"For revolutionists there is no rest but in the tomb" said Saint Just - military and political leader during French revolution.
Said to be idealist, but also known as "Angel of death", he was the only person unruffled during their execution at the end of reign of terror.
No, there is not much comparison between him and Kejriwal except for the fact that both are rebels and fight for the good of their men. But there are many similarities between current situation and French revolution. Inflation, poverty, incompetent and indecisive ruler and angry people.
Don't know how this revolution will end? Or will it start at all? With our cautious attitude and chalta hai attitude?
Offline point : I came to know about this Saint Just by Albert Camus' book "The Rebel". Strangely interesting book. Collection of essays about different types of rebels. currently reading about regicide.
