Someone thought this no good and decided to call himself kulapati, the Governor or whoever is the chancellor is not anxious to be called kulapati in any case. In any case the question of what constitutes leadership is extremely difficult to answer. But perhaps none can deny that the leader is one worthy of emulation, so says the Bhagvad Gita itself. Take public life. Before Independence and immediately after 1947, we had a whole galaxy of those worthy of emulation.
Today there are none, absolutely none.
Take the administration, the IAS, the IPS, the IFS, and all the other civil services, blank. Take the armed forces, blank. Take the academic field, blank. And so on, endlessly. You will argue that the rest of the world seems to be getting along well without this search for leadership.
