Mark Twain had once called India the "..cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition..."
- Given the present state of her affairs, I am not sure India would recognize herself in us today.
Nonetheless, the optimist in me would like to believe that beneath all the superficial filth and dilapidated health of its governance, underlying the pregnant silence before the storm, there may be a semblance of a new India waiting to be born.

Sonia, I believe so too and so do many like-minded people, that's why we are changing and evolving. Great post.
Sulekha - thanks for the note.
As humans go through transitions so does their country or land. A step forward is a start but what pushes these changes... People or the Country first?
Good thought Savira. Isn't it the people that make a Country and its culture?
change is good, its how we deal with it is the question.
nicely written...
