Shishir Bhate is right in his choice of the title and almost all that follows. The main thing I jib at is dragging in the name of Christ who apparently advocates turning the other cheek along with downright misleading statements, if not lies like hellfire awaits the outsiders, and there being no other way to god except through him: hardly the stuff of derring-do.
As Shishir rightly states we have stories, sayings and proverbs in their millions to choose from, all we need are a handful of leaders with the verve, foresight and valour of such as Jhansi ki Rani, Subhash Chander Bose and Bhagat Singh and I for one will re-enlist in the army. Jiten
