Suhana aka Ragini Khanna

What is the most shocking news you have come across in recent times?
There has been no shocking news as bomb blasts and scams are daily news now. They don't shock. It would be shocking to know all is well in our country.

Which civic issue needs immediate attention?
All of them. Roads, taxes, health, child labour, senior citizen's welfare, education, employment.

Which current political leader has the charisma to lead India in the future?
Milind Deora, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi hold promise.

What do you feel regarding the under development of our country?
I feel sad. Look at Japan which was hit by a Tsunami & earth quakes yet is now back on its feet. Imagine if God forbid anything like that would ever happen in India, I don't know how long it would take us to recover. After blasts they hail spirit of Mumbai but it is necessity of common man as they have to feed their family so they have to go to work.

Where would you ideally like to see India in the next 10 years?
Don't know, can't imagine but I hope it's better and improving. We should be alert as we have lot of money in our country and need to use it well.

Do you think it's achievable given the current state of affairs?
Root cause of all is lack of education. We need to change our behavioural pattern and work towards it.

Do you think the current generation is taking Independence for granted?
No. The youth is aware and alert. It believes in our country and works for the betterment of it.

What would be the one advice you would like to give the politicians of our country?
I am too young to advice them.
