Baba, This is a very good one. Very interesting story. Let me try and compliment it with a contrast. He is a very unassuming person; a very good communicator, eloquent and knowledgeable in his speech deliberations. He is the one person, who singurlarly, ignited the flames of civic passion and instilled a burning desire of patriotism to a younger generation, who voraciously satiated from the fountain of knowledge issuing from his mighty pen. He is the one who ripple the calm waters, and amid the storm sail gently to shore with his powerful insights; his clever polemics and his fervent critique of the decay and backwardness of the political dispensation of the day. He is Dr. Mam Biram; an astute, erudite, upright, selfless, dedicated and committed intellectual to the total overhaul of the abusive state machinery of governing. In its place, Dr. Biram wants to help build a vibrant democracy that is attuned to the needs and aspirations of the people. A democracy whose engine is lubricated with the voices of dissent; the freedom of expression to do and say that which is not injurious to the welfare and well being of others. Dr. Biram wants to help build a country that everyone would be proud to call home. A country where none should be a slave to another person and everyone should be a master of his or her own destiny. Why is it so difficult to build such a country? The answer to this question....
