In 1947 a nation achieved its independence, from a foreign ruler. A nation ruled by many foreigners, this is not something new. But, what this person bad among them all is that, he didn't make this land one of his own. Thus, we needed a freedom from the white ruler. A nation with diversity can only exist in one form, Democracy!!!
The democracy is incomplete without representation by the people. We did have good people, good leaders, who fought for our freedom. The people who led our people to freedom, they are either born leaders or created as one. But, we had our representatives. They served the nation as they fought for it. They could be trusted and voted for. They have done their part in the nation building and people building. But, as years passed and many elections with it. We are facing the drought like never before. Not only that of the water. But, also that of Leaders. We are in the making of Democratic dictatorship, with one leader to Rule them all.. Ex: Congress is begging for a leader not willing. In Tamilnadu, the AIADMK is asking for a leader to unite them all. The same way a dictatorship creates a vacuum, when the dictator dies.
We have built a Dam on a dying river. The dam is only as good as its ability to collect and hold water. Likewise the democracy is only as good as its ability to elect and hold good leaders. When the water dries out, so does the use of dam, likewise when the leaders dry out. so does the death of democracy. We have failed to create leadership grooming system.
Romans used to select the best generals as their leaders. Where do we select our leaders from? Sons of leaders are starting become leaders. The failure to groom a leader or to find a leader would make us into A Dictatorship in Disguise.
