| Hi Folks |
 |
“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.” 2 of our national leaders epitomize this adage – M K Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri, both of whom share their birthdays on 2nd October. While Gandhiji’s frail figure but iron will galvanized the entire nation during our freedom struggle, Shastriji’s rather puny size but firm and self – |
| effacing manner ushered in the much-needed ‘green revolution’ in the ’60s. The courage of conviction was their strength, not their physical capability. Added to this was their integrity and complete disdain for amassing personal wealth. |
| It is not clear whether the man of the moment, Mr. Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh compares with these 2 giants in terms of size or will or both or none. Surely he seems to have unshackled himself and has taken the bull by its horns, by announcing the much-awaited changes in the Foreign Direct Investment Policy. Amidst the brouhaha of anticipated foreign investment uplifting our sagging economy, let us not be brow-beaten by the biggies of the business. They need us as much as we need them. It is a 2-way game that we need to play to our advantage, of course following the ‘healthy rules of the game’. |
