    There’s a special sort of beauty to the road that India had to independence. Being mostly peaceful, and securing a democratic constitution for one of the largest nations on earth.

    If the people of India can maintain their democratic institutions, they may perhaps surpass the US as the most influential free nation on the planet during the 21st century.
