We all dream of social and economic justice to prevail. Right now, as raindrops fall on the ground and hit the windows of my room, the television shows me only two things. Santosh Singh given the death penalty and the Sensex has touched 13k. Ladies and Gentlemen, on 30 october, 2006 history has been created. India has witnessed something never seen before.
A soul rests in peace and many rejoice as thier earning multiply. There is something special about this Monday.A citizen belonging to any country dreams only of economic and social justice. India showed to the world that it was indeed developing and its development was not restricted to the economic sphere. The economy is indeed booming but new waves are hitting the society. Today, a hope has been created. A hope that justice would be sought, a hope that living conditions would change, hope that things will surely change. So, a is this a new beginning? I am not sure whether this would be a one-time phenomenon but can say there would be none of those abbreviation jokes that I cracked as a kid. I still remember asking this question to literally everyone as a little girl, " What is the ful form of India?". If they did not get the answer, then gleefuly replying," It Never Develops In Anything!" Today, as a 18 year old, adult citizen, this joke is passe and need not be applied anymore. (Thankfully! I do not have to pass on this joke to the next generation). India has faced inequalities for so many ages, this is going to be indeed a fresh start. As I have to hit the books, I shall end this article abruptly, quoting lines from Robert Frost's poem. "And miles to go before I sleep!"
