Yesterday while surfing through net, I came across an interview of Infosys founder Mr. Narayanmurti in which he talked about his latest released book, his favorite politician and party and also about his ambitions. I was quite surprised to see that his book is just a collection of 36 of his previous speeches given at some point of time. I had an odd feeling that how that book could be of much relevance in the present scenario which is quite different than the context of those speeches.
Secondly, he talked about writing over the solutions to 10 basic problems in India... corruption, communalism, Indo-Pak issue and all. He also reiterated his previous ambition of entering into politics which has now subsided down. However, he hinted his wish of becoming President of India in the near future which raised quite a few doubts in my mind. First APJ Abdul Kalam and now Mr. Narayanmurti, why the hell people having such immense caliber and intelligence want to fight for the post of President. In the Indian context, the post of President is designed to be the shadow of the Central Cabinet and is totally powerless and worthless. Not only all the important decisions regarding internal matters but also in all the major International meets, Prime Minister only enjoys all the responsibility of representing India. It makes the President post a total waste of 5 important years for such brains. They could be used in the other fields of strategic planning and scientific research.
If these people sincerely wants to help India in its planning and decision making, they should enter into the politics at local level or national level. But the irony is that nobody wants to clean the mud, but enjoy the fruits.
I seriously urge Mr. Narayanmurti, that if he and other entrepreneurs and educated lot joins Indian politics, we could still see light at end of the tunnel. Otherwise, if not us, then our next generation could face such PM's which can only think of banning computers and setting up his/her statues as way of India's development.

so pessimist! try to think on the others perspective also, may be he don't want to get dirty but want to contribute for the nation different way. If you read the responsibilities of president of India, you find that there are may ways to control the decisions of cabinate. Also you can find some of them from history, and also on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_india
