Public support is inherently fickle, self-centred and myopic ... Its changes goal posts on daily basis ... Ram lost public support within months of occupying the throne, and was publicly hounded to disassociate himself from Janaki ... Krishna had to flee Mathura within months of overthrowing Kamsa ... Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was shot within months of Indias freedom ... Arvind Kejriwal would do well to learn the lessons of history and mythology ... Heroes need not be accepted by society ... And their allegiance is to the larger nation and society ... Not the mob which inhabits it ...
