India needs a maximum leader to reign over the world, beginning with next decade, of this century and to the next one. American influence over the World and Chinese aggression would wane under the weight of Indian leadership & creativity. India always stood for peace and global peace would be the weapon in the arsenals of India to gain moral high ground and at the same time use as the stick to offer liberal corporal punishment to the current so called Global leaders for wasting common Global, precious resources of mankind in wasteful and inimical expenses that actually ruined sustainable peace & security. India needs to put its own house in order in this decade to grab the opportunity of Global Leadership in the next decade. India lost approximately 2190 opportunity in last sixty plus years (if one day were considered as one opportunity) to come good on freedom, democracy and development. Again, recently India with hundred twenty crore population lost to South Korea with population of five crore in the race for UN Secretary General. Indian students were brutally killed in Australia, diplomats & dignitaries humiliated in USA and Indian fishermen fired upon in its territorial water by Sri Lanka. What more example of a Nation on drift should we witness in our life time? A Nation was betrayed by its Leaders in Govt., Opposition and also in Bureaucracy; otherwise, much earlier this country would have been a financial super power much like China and Singapore, today. Let’s not waste time over split milk. What we need the most; a maximum leader who could bring Govt., Opposition and Bureaucracy in the same page at a given point in time Fortunately, Rahul Gandhi is emerging as the Maximum Leader of the country and he has apparently made up his mind to assert himself; which is a good sign for his party and also for the country. Rahul Gandhi posses all the six qualities of a good ruler as defined by Kautilya (Chanakya) in his treaties “Arthasastra”. Rahul Gandhi hails from the family which has given three Prime Minister and two of them laid down their life for the country and second most influential leader of his party “The Indian National Congress”, arguably the biggest party spread evenly in the country. And, he has the largest following among youth. Again, Gandhi Jr. has assiduously followed a simple strategy ground-up in youth congress and took pain to forge a social coalition among Dalit, Farmers and Minorities, just like a shrewd politician and at the same time open to new Ideas. Perhaps, Rahul believes in the marriage in the Political thoughts of Chanayaka & Gandhi; and therefore his Padayatra from Bhatta Parsule to Alighar spanning over 350 K.M attracted not only million eyeballs but a billion plus hearts by reaching out to ordinary people on an important issue of Land Acquisition for farmers in UP. Rahul Gandhi no doubt possesses charisma of (his own and his clan) of a Maximum Leader; a lakh plus crowd were vying for a glimpse of him at Bhubaneswar public meeting which is seen to be believed. The other aspect of maximum Leadership being the tallest leader in the entire political spectrum; Rahulji is slowly but steadily moving there among the emerging leaders in the country. His much talked about statement at Bhubaneswar terror attack was of a bold leader who does not shy away from talking about a bad news or an inconvenient truth. Rahul as the maximum leader of the country ideally should put his vision for the county to the young people in university and college campuses and inspire them to think about the problems of the country, apparent solutions, on innovation and their wishes for the country .This is important as all new ideas are going to come from the fresh minds of young people. Further, he has to impress upon his party led Govt. to leverage Cities for economic growth, fix the structural problems in agriculture and bring about a paradigm shift in infrastructure sector to put the last three years to good use.
