India, a country whose size, history and present aspirations, the world views with awe and admiration, stands at a genuine cross-road. It is a country where the struggle between the best and the worst of mankind, is in full swing. With immense potential and danger hovering over this billion-strong country, India is truly a playing field of paradoxes. Many paradoxes, the sublime and the base, the modern and the traditional, the unifying and the dividing, the efficient and disorderly, continuously mould the Indian scene - from the Indian society to its politics and from its state institutions to its economy. A living rapacious tension engulfs today's India. While its economic managers push forward a suitably contemporary agenda, its politics supports major players dedicated to deadly agendas of settling old scores.
India easily qualifies as the global showroom of the challenges and the pitfalls that confront our present civilization. Domestic India underscores the limits of yesterday's politics and the potential of contemporary technology and technocracy. Above all it points to the major stumbling block to contemporary human peace and prosperity-the poverty of socio-political concepts and practices that can contribute to social peace against the backdrop of proliferation of socially disruptive and divisive elements including light weapons, unemployment, enactment of historical and cultural revisionism, political fundamentalism, dehumanizing and destabilizing poverty.
