We Need Educated Leaders

Let’s stop criticizing our politicians who do not even deserve a bit of attention. We have more important things to do. It’s high time we all focus our energies on what can be done to better the situation we are in.

I feel my country needs educated leaders. We do have intelligent and honest people in our country, who are capable of leading the nation well. Barkha Dutt is a prominent example. We need personalities like Rajdeep Sardesai, Vikram Chandra, Prannoy Roy, Shobha De to take the stride in their hands. Our present politicians can be handed over with the camera and mikes. The media and politicians of our country need to switch places. The media seems to know everything wrong that the politicians are doing, and they do have intelligent people in their team, so why not assign the task to someone who is atleast capable of trying. I understand that many such people might not be willing to give up their present work, but even if a few of them are ready to step forward, I am sure they will have huge support from the public.

Nobody in Delhi really wanted to vote this time. We all know that no party deserves it. We all voted just for the heck of it! Till when can this go on?
