The "next Gandhi" can talk all he wants, but unless he
seriously and relentlessly addresses the issues of
civic sense at every level which leads to much of
India's disgusting squalor, now getting more out of
place amid all the shining technological and economic
progress, no progress will be made in this important
philosophical area.

I think it will come in time, but the sooner it does
the better. The emotional responses to even humorous
commentary on the incongruity of wholesale
reservations shows that large sections of "the
country" still depend on what "the country" can do for
its people.

The only comment I would quibble with is that it is
still the thinking of much of "the west". I doubt the
citizens of much of Europe subscribe to this
philosophy any more, and the riots in France and the
stagnant economies of all the larger European
countries is evidence of this.
