Egypt - Mubarak ho !
So, finally Egypt is free from its 23 years of dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak.
I envied people who lived in the era of Indian Independence. They say "Uski baat hee kuch alag thi. Mahaul hee alag tha". So, I always wanted to witness a freedom. Tunisia's independence was like a bubble bursting or I could not follow it. When South Africa got free, I was too young to appreciate freedom or democracy. Moreover, the image of free South Africa got hazed by the almost white cricket team. But, its difficult to ignore the turnaround democracy can bring. Another recent example is Bihar where people preferred progress over caste and Nitish Kumar continues as CM.
Its important to realize the power of democracy. Its important to realize that its people who do the turnaround. In Egypt's case, people on the streets got the freedom for their nation with almost peaceful processions. And now the cost they paid in the form of blood looks fruitful. Its awesome to witness the freedom of a country. It would be too early for critics to discuss on how the leaderless country will be able to implement democracy. For some time, just enjoy the freedom. "Mahaul rehne do"
Peace !!
