LETTER TO THE EDITOR

THE LAST WORDS that Indian Minister Anand Sharma spoke on NDTV's India panel meet, at Davos, projected India to be bringing up its society within next decade to alleviate poverty, spread education, provide job opportunities, and raise India's voice in the portals of developed world.

I could not help recalling how much Anand Sharma's vision for India was different from the universalism of an ordinary man of desert, that sent out the his last message from the mount ---- not for his clan, not for his tribe, not for his race, not for his country, but the entire world at large.

In 14 centuries that visionary’s dream, by the grace of Allah, has touched the lives of billions around the globe. I wish Anand Sharma; breaking mental bondage of his surroundings could have dreamed and spoken a world inclusive role for India, to usher in an economic and welfare era, different from that of the West and the East ideals.
