Watching the Lead India video (If the link does not work, try this URL, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAe_bZGqU1g), the overwhelming feeling that i had was that it takes a Young Heart to stand up, coz A young heart knows no Fear. Collectively, we can solve all our problems, but we lack that quality of Leadership, or need a prod from behind to get things moving. We are supremely protective of our territory and we react only when the happening around us affect us and threaten to displace us from the position of comfort. We care too much about getting our feet dirty, even when we know that without doing so, we cannot clean up the mess that is our home. Reminds me of the speech where Manivannan gives a piece of his mind to Arjun in the tamil movie 'Mudhalvan', to convince him to take up active politics.
Why are we so timid, and lack natural leadership? Is it the Fear of failure (Atychiphobia) under the gaze of a million eyes, or is it because we don't want any compromise or sacrifices on the part of an individual for the collective good of the community? We are a country that has grown up listening to tales of valour, bravery and sacrifice but none of the qualities of the protagonists of the numerous stories that we have heard seems to have rubbed off on us. Will we change? Will we ever stand up for our rights and not let be exploited at the hands of the ruffians called Politicians? Stumped...
