Justice Iyer may be a great constitutional lawyer but he's still an old socialist fart. Socialism as an ideology has been dumped the world over, and no matter what he says, it takes money to make money, and nothing good comes free - there are no free lunches. Nehru's destructive 'socialism' had emasculated the economy and pauperized the nation, creating a nation dependednt on Sarkar and the good graces of an all pervasive corrupt monstrosity called the Permit and License Raj. And worse, Gandhi's naieve and myopic 'village economy' model would have pushed India backwards right into the middle ages. For the first time in ages, India is headed in the right direction - she only need unity of purpose and effective governance, accompanied by vigorous reforms, and unbiased and evenhanded enforcement of her laws - rather than the dictates of politics. Yes, youth can and will change India, but have they been taught the rights and obligations of good citizenship, civic duty etc., or will they be churned out like money-hungry cogs in a huge wheel of selfish greed?
