India remains a robust democracy. Sections of citizenry freely exercise their right to oppose what they choose to do so and the government shows remarkable restraint in negotiating its way. The majoritarianism, which is spoken about ad nauseam, is apparently not a reality as all possible views are in the public domain, no matter how much one grudges the other view. All these have few parallels in the world.
At the same time, we cannot ever be complacent. National unity is a critical issue, and we must do everything possible for strengthening it. We must counter the designs which seek to disrupt social harmony and economic growth and simultaneously must nurse an ecology that inspires all to partake in the national resurgence.
Further, this is the time we must come up with great ideas: ideas which get not only our country but the whole world, every inhabitant of this planet, to one's best ever. Only we Indians can play this role, who from the very beginning have ideated about non-othering, which is exceptional as ideas are mostly about othering.
Here, I reiterate: India's strength is its democracy. And, yet another reiteration: only de-disempowered individuals and de-incapacitated personal or private agency can give the Indic democracy the vitality it needs to rescue the world from the chaos it has degenerated into. The world after defeating the devilry of Bolshevism got somehow inattentive towards global commons and gradually it is again in a morass. Only India has the momentum now to steer the world to its good.
India is a global cause: a cause of human good. We with the rest of folks of all the continents must contribute to the cause with unwavering conviction.
