However, the ambition of creating a Greater India has some chance of success by forming a federation of like-minded nations, a Bharat Mahasangh.

Nearly 1.3 crore cases beyond five years in files are pending in the courts and yet no remedy is in the sight. For me, paramount need of a citizen in a country is to live in condition with safety and justice. Even safety is dependent on the system of equity and justice in the society. Law of jungle is to force the brute power on less powerful without regard to right or wrong. Any civilized society ensures fair transactions of behaviour.
