It's the time in Indian politics, when many records have been broken and many new established. Driven by it, I felt an utter need to put forward my views on the same.
Well, not going in to much of its statistics, for the social media is already flooded with that. I actually used to believe, that in India, it is not the democracy or religion, but only cricket which unites us together. I was right, but until yesterday, the game-changing day in Indian political history. It was like India winning the world cup (needless to say - a "cricket" world cup), and every Indian played in the final match.
Everyone has their favorites (and that's okay), but I really feel it is no longer about the favorites. It is about the nation, about the people wanting the change so badly. It is about the ever-most-aware generation. It is about the 9-phase election process and the counting taking place peacefully. It is about an ever-huge majority wanting the same thing, wherein everyone feels being not only a citizen of India, but INDIA him/herself. It is the first time when I feel INDIA as a truly democratic country.

The only problem I feel here is, we Indians are too RELIGIOUS. We believe in God like hell (not literally the "hell"). We make temples of our cricketers and film-stars. We also fling stones at a star-cricketer's house if he fails to perform. And we get drained in the flow. Let's not do that.
Just for a change, keeping aside, how Kejriwal actually turned out to be, let us not do at the national level what we did with Kejriwal in Delhi. Let us work more, be patient and be righteous. And the most important - let us NOT expect MIRACLES.
Modi has yet to prove many things to India. Let our faith not become blind, let's be vigilant.
Let's NOT get MODIfied. Let's get REAL to the nation. And as they say, be the change we want to see in the world (here "nation") :-)
