The games have ended, and the world's athletes and media have admitted, sometimes grudgingly, that this was a spectacular example of the great Indian wedding... chaos in the run-up, but it all comes together beautifully in the end. The CWG was a turning point for India's social psyche, coming closely on the heels of the Ayodhya verdict - two events that clearly heralded the emergence of new Indian thinking - intolerance of politics of division in the name of religion, and a belief in ourselves and our ability to conquer new frontiers.
This is also a golden opportunity for the country to undergo another long overdue makeover and grow an intense aversion and intolerance to corruption. The PM has already ordered an all-encompassing investigation into the money laundering and kickbacks, led by the CAG with all agencies from the CBI to the ED working together in tandem. Here's hoping that all muck will be cleared in a transparent and just fashion under our legal frameworks, and that the Indian common man will also deliver his own punishment to the guilty at the next hustings.
