The question is: has he? He should, if he aspires to be a leader of all Indians, at least have the decency to reply. But, regardless, your effort has to be praised. If we are to survive as a civilisation and remain sane, we MUST hope that, ultimately, humans are decent and compassionate.

Change will come ..... We must dare to dream .... We can be the change ...." How true indeed ! The "Sadbhavana Melawa" recently held at Shivaji Park, Mumbai on Saturday 15th Nov.'08, was attended by several thousands of people from all walks of life - primarily Catholics and some members of other communities as well. Amongst the numerous participants were my mother-in-law (a senior citizen), two of her grandchildren aged about 9 & 11 and their aunt and many friends and acquaintances. The meeting lasted several hours stretching from the afternoon till evening with several speeches made by the archbishop, various prominent leaders and activists. It was a really hot and dusty day. The seats in the restricted VIP enclosure were all taken. Most of the ordinary and common folk sat on the ground listening patiently and encouraging the speakers from time to time with their applause. What was really striking about the melawa was NOT the presence of dignitaries, leaders & activists or the speeches they made: what indeed was touching and deeply moving was the presence of simple ordinary folk living out their lives in anonymity, taking time off, despite the heat, dust and inconveniences to come together in such large numbers. The STATEMENT made by their PRESENCE eclipsed all else that evening. That statement seemed to echo the words " .... Change will come ..... We must dare to dream .... We can be the change ....". That "still, small voice" of anonymous folk, often ignored and bypassed by leaders - political, religious or otherwise, will one day become a roar of thunder bringing about change in our country and the Church, whether we like it or not. This is our FAITH. God is at Work. Prem Dear George,

” …. Change will come ….. We must dare to dream …. We can be the change ….”

How true indeed !

Having said this the worst culprits are the elected leaders who are educated who understand economics and global structures. We have them but they are frozen in action Thanks for your comment, Gasper
