Even after what the US has done, here people are still trying to convert dynastic descendants into Obamas! With that kind of mindset even outside of the suffocating political system that throws up only those 'born into privilege', an India Obama will remain no more than a mirage.<BR/><BR/>A year back, even the Prime Minister had said that our model of democracy had failed. I wrote about how and why it had. One can't surrender to that failure and give up. <BR/><BR/>That is why the hope. But, as you have said it most beautifully, if we just keep our beaks open like chicks, mama bird is not going to come. We have to do something. And we can make a start by casting our votes and educating at least the few that we can. A chain reaction started at the right time can work wonders.Vinod_Sharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14654167848186778789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22513530.post-80048329755055937032008-11-11T13:11:00.000+03:002008-11-11T13:11:00.000+03:00Absolutely spot on.Many reasons the US has got a b...Absolutely spot on.<BR/>Many reasons the US has got a better process - the PRez system rather than the Indian indirect way of electing the PM. Also the longer process. But most importantly, it is issues, and important ones at that, that have determined the electoral process.<BR/><BR/>You are quite right, its a reflection of the people we are. The US electorate is more mature and civilised (politically incorrect statement I guess), we are not. <BR/><BR/>And they (and we) get what we deserve.
