Buliding Rome!

There has always been a controversy, a thin divide between extremism and radical socialism. Indian History gives example of Bhagat Singh as extremist and Lala Lajpat Rai as radical socialist. So, does the age balance come into effect in its determinism? In any case, the question has always fallen on the back of youth. I have less idea of politics but when Rajiv Gandhi came to power at centre, much hope were associated with him stating that he will bring the revolution as he’s the leader of young and new generation. But does that mean that the idea of corruption or unimproved society, an associated part of old rulers of the government? Shouldn’t we expect any far-sighted and radical change from the age-old political leaders who have seen the ups and downs of the national scenario? I presume it’s not only the laziness but sheer habit of shrugging the responsibilities off one’s own shoulder which makes the a large mass of the Indian population just expect and do not act. Whosoever is in power has not only the liability and responsibility but also the ability to bring in changes. One revolution, one small step, one motion towards the change to uproot the very source of corruption, defection and abuse will no doubt be carried on by the time and generation to follow towards a giant leap. But it needs a start. However, what we usually find is a continuous effort by those in power to keep on muddling with the shallow water and mixing dirt in it rather than looking for some deep sources. So, the shallow water is never still to allow dirt to settle while the deep waters remain calm and untouched.
The time is running out to stand and wait for someone young and enthusiastic to arrive and then blow the wind of changes. If those in power can’t bring the changes to remove the stains prevelant in the society and politics and economy, they should no doubt quit from their posts. Permit others to take a chance. Rome was not built in a day but the hands who built Rome never stopped.

Of course Chandra has taken a cue from Rang De Basanti... but Shri Chandra, if you'll take a cue from me, please don't adopt the RDB gang's methods.
