Dear readers

India is a country of diversity. Yes, indeed, so diverse are we that every policy of ours reflects this confused state of affairs. No unified civil code, no single national language, no single conservation policy, no integrated education syllabus, so on and so forth—the tenet of Indianism lost in the folds of federalism and regionalism. Moreover, every department in the governmental system pulls in diverse directions. So a crisscross of multipurpose agenda, solves one issue on one hand and gives rise to thousands more on the other, much like the fabled demon Raktabija whose every spilled drop of blood gave rise to millions of tiny Raktabijas—the ultimate ‘germ’ plasm.

The need is clear—development centric, unified policies. It is ironic that policy makers who continue to work on colonial premises, are opposed to their language becoming India’s official tongue. English does have the potential to bind the country - it is the most viable option! With the language in place, school curriculum can be cohesively devised, leaving no scope for individualism at any level, for sects, religions or outfits—such profiles falling in the personal domain. The Indianism orientation of the new generation can create a unified country with ‘one for all and all for one’ policies.

Happy reading.
