Let us not seek to make this a society of angels but let us at least strive to better it from a condition where even angels fear to tread. This is only possible if people have power over their lives at the grass-roots level, power being vested in those elected in a pragmatic, democratic process that widens the power base and does not focus it in the hands of a person selected by a bureaucratic process. At least the present regime has a definite agenda and is embarked positively on that direction, not camouflaged under the figleaf of rhetoric. Our present rulers are at the crossroads not only of destiny but opportunity, the right path will make this country rise to the level of its destiny, a wrong choice will also consign them to the dustbin of history. Such is the responsibility and stakes that governance brings along with the trappings of power.
Nothing symbolises the constant struggle through the millenniums against tyranny than Chechnya.
It is no use railing against the world because the world has no answer for its lack of concern. That is the enduring thought for the new millennium, for our children's sake, freedom is worth dying for. Against that ultimate resolve no amount of tyranny will stand.
