Some famous Queen supposedly said, "After me, the deluge." She thought she was the centre of the universe, I suppose.
But there are many journalists/columnists who sing the same song. As in..
If we don't privatise,...
If we don't cut interest rates,...
If we don't devalue the currency,..
If we don't de-regulate power, ...
If we open up the country to retail giants like...
If we give reservations to X, Y, Z, community/caste...
If NGOs are allowed to get unlimited foreign funds,..
If we don't catch the murderer of X,...
Most of these pieces, about 1000-word long, argue very persuasively that the world is about to end. Even if a couple of nuclear bombs were to be used by a lunatic, the world is unlikely to end anytime soon. The Chinese and Indians alone will ensure that humans as a race will suvive even if depleted marginally. Therefore, there's no cause for worry. But if I don't end this post here,....
