This is an input from an intellectual from outside India #Manmohan_Singh and #Narendra_Modi will come and go, but India will remain for ever. If democracy is compromised in order to make a political leader or a political party strong, India will become weak. I learnt about democracy and secular values when I worked closely with JP. I was an office-bearer in Patna University Students Union in 1973-1975 ( with Lalu Yadav, Sushil Modi and Ravishankar Prasad). I was part of the student movement, I resisted emergency and I was active in 1977 election which was an election for democracy. I went to jail to protect the democratic rights of people. I stopped political activities in 1977 and concentrated on my studies, but I have strong faith in the legacy of Gandhi and JP who saw a dream of India where people of different religions lived in dignity and harmony and the governments policies showed concern for the down-trodden people. I am sure you share the vision of our freedom-fighters.
