Letter from India

Wednesday, 02 Dec, 2008 0

NEW DELHI – The next few weeks will be filled with introspection, with questions being asked and answers being demanded.

We will no doubt see our gutless, soulless pathetic lot of political leadership use this event for political gain.

Politics is in the fabric of India and we have long chosen to be led rather than lead.

Words cannot express the intensity of emotions that is flowing through the people of India. Words cannot express the anger we have against the people who lead us.

Words cannot express my personal anger at the educated & influential citizens of India who sit back and watch as our country is raped by our leadership. Words cannot express my personal shame at being one of those who chose to be complacent.

In addition to the global travel fraternity, this communication goes out to many Indians in India and outside who are in a position to make a change.

Indians who either hold power in business, in government or simply in their communities. Enough is enough. It is time we stood up and took back our country.

We today as Indians insult the memories of those who gave their lives in the freedom struggle that allow us the privileges we enjoy and abuse. It is now time that we wake up and do something.

It’s time to take India back and make us proud of being Indian. It’s time to let our leadership know that their mediocrity and incompetence will no longer be tolerated.

If you as a citizen of India want to help to make this start, send me a mail and we shall share our thoughts in the weeks to come.

To our other friends all over the world, the situation on the ground is calm. life is returning to normal in Mumbai and other parts of the country. The rebuilding process has started.
