“One Person who can Change the World is YOU!” – Professor M.S.Rao










“Be the change that you want to see in the world.” - Mahatma Gandhi


People often express their apprehensions that one person cannot do anything. Numerically it appears to be accurate but in reality, it is the one person who can change the society and the world.

One person who pioneered India’s independence based on truth and non-violence was Mahatma Gandhi. One person whose dream of one society without any color discrimination was Martin Luther King Jr. One person who was in jail for almost three decades to end apartheid in South Africa was Nelson Mandela. One person who dedicated entire life for leper and stood out as mother of compassion in the world was Mother Teresa. These leaders began as one person. Over a period of time, they set their vision, build their teams, and worked hard to bring the change. They changed the course of history and excelled as legends globally.

In India, when BJP was on a losing spree, Narendra Modi came forward and aggressively toured and grew as a strong leader within the BJP. He showed the world that a tea seller can become Prime Minister of India. In the recent Delhi elections, Arvind Kejriwal started Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and persuaded the voters and won the elections with spectacular performance outsmarting Modi who is a Goliath. Therefore, history shows that there are number of people who started small with a great vision and worked with passion and persuaded their people and changed the course of history. Once it is possible for them, it is possible for you as well. Remember, one person who can change the world is YOU!


“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” - Nelson Mandela

“Arvind Kejriwal and his Aam Aadami Party’s Success in Delhi Elections and Leadership Lessons for Indian Democracy” – Professor M.S.Rao












“The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart.” - Mahatma Gandhi


Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadami Party’s (AAP) stupendous success shows the might of Indian democracy to the world.  It was like a David (Kejriwal) taking on the mighty Goliath (Modi). This spectacular verdict is totally unexpected by many people even by political pundits as nobody could gauge the mood of the people exactly. The exit polls showed the win of AAP but even they could not predict landslide win for Kejriwal. It is obvious that voters cannot be taken for granted. Delhi voters have rejected both caste and religion politics which is a sign of strength for democracy in India. This poll outcome shows that it is not the elite will get elected but also common man will get elected and occupy the office. It also shows that it is not only the tea seller but also bureaucrats with a clean image can occupy the chair if they pursue their causes sincerely and seriously. Here are some of the reasons for success of AAP and leadership lessons for other political parties.

Kejriwal was a simple and humble man. He set an example by walking his talk.  He apologized Delhi voters as he resigned as Chief Minister due to lack of clear mandate when he became Chief Minister in the previous elections. It persuaded voters to give a clear mandate. When Kiran Bedi who was his colleague crusaded against corruption along with Anna Hazare became his political opponent, he did not badmouth like other politicians. He commented that Kiran Bedi was a nice person who will be made scapegoat by BJP later which proved to be correct. It showed Kejriwal’s great character to praise his opponent. It was unfortunate that he was not invited during Barack Obama’s visit for Republic Day Parade 2015.

Kejriwal didn’t give up when the media mood was against him. He persisted with a lot of patience to keep his cadre together and his vision intact. Some of the senior leaders who were opportunists resigned AAP before the elections and indulged in mud-slinging. He maintained cool and calm posture without badmouthing. A lot of money was thrown into the elections to defeat Kejriwal but ultimately people voted Kejriwal which indicates that people don’t bow down to money and muscle power.  Since Kejriwal was simple, humble and practical man, the Delhi voters pinned a lot of faith in his leadership. It is a great burden for Kejriwal to live up to their expectations. Throughout his political career he kept his passion and vision intact despite being under threat. He reached to common man and was highly accessible. It all paid off at the end.

Kejriwal must focus on Delhi politics first to establish gradually across India. If he continues in this way, he can become third alternative in Indian politics as presently there is political vacuum for third alternative in India. It is a great opportunity for Kejriwal to have vision to spread his wings in future nationally.

