I appreciate the convincing style in the article. I also agree with the fact of opportunistic attitude. But what I fail to understand is that this represent India. I have travlled to lenght and breadth of India right from Punjab to Tamil Nadu from Bihar to Maharashtra. You know what is evident? It is the India struglling for the basics . It is the India finding hard to gather drinking water where at the same time people in urban land is planning to put up new swiming pool. This state of tolerant and helping people has been transformed by the foreign rulers into an state of opportunistic people. They made sure when they leave India they leave it in such hands which will maitain this character so that they can reap benefits. As an indian how can you forget that this was a land of people who believed in Duty. It is wriiten in Gita and practiced for almost pre british era " Karmane Vadhika raste ,Ma faleshu kadachina...." Thy shall perform his duty without expecting any fruits or results. The India which you have potrayed is Urban India . I suggest you come and visit rural India where the trust still exists .Where people will offer you food irrespective of your relegion and their poverty. I know this will not last long as the urban greed is taking its toll and will gallop the society very soon. The core of knowledge doesnot lie in stating what it is ,it lies in saying why it is so. This is more important in a society which has transformed in few years. regards
