The View from Abroad: The new earth, the new man

My grandfather a retired Indian Supreme Court Justice turned 98 last month. Even in his advanced age he continues to give political opinions. Today in the Hindu, one of India’s most respected English-language dailies he has articulated his views on the leadership crisis in today’s India where corruption and rampant, unchecked capitalism has taken hold thanks to the nature of the flawed political class.  I don’t agree with everything my Grandfather has written but do believe India is currently in crisis which will determine whether the world’s largest secular democracy tenuously hangs on to life.
