Truly talented one is ever impartial in every field of life. If he belongs to any class or party, he should be, at least, broad-minded even to the opponent. We must have acid tests of such a statement before we accept one as exemplary and ideal who should lead our society. Here, on one side we find Dr. Manmohan Singh, our Prime Minister, and on the other, Shri Sourav Gangopadhya, one of the outstanding Cricket Captains of India.

Dr. Singh, as we all know, one of the greatest economists of the world today. He could be awarded Nobel Prize on Economics this year. However, apart from that identity, he seems to be a great leader. We have long been watching his behaviour with Buddhadev Bhattachrya and Mamata Bondyopadhya who often meet him to seek solutions to their problems.

He is so loyal to Indian Constitution that there is no hesitation from his part to render any help to Buddhadev of CPM, Chief Minister of West Bengal. Again, he attaches great importance to the words of Mamata of Trinamool Congress, our Railway Minister. Although Dr. Singh stands as a great leader of Congress, he is never confused dealing with both of them. He remains ever impartial with other MPs who approach him for cooperation in their respective states. This is, no doubt, a rare quality we yearn to have from a politician who is likely to look after his party’s interest. Here stands Dr. Singh, by all means, truly exception and highly sagacious.

Now what we find in our beloved Sourav? As per an article of Aninday Jana in Ananda Bazar Patrika, published in the Editorial page last Sunday, the October 25, 2009, it makes us happy to go through the post mortem of Saurav’s outstanding explanations where he stands as an exemplary character, a matchless Bengali.

In a short speech Sourav said, “I was an ardent fan of Buddhadev Bhattachrya. I am and will remain. “Uni/she (refers to Mamata Banerjee. By name she could be addressed and honoured) personally invited me to join the celebration in laying the foundation stone of Satyajit Roy Stadium and I was present there.

Anybody, whoever he or she may be, requests me to such an assembly for the development of games and sports, I will be there.” After a little silence Sourav boldly established, “What I could think earlier, Buddhababu is the best possible Chief Minister Bengal could ever have had. So I do think still today. Nobody should feel messy, please.” Aninday puts great emphasis on this last sentence and explains elaborately Sourav's worthiness.

I am an engineer, a philosopher but basically a philanthropist; belong to no party rigorously as my political identity. Again, is it wise to expose our involvement on such an occasion? Keeping harmony as a rule is anticipated from a great leader. Whoever comes in the fore his or her words of good intentions gradually gets restrained and everything appears all the same amidst corruption, injustice and chaotic in the administration. So after two terms, change of power in the Assemblies and Parliament is very essential to distribute the fruits of better administration unconfined to common people. Leave it; it’s a point of debate.

After only eight years of Buss administration, a large number of people of America couldn't but dream of a radical change and as a result, irrespective of colour and white, President Obama, the brilliant Democrat, is in his position. Similarly, a large number of voters in West Bengal being utterly disappointed thought seriously of a change to turn down 32 years of CPM administration in W.B. Are we supposed to accept that except Sourav most of all the distinguished are living in fool’s paradise?

However, I pray to God, let Sourav remain ever loyal to Buddhababu. As Karna of Mahabharata he must stand boldly to propagate the sermon of Buddhababu. But the only problem that sets us thinking is the email of Sourav which went against Jogmohan Dalmia and he was largely in the lurch. He was shocked and uttered softly, “As time changes, loyalty does. This is nothing new in this world.”

Do we find anything as such in Dr. Manmohan Singh?
