Good governance
Good governance is the need of the hour, where there would be no political interference and the entire system should be so smooth that there would be no delay in delivery system. The civil society should be a participant and stakeholder in governance. To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage and kindness. What we choose to emphasize will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places -- and there are so many -- where people behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of the present, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvellous victory.
