Imagine forming a mutual admiration society and economic block with China, not being at odds with Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and yes, being at peace with Pakistan.
Think about it and we see a contiguous and prosperous zone of 2.5 billion people.
Look around us and we see that richness is a corollary of peace and harmony. Be it richness of the soul, the mind and the body.
Because ’coming together’ in the principle on which the universe is built.
Energy (even the physicists do not know what energy is ‘made of’) of which everything in the universe is a manifestation, is in its essence, a concert.
Is it then worth then, as a nation, treating the finding of lasting solutions to our conflicts, within and without,as our largest most important economic project.
Perhaps the famed drive of the Indian entrepreneurial spirit is the boost our political and bureaucratic classes need to get-on with this vital task of nation-building.
Are the captains of industry, the corporate honchos, the media moguls and the opinion-builders listening?
They will when they realize it is key to not just fulfilling big ambitions but,in the long term, surviving.
Otherwise the rich will continue to co-mingle without us.
