Everyone's talking about Barack Obama, and how he's the biggest thing to happen to world politics since Lalu Yadav (fine, that's just us). But when will change come to India? And who will bring that change to us?

Who do you think can be India's Obama?

There's no OBAMA here, we have Lalu , Mulayam and "BHENJI", be happy with this and dont expect a change

Oh yeah Rahul Gandhi the one, yeah RAHUL GANDHI!!! for PM!!!!

Interesting thread. Given how young and dynamic ( the two distinct qualities of Obama) our current crop of politicians are , I wonder if we have an answer to the question. The closest I guess are Omar Abdullah or Rahul Gandhi - purely because of their age, media-friendly status, ideals, education,different outlook and ability to attract young people. The former has faced a turbulent time at the helm but is coping while the latter has a long way to go before he stakes claim to be the country's leader. Nevertheless, this just proves the lack of young and determined politicians in a nation which has atleast half its population under 35.