BJP must check its arrogance to stay relevant. It must stop talking about religious conversions and must stand by secularism to keep India united as a great nation. Congress must reinvent immediately to avoid getting into oblivion. It must overcome elitist outlook and must listen to the pulse of the people rather than banking on caste and minority vote bank politics. The world is changing rapidly and India is also changing rapidly. Therefore, both BJP and Congress must evolve accordingly because the leadership tools and techniques that were successful for them in the past may not be successful in future. In the long run, two or three party system is ideal for national politics in India and to keep democracy vibrant.

To summarize, the Delhi elections demonstrated that Indian democracy is very strong. It is the voter and common man who will decide the fate of the political leaders. There is no room for money and muscle power, and caste and religion politics. It appears that Indian democracy and India is going in the right direction. We all Indians must strive hard to keep democracy intact where people of all religions, regions, languages, faiths, castes, and communities live together with fraternity and brotherhood. Jai Hind!


“The test of a democracy is not the magnificence of buildings or the speed of automobiles or the efficiency of air transportation, but rather the care given to the welfare of all the people.” - Helen Adams Keller, lecturer and author

“India of my Dreams” – Professor M.S.Rao







“The future belongs to those who believe in their dreams.” - Eleanor Roosevelt


As every individual dreams of his/her own future every citizen dreams of his/her own nation. Similarly, I have dreams of my India. I want India to be one of the finest nations in the world with peace, prosperity and stability. I want India to be a global leader to gel with other nations and collaborate for universal brotherhood and fraternity. Here are some of the challenges we must address to take India to great heights globally.

Presently there is a wide gap between the rich and poor that must be bridged. A study shows that India has more number of billionaires. There is disproportionate distribution of wealth in India. It shows that India is rich but Indians are poor. More people from rural areas are migrating to urban areas for better opportunities. Hence, proper infrastructure needs to be created. Bringing reforms in infrastructure helps immensely to accelerate developmental activities. There is a need to build homes for the homeless. Corruption has become a cancer to Indian society. Hence, there is a need to bring appropriate viable legislations to check corruption.

We are rich in human resources and natural resources. We are unable to exploit our natural resources. A small country like Singapore grew without natural resources. Why cannot India grow despite being blessed with natural resources? Additionally, we have human resources especially more number of young population which is a demographic dividend for India. We must tap this precious young population and channel their energies for nation building.  A study shows that there is unemployability problem in India arising out of defective education. The present education system emphasizes on theory, not practical education. It encourages reading, writing and reproducing. It must be addressed earnestly to create skilled workforce for better productivity and performance.   

There is an urgent need to revolutionize agriculture. Make industry agrarian oriented, not the other way round.  Ensure that all Indians become literate and employed. They must live in peace and prosperity everywhere. It is said that next to God is neighbor. Hence, we must emphasize on good neighborly relations to enable us to focus on development.

We have lots of advantages. For instance, we survived global recession because of our inherent system. India is a nation where people all faiths live together. Diversity is the bedrock of India. Therefore, it is essential to strive for secularism to ensure unity and integrity of India. There must be tolerance and respect for all cultures, castes, communities, religions and regions.

I am proud to say that I belong to the country of Mahatma Gandhi which taught the world by achieving independence through non-violence. I belong to the country of Swami Vivekananda who pioneered Indian spiritualism and bridged the gap between the east and the west. I belong to the nation of Mother Teresa who served the poor and leper and revered as mother of compassion globally. Compassion and tolerance are the essence of Indian values and principles.

To conclude, it is essential to inculcate patriotism and nationalism among Indians apart from imparting attitude and enhancing commitment levels. There must be shift in the mindset of people from being rights-oriented to duty-oriented. We must be proud of being Indians first and Indians last to make India as a super power in the world. Jai Hind!

“We grow by dreams.  All big individuals are dreamers.  They see things in the soft haze of a spring day, or in the red fire on a long winter’s evening.  Some of us let those great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nourish them through bad days until they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.” – Woodrow Wilson
