Dear Sir,

This is Harsh, your student. 

This is following today's discussion in the class about how government is almost always in a fix with respect to the policies it has to make, even if it has the best intentions of the people in mind. 

The problem arises because in a country as diverse as India, there are always opposing requirements among its people at any given time. Due to limited resources, the govt has to take the middle path in order to pacify the people. This leads to slow down of progress, if at all any. 

In a country like India, or any country for that matter, the solution for any widespread problem has to come from the people only. Only when people realize that large scale development requires some discomforts on smaller scales and agree to put up with it for the greater good can such a change be brought about. No government policy can bring about such a change. 

A country is only as good as its people. However good/far sighted the government may be, if the people are not on the same page, it will not work. The problem can only be solved if a large section of people can keep the greater good ahead of their own interests. It has happened before in India - during the freedom struggle. Our country needs another such revolution. Only this time the enemy would be within. If and when a leader emerges who can make people keep the larger interests above their personal interests, such a leader can bring about the change that we are all looking for.
