More demagoguery, which is probably what you're after. Nice images of burning fires and a full seven days. It reminds me of The Life of Brian

"And behold, a nine bladed sword. Not two, nor five, nor seven, but nine! Which he will wield on all wretched city-sinners like you sir, there!"
Actually, as far as I recollect, it did burn for a full seven days. The library complex was huge.
The definition of modernity I am using is, of course, a Western one, but that is inevitable given our circumstances. Alternatives can, however, be developed, and that is the crying need of the day – to provide whatever gifts the West has given an Indian context, to make them suitable to our civilisational ideals.

"Tomorrow belongs, tomorrow belongs, tomorrow belongs to me!"

Maybe I will, maybe I will
