Interesting to see that our politicians have suddenly realised that
there is "hidden" talent in the slums. I wonder who "hid" them. I hope
they realise at least now that there are millions of "hidden" talents in
our villages. The slums themselves would not have come up if this
realisation had come earlier, if there had been a more equitable
"development". Would they realise this now? I wonder! Sixty years after
independence the country has not even been able to implement universal
primary education that was promised in the Constitution of the country.
