Of heroes and politicians

Not all political leaders seek to project themselves as heroes worthy of the name.

The perennial quest of heroes is the root of the problems and romances of people everywhere. This concept has struck me at this moment of history, when we are voluntarily searching for heroes or are condemned to choose them. These are two different states of conscience and karma. We need to browse through shastras and historians’ gafgaaf to determine who the heroes are in history and what makes them heroes. We are credulous in such matters because we too are craving to find some materials to read or talk about heroes.
