    So here’s what I beg of you: vote in person. But vote in spirit too: use your clout to demand better politicians, not pliant ones. Back babus who are administrators, not file facilitators. This isn’t your fault, but this is your future, our future. I know that you are angry, and baying for blood. So sorry for sermonising. But in your hour of need today, it is India that needs your help.

    True wordsBy: Darshan | 14-May-2009 Reply | Forward Brilliant article, and so true. Its time to wake up. The NY reference is well deserved. For people who wish to mock him for his thoughts, just try to accept blame once in a while and change yourself instead of trying to change everything around you.
    hmmBy: cynic | 17-Apr-2009 Reply | Forward lazy fool..stop passing the buck onto others and clean up your own mess. the easiest thing to do is to write an article where you say that others arnt doing enuf.
    Inspiring and sensibleBy: Gautam Sen | 13-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward Vinay, don't know why I didn't see this earlier. But this piece must surely be one of the most inspiring and sensible pieces to have emerged from the political tragedy that we have witnessed in the last few months in India. Thank you!
    You light my CandleBy: SitaDaGod | 10-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward Vinay is Da Gawd! The End.
    Dec. 5 article " To South Mumbai"By: Jiva Mody | 09-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward Mr. Sitapati, I read the reference to your article in the Sunday (Dec. 7) New York Times front page article by Ms. Somini Sengupta, and have shared it with my friends Mr. and Mrs. Milan Mehta among others. Mr. Harsh Taneja's comments below make some good points. By way of this article, you certainly have helped India, and one hopes the denizens of the syncretic India as well. No, sir, you are not pontificating nor sermonising unless they are synonyms for spelling out the facts. Thank you.
