Have you ever thought How would India look like ten years or twenty years down the line? Nowadays, when I stand at some mall or station, I feel intimidated with the sheer scale of population. Sometimes, I see only human heads and heads on the horizon. This makes me doubtful of the future of India. And this makes me ponder over my own identity and existence in such a crowded setup. Questions like who am I and what am I doing buzz louder in my ears causing me a headache.
But when I sit in my solitude in my study room and switch on All India Radio or when I take a general bus and observe people around, I feel confident about Indian future. The kind of questions raised over AIR gives me a thrill of democracy that come what may, this country can not become dictatorial. Similarly, talking to a person in general compartment gives me hope about life and future that when he can have eyes brimming with expectations, dreams and hopes then why can't I?
Though this does not resolve my fear or question. Democracy has a threat of turning into mobocracy. The recent violence and arson in Haryana is a testimony to it. Similarly, A person full of hope and dreams would not take much longer to turn into a beast filled with greed and anger if his dreams are not fulfilled.
Anyway these were majorly fleeting thoughts. I feel good about all the powers I have. Powers about which I will write some other time.
