All this hullabaloo over the Delhi Archbishop's letter is rather unfortunate. Is there a need for creating such a big controversy on something so innocuous? I had to read the letter a few times to find out what was wrong in it, couldn't find anything. It's just a general advisory asking the faithful to pray for a better Nation, that's all. Something so routine you begin to wonder what this fuss is all about. The Archbishop has not pointed fingers at any political party nor has he anywhere said that Political Party A is better than B or B is better than C. Those who are pouncing on it need to be a lot more considerate. Such general advisory letters are released quite routinely by so many religious institutions. Why dissect every sentence and every word to give a different meaning than that meant? We all know that politics in India is a not-so-clean game. So asking the faithful to pray for a cleaner political environment, across the political spectrum, is nothing wrong. Read the letter with positive spirit and you will find a good message in it. India will grow better as a Nation with more positivity.
