3. Congratulations, America! This outcome means so much to people around the world! A newspaper in Mumbai featured an interview with a self-made Dalit (untouchable caste) doctor, with the headline, “We too can have a Dalit prime minister”.

4. Yes, absolutely. We can have Dalit PMs, Presidents or even Dalit Secretary Generals of UN.. Nobody is stopping them from being one. Its they who r their own challenge, and their wrong idea that Reservation can help them reach the top positions. This is making them less competitve and putting in their full efforts for aiming for these top positions.
   While reservations give only the initial push/platform for them, for top positions like PMs Presidents etc, pure potential and intellect are needed. Let them display that and it is all theirs. Moreover I think KR Narayanan who was former president was a dalit too, who successfully completed his term… and no one stopped him from being that!
   Coming to Obama he became the President by the virtue of his learning, ability to lead a big country like USA. Not just be pity that he is a black. I think this sympathy etc work only in India, even to this day!

13. Good to see you back.

    As we here in India rejoice in his victory.Simultaneously we accomplished a great task of defeating the face of terror in Mumbai.
    Hope to see both the nation grow and move ahead in positive direction irrespective of the division of caste, creed and race created by few morons.

20. now,how about the rest of the world getting some different leaders?

    Comment by Dennis — December 25, 2008 @ 9:04 pm

21. Yes we need new and young leaders, but to the pity we have the family league going on in indian democracy called demorchy, only the son/ daughter of a leader can become a leader, that is the reason US is land of opportunities and India the land of tangled relation’s.
