People and leaders
In response to one of your valued readers, may I please apprise him of the fact that farmers, masons, blacksmiths, butchers, teachers, writers, engineers, singers, military personnel, bureaucrats, doctors ... all participated in our war for freedom. Not only 'farmers and chashis'. Each has a respective place in society and there they look good. A mason should not lead a nation, nor a 'farmer or chashi'.
Political leaders should only be from a background where he/she is capable of understanding economics, foreign trade and international affairs. He/She should be able to interpret the above mentioned knowledge base into better living for the people...This is called democracy.
Putting on lungi and gamcha and buying votes from illiterate poor farmers in exchange for a single meal does not work. This is not democracy.
