I too was certainly bowled over by Rahul's speech. I am no admirer of the Gandhi family, yet Rahul's speech was simple and yet logical. I am not in favor of the Nuclear Deal because it will be India's White Elephant in coming centuries, of which I had explained elsewhere in my several posts at Rediff Forum. By calling himself an Indian and not a politician he has certainly made an impression. I only hope his deeds are as good as his words in the future. No more repeat of Bofors and such other scams in the future. We look forward to Rahul as a politician for the young generation. But he needs to groom himself up and come out of the BabaLog syndrome. He has to learn the ropes from the grassroots and then should he try to enter real politics. He should not get catapulted to the PM's chair by the Congress Sycohnats, just like they did with Rajiv Gandhi. Rajiv was misleeded by his Doon school cronies and the chamchas in his party. Its sad he lost his life too early in life. Rahul and Priyanka both nice and polite must be weary of those who hang around them talking sweet. They must first get to the bottom of India's problem and find an indegenous soultion. They should not listen to anglophile Corporate guys or Havard educated politicians and Indians. Rahul as he said he is a Indian first, is very much like Vivekanada's speech at Chicago "My Brothers and Sisters of America" that won hearts in the US when he went there to explain Indian philosophy of life.
