On the eve of Independence, Nehru had declared India's 'Tryst
with Destiny' as redeemed. However, thanks mainly to shenanigans
and the venality of its political and bureaucratic executive, the
hope held out by that 'Destiny' has turned into unqualified despair
by now. And, it is as good as cast in stone that before it got
opportunity to celebrate the centenary of its Independence, India
(or whatever had been left of it) would be busy redeeming its tryst
with the forces of Doom. The rest of the world too can't escape
being caught up in the death throes of so huge a nation and suffer
tremendously.
Hopeless is said to be the lot of the peoples that await a
Saviour to rescue them from the consequences of actions that may or
may not belong to them. System - and not person - is what they
should place their collective faith in. As for the Indians, they
were given a system, alright. But, tragically, the same not only
failed to deliver them of their ills, old and new, but has also
corrupted itself almost irredeemably. So, a person - call him
Savior, 'man-Friday', or just a national '"Chotu"' - it has to be,
as far as they are concerned.
Present book is an attempt to find out whether the legatees of
the venerable land, whose two millennia long caste reprehensibility
was first compounded by six centuries of slavery, then overlaid by
two centuries of imperialism, and, finally, aggravated beyond
imagination by six decades long orgy of corruption and sins
practiced in the fair names of democracy and people, have got so
lucky as to have produced a leader who they could all place their
collective faith in, giving him all out support to enable him to
extricate them from the mess they have been stuck in and save their
future for them.
