So we Indians are open about our differences; we do not attempt to subsume overselves in a homogeneous mass, we do not resort to the identity disguising tricks of standardize names or uniform costumes or even of a common national language. We are all different; as the French, that most Indian of Europeon peoples, like to put it, albeit in another context, vive la difference( live the difference !)
-shashi tharoor (The great Indian Novel) — reading The Great Indian Novel

 

 

 

 debates continue on how a huge country with  a vivid  variety of masses need to be governed balancing the opinions and views of the so called majorities and minorities. but to me the change lies in how we see things.i believe that what is left to do, is to realize the strength of that common thread that binds all of us.

yes,

bengalis, gujaraties, malayalles,madrasis assameese and many more we are. In spite of these many differences ,what you are with  spirit for your country is what counts the most. so let me make a change to it mr.tharoor, long live the unity of India !!
