Dear Sandeep,
I think all of us see the Nehru family from different perspectives, but for all
of their short-comings, they were people of action, of charisma, of resonance
with the public. Who do we have today, who we can say inspires us? I can't
think of anyone.
By now, Manmohan should at the very least have been on a plane to Orissa. My
pain is second-hand and extremely self-serving. It's only anguish is that I too
am Christian and maybe one day forced to flee my home. My pain dwells in the
realm of what-if? But there are people hiding in that jungle who are all too
real. To the government, they are worth the 3 lakhs declared as compensation
and nothing more.
