I admire Mr Shashi a lot. also, please lend me the oppurtunity here.. almost all sticky issues in gaping at us indians can be traced to preventable issues of diversity. no doubt we have begun gaining ground on international stage.. but we still have a long way to gain international respect and crdibility .. as mr.Tharoor learnt to his and as well as our indians expense ( sec. general of UNO appointment). we need a new lot of learned, selfless leaders with clear vision, who for the starts are respected by the masses, and vice versa. other things will fall back in place sooner than imagined. The new found resurgence is an indication that the common man has the potential to be globally competitive ..but to gain respect from others, we have to get started from home.
