Which democracy in the world has the distinction that there was unanimous agreement on an issue? Differing voices can't be an indication of lost national cause. There are people who see the bad signs as detailed in this column and regret it. But there are others who see the great achievements and get motivated about it. We have to be happy that today a fisherman's son can become a president of India. A refugee can become a prime minister of the country. Today we have to feel proud that there are opportunities to succeed and there are people and means to help. I am not of course saying that bad things as detailed in the column needs to be ignored. Every generation has its battles. Our forefathers fought for freedom. Today we have to fight to make sure that their dreams are not dead. Such fights only help people to discover themselves just like a cause like national freedom helped Gandhiji to discover himself. It is foolish not to recognize the fights that are being won by brave people who are working hard to make those dreams of our forefathers true some day.
