“it is absolutely important that we remind ourselves that it is high time Indians gave up voluntary servitude.”- agree with that. One way is to educate people thru blogs; this small step may result in a cascading effect in the course of time. The famous frenchman, Voltaire, was thrown in Bastille for his bok, CASTRIDE. He had emigrated to lead a free life in England after serving the sentence. Englnad was ready for him. But sadly, only later posthumously, France claimed back its illustrious son with all the adulation. As a step in right direction, I myself invaded the blogs of a few Indian (and US) newspapers including the TOIlet paper. I dont call myself an armchair revolutionary anymore instead I call myself Iam an humble activist now.Stop with stupid classifications like maharashtrians, Bengalis, Gujjus so forth. Those states, remember, gave us Vivekananda, Shivaji and Sardar Patel.The state division is only for ease of administrative purposes and nothing more.cheers…surya, chicago
