It is frustrating! There is a moron, a murderer as the now famous tweet mentioned. Only it failed to mention that there is an anarchist who has recently joined the bandwagon.
Don't take me wrong. I am an optimist. I believe in the system. May be the system needs some small works here and there, but overhauling the system as the Prince repeated often is not my idea.
So, where are the statesman? The Lincoln's, the Washington's, the Mandela's and the Gandhi's I was made to read about. Indeed, as a child I had read about em all and 'awed' at some of them. I was taught they are leaders because they were honest; they cared for the people and fought injustice. I was taught the world is a better place just because they led their people.
Sadly for us, there is one who makes history books look foolish, whose biggest aide has two murder cases on him, who thinks the reason for malnutrition in children is the beauty consciousness of girls(Yes! He is stupid) and who does not inspire any confidence among two large chunk of people. Then there is the other whose greatest achievement is to have kept Arnab quite for two hours. I mean it! For two hours Arnab was dumb stuck! At the foolishness of it all. At the thought that people like me are still fools to think that he is going to change the system which his forefathers constructed and he himself was part of for ten long years. Like the kid which builds its own house and breaks it only to build another in the beach sand.
I hope and pray that the third one does not take the route taken by the leaders (Oops!) of this country. But already the signs are ominous and I dare not have big expectations.
So that takes me to my question again. Where are the statesman? May be I'm so naive to believe that a statesman will rise up from a motley group of jokers that we are. There can't be and won't be a leader worth naming unless us( Yes! You and me) behave like we deserve one.
I mean, A people as dishonest as us, as brutal and as criminal as we are don't deserve one; do we?
