All you said is absolutely true, however, talking about it will not make any difference....neither me writing this to you...because what this country needs is to wake up....from its sleep....full of lethargy, get rid of its buck passing attitude, and try to regain its lost sense of civilisation....And this has to start from our own houses....tell me how many of us do not pay the hawaldar on the road to avoid our cars from being taken away to tollwala...how many of us do not litter outside....how many of us have actually taken the initiative to solve a problem rather than relying on somebody else to take a stand....very few i guess...but then again in a country like ours, it becomes quite impossible....but there has to be a start...i pray there is one soon...Besides comparing the country to France at this stage where all the public policies of the French are going haywire with the CPE and others.I would think we are at a much better position. And politicians!!!....they are everywhere from Ms. Sonia Gandhi to Mr. Berlusconi.that again is for us to changethrough our voteswhich many do not even avail of.Our origins lie in the assertion of our rights starting from the freedom strugglebut this does not mean strikes and bandhswe need new peoplewho have our voicewho think of a new and a better India.
