How long will the Savitri Erans act in the manner of an ostrich?

[India to overtake United States by 2050: Goldman Sachs Report
Dinesh Narayanan The Times of India> 24 Jan, 2007]
Such sensational front page stories surprise us no longer as the steady growth of affluence in the course of the last 20 years is so palpable. But equally obvious is the rise of individualism, indifference, irreverence, insensitivity, antagonism and exhibitionism. Are they related? If yes, how effectively can the Savitri Erans intervene in these areas?

The Mother despised politics, but she also went on to build a City for the future, a modern Polis. So there can’t be any respite from politics for the Savitri Erans. Same is the case with economics, commerce, technology issues, and international relations. Framing of public policies are taking place all the while. There is also the talk of rewriting the Indian Constitution. How long will the Savitri Erans act in the manner of an ostrich? [TNM]
