Why do you need leader(s)? Can’t we function on an individual basis? How does leadership differ at political level? Where does the solution lie for political apathy? These are questions. And I don’t have the answers. At least, I thought so. Firstly, whenever the question of assuming a leader and then following him/her comes up, we sense a sigh of relief, for various reasons. The biggest reason could be the anointment of a person who could be charged responsible; if at all something goes wrong. I know that sounds a bit cynical but let’s take a chance with cynicism for a change. See, we humans are just like any another animal in groups. In other words, we are a herd and we require steering. And that’s exactly where a leader comes in. S/He makes sure the herd is given direction and we are not talking about right or wrong or lame direction here. We are just getting into the mindset of how one accepts another human being as a leader. It could be plain stupidity on the hoi polloi’s side or superior intellect on the leader’s side, sometimes parlayed by the leader’s cronies.
