Very true. Which is why I not only care for my belief in democratic principles, I also devote my time, energy and resources towards practising what I believe in. I'll certainly not be a party to letting democracy crumble by merely stating my belief and then hanging the hat. In any case, I do not wear any hat. No question of hanging it.
On a more pragmatic note, I take pains to cling to the time tested principle of being forthright and uncompromising in practising demopcratic principles and as far as practicable I try to take people along to practise and participate. I took part in the nationwide demonstration against corruption on 31st January, 2011 and will continue to participate whenever thought necessary.
