In india even today when we conduct seminars or training programs if one where to ask who is the greatest leader we have produced omst of the people answer Mahatama Gandhi. Does this mean we are unable to produce leaders in this country any more or we just do not want to be good leaders. I have been trying to get this answer for many years and so far i am not really able to say why we are unable to produce leaders with great vision. I think it has something to do with our upbringing and the way we react to a situation. When something is going wrong we indians have decided to keep quiet and from then on we start compromising on everything we do. If the street light is not working we will not complain, if there is an accident on road we will not take time to help that person: like this we keep mum on various small things happening in our society and in this way we curb our willingness to develop into a good human being..To me a good leader is nothing but a good human being. Unfortunately we are losing our value based education every day and the real thing is sacrificed for artifical look. I am sorry to say until we peoduce good human beings we cannot come up in sphere of activity.

I agree with your argument. But think if you stop to help a person on the road who has just met an accident. You would not be sure about the situation that if the person dies of the injuries, you might end up behind bar or the cops will keep visiting your home everyday for inquiry just to loosen your pocket.
So, what I think where we lack is that if I become a good person then there are another 1-less-the-billion population of this country who would pull down my pants. So, the best thing that an Indian can do in this country is live his/her life silently, earn a handsome salary and save for future days.
If one wants to become a good person then he/she will have to waste a lot of his hard earned money, time and peace of mind and at the end of the day he will have nothing in his/her hand.
Please think over it. Once you will go through any suchy ordeal, you would silently sit at your home and enjoy the tea.
Or if you think the other way then you will have to become a warrior and you would rather end up killing a few fellow Indians who are ever ready to test your patience.
