The Layman agrees with Ramachandra Guha after reading his essay, Will India Become A Superpower? published in Outlook. He is optimistic about the nation’s future.
Reading the essay made me feel like a culprit accused of so many crimes.
We live our lives, ignorant of the consequences of our actions. We don’t care about our carbon footprint. We don’t care if some adivaasis in a distant forest are relocated due to political ambitions. We don’t care if the air is getting polluted or the water resources are getting depleted. All we care about is our daily existence. What else should we worry about? Right?
It seems futile to protest..to resist.
But as the historian says, the problem may partially be attributed to our mindsets.
