Well there are some of us who can keep crying, and some of us who can see the good side and take the right step. You must not forget that it is Nehru (and others along with him) who chose to make India a democracy. (You can contrast India with Pakistan, which became independent at the same time as India and realize what a filthy mess Pakistan is in). You must not forget that at the time of independence India was totally dependent on foreign countries for all its needs. We saw the green revolution under the congress. We saw IT sector rise and grow. And the very fact that we can dream of reaching a superpower status in another 25-30 years, and that too when it has been only 60 years since our independence, it goes on to prove that Nehru did in some way set India forth on the right foot. Things don't change in a day. And those who promise change in a day are all liars. But it is important that we do not lose our direction, that we see the right path. There are countless distractions on the path to success. Politicians will come and try to divide the country on religion, region, language and caste. They will promise to wipe out corruption in a day (even when they themselves are born right out of it). But we must keep on the right path and keep the future in mind.
