The article, “Babuji, my guide” (October 2), was a moving tribute to Lal Bahadur Shastri. Babuji’s concern for the welfare of people, especially the rural masses, was evident in the write-up. The writer’s references to how Babuji wanted to improvise rural industrialisation, find a lasting solution for the agrarian crisis and unemployment problems, and have an efficient administration in place were revealing. Finally, his explanation of wanting to be evergreen grass is a cue to our youth and politicians on the need for selfless service.
