Three thoughts for the Republic

On putting people first; on fixing drains; and on expanding geopolitical horizons

This is an archived blog post from The Acorn.

For reflection on Republic Day—why territory is not a big deal; why fixing drains will help counter terrorism and on the need to see beyond the subcontinent.

Also, don’t miss the brilliant editorial at Mint—that points out that “while we have protected the process of democracy, we have deeply violated its spirit.”
