We have a saying in our havyaka dialect - ಬೆಕ್ಕಿಗೆ ಮಕ್ಕಗೆ ಕಲಿಸ್ದಂಗೆ - the rough meaning is children and cats will be how we train them. I think this holds good for not only children and feline friends but to most of us. For what are we all, but children in our heart.
If someone says ಹೊಡಿ ಬಡಿ ಕಡಿ we repeat after them taking our sharpest machu and knifes. If someone else says love one and love all , we go for candle march with our hankies and jadu ki jhappi ready. So if we get a good leader like Gandhiji, we become ahimsavadis and defeat strongest of enemies with our good will. And if we get a leader like Hitler or some of our contemporary Indian leaders (no names!!), we mercilessly butcher people and commit genocide without a tiny bit of remorse.
So dear fellow citizens, select leaders wisely, because they can make our country one of the best in the world or they can turn us into monsters killing each other.
Well, these are the feelings I had after watching bits and pieces of today's Satyameva Jayate
