Will the middle class truly create the next revolution? The most frustrating aspect is that, even if we all get together and decide that we will change the country tomorrow, I cannot think of even one good leader who has the potential to be at the helm of that change.
May be this time change will be more organic, more bottom up...without glorifying any leader in particular, having a self-policing public that does not need a charismatic leader, but makes sure that anyone who is elected will be forced to perform well..
Pipe dream? Maybe. But every change in the world started off as a distant dream, didn't it?
I think India has a long way to go in this regard. Political activism is almost unheard of; and the middle class will get back to the rat race before long.
