India needs brain power, said Sri Aurobindo. We should be able to discuss the most complex issues with simplicity and clarity like the brilliant minds of the past. We have the Tejas and Brahmos. We need to practice using and testing them. So that our adhyatma is deployed in glory
ବିବର୍ତ୍ତନର ଚିହ୍ନ ହେଲା ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ। ମଣିଷ ଜୀବନ ଭଳି ସାମାଜିକ କ୍ଷେତ୍ରରେ ମଧ୍ଯ ଅଦଳ ବଦଳ ହେବା ସ୍ବାଭାବିକ। ପୁରୁଣା ପରମ୍ପରା ଲୋପ ପାଇ ନୂଆ ଲୋକପ୍ରିୟ ହେବା ଚିରାଚରିତ। ଆଜିକାଲି ପୁଣି ମୋବାଇଲର କରାମତି ଭେଳିକିଭେଳି। କିଏ ଭଲ କିଏ ଭେଲ ଠିକଣା କରିବା କଷ୍ଟ। କିନ୍ତୁ ଅର୍ଥନୈତିକ ଦିଗକୁ ଅବହେଳା କଲେ କେବେ କୋଉ ଜିନିଷ ସ୍ଥାୟୀ ହବନି।
All citizens are potential Prime Ministers in a democracy but most don't aspire to become. The party system in India too doesn't favour a merit-based contest. People get swayed by feudalism and theatrics. Even popular Chief Ministers don't dare to throw their hats in the ring.

Problem is that nothing can be called evil since democracy is evolving. So each phase has a role for honing a possible perfection in the future. Human nature is not democratic and the party functioning reflects that. The question is whether such level of morality can be practiced.
