Modern age is built on rational thought & enlightenment. The merits of an issue should be decided by evidence & logic, not by loudness of voice and applause. ‘Often a hen that only laid an egg cackles as if she laid an asteroid.’ - Mark Twain. Could we tone down decibel level?

Crime investigation & collection of evidence are as important as justice delivery & should be kept out of politics. CBI crisis is a symptom of failure of rule of law & accountability in India. We need comprehensive reform of police, prosecution & justice system. Will we act?

In our vast and diverse country talented, public-spirited citizens will need decades of experience to emerge as leaders, unless they are dynastic successors. Our median age is 29, and we need strong, empowered city &local govts to give young leaders opportunity to shine & grow.

Punjab could transform rule of law, education, healthcare & local governments - all entirely in State's power. A set of well-designed, thoughtful, purposive reforms will galvanise our democracy. Other states will realise that votes exist in good governance, and emulate Punjab.2/2

Such humane leadership is what the world needs today. The ‘Us vs Them’ attitude borne out of prejudice and fear is the root cause of much of the global strife today. Let us not lose heart; the world is getting better, but a lot more needs to be done. https:

Jan 6 was a wake up call for all democracies. The West won the Cold War by proving that freedom and prosperity go together. But China prospered by combining autocracy with meritocracy, nationalism, rational policy & free markets. We must again prove that freedom = prosperity.
