Happy whatever they're celebrating back home - combo of Muslim New Year +
Prophet's birthday. Correct me if am wrong!

You can't be wrong in that - I said many times that democracy is not simply
an organo-gram of some governmental structures but a life style of a
people. That's to say it can't happen without the requisite human capacity
capable of living a life of democracy. All governments are force in one
form or another!

It occurs to me we have lot to fix before we can get the desire result -
our task is which one logically or reasonably or scientifically or socially
or economically or politically, etc. should we start with.

I also said we are dealing with a jumbled up puzzle - running out hands
through hoping the pieces will fall in place is not likely. That
probability is extremely low - our statisticians can help calculate
that! Therefore
we have to be methodical - pick each piece and place it at it right spot.

We're in no disagreement- I only hold serious reservations about approaches
advocated so far. And unless I point my concerns, rather than following the
flow like a death fish, I felt betraying my conscience.

Again enjoy whatever is being celebrated out there!
