Wow!,that was a wonderful comparison Shruthi!
Initially I had thought you were about bring the similarity with Mahabharata but the present day example was more important .
Largely in the ancient days due to the knowledge and practice of dharma by one and all , it was democracy in monarchy where as now it's the reverse due to the lack of dharma !
Right from common man up to any body up in the hirarchey its the absence of dharma that plays the effect . Starting from voting the representative there seems a problem .
Though it seems like we come upon the same solution for all or several troubles , it's time and agAin the impartation of right knowledge from the beginning that seems to be the problem .
Well, yes your experience with railways has been very good one to hear . It seems like they are doing a good job for sure which gets another authentication ( other than those read in Twitter etc)after hearing you experience ! Hope there is a change in the real sense coming up !
There does seem like the change for good is in the corner , which until a few years back seemed like a utopian dream !
There seems a lot of change in the way people respond to the various issues through social media etc and as such the dependence on the main news dailys that take sides for certain groups have lessend .
Well , getting back to roots - Ramayana read with the view of understanding the real essence of it rather than just the external show is the answer to a lot of problems of the world today !
Hence these days. It seems like Bharat becoming Vishwaguru as envisaged by Swami Vivekanand seems a possibility!
