obama and ambedkar

Befor sitting on judgement on Obama and speculating about his future actions, It is better if we read his immensely readable memoirs-"Dreams from my father'(1996, reissued in 2004) and a beautiful volume of well thought essays-The audacity of hope'(2007) to get a fair idea of the new president elect of USA and how he has travelled so far-we would get a lesson for our great but still immature democracy and perhaps these two introspective books ( need to be translated in Indian languages to reach the masses) would propel our young generation ( about 300 million young voters) to change the face of Indian politics-India is destined to become a great and mature democracy if we are all optimistic and continue to inspire our youngsters to emulate Obama-irrespective of our differences with USA-what has won there is the spirit of democracy-Babasaheb Ambedkar ( and many others who worshipped democracy) would have been proud of Obama's election, if he were to be alive today...India salutes the spirit of American democracy on this day
