I think there are two people I would be most indebted to for making India what it is ... and also giving an ordinary Indian like me the dignity to live as an Indian....

First is ofcourse Nehru....I thank him for having built the institutions in India... today we are not in the same state as some of the other erstwhile colonies in the world because of Nehru's steadfast belief in the destiny of India... for having infused securalism in our government, for having built a society that promotes higher learning... Thankyou Mr. Nehru....

The other person I would definitely thank is Manmohan Singh... besides being the PM MS had the tough job of being the Finance Minister when the entire country was bankrupt.....he engineered the financial revolution in India the benefits of which are being seen by Indians today... people forget that in 1993 India was facing one of its toughest economic crisises ever.... and it took the unshackling of regulations by MS to get India back in the game... and today after 17 years India is one of the fastest growing economies of the world... and it is touted that India will have the biggest number of billionaires in the world.... Thankyou MS....

So when will the next generation of Nehru and MS come about in India?
