I have always loved Egypt and i will always love it. Egypt to me means a nation with superb mythology, great pyramids, great history and great culture.Pyramids are almost 5000 years old and are more gigantic man made structure than any structure produced by any other Neolithic or Chalcolithic civilization. Egypt was known as bread basked for Roman empire and the mighty Julius Caesar and Mark Antonius used to pay their obedience to the sheer beauty of sensuous Cleopatra. The Pharaohs were so great that they even forced Moses to part the Red sea. Every conqueror in the history of mankind had tried to conquer Egypt (and almost all were able to conquer it)) and that list is tectonically impressive with people like Alexander, Julius Caesar, Saladin, Ottomans, Napoleon, Britishers, Hitler and others. The pride of all conquering Mongols were broken by Egyptians only.
Alexandria was the capital of human intellect and its library was the saturated solution of human civilization. Almost all the major empires of world enriched Egypt and also got enriched by it. The golden period of Indian commerce, from the days of Hellenistic kingdoms to the onslaught of Europeans depended very much on the ports of Egypt on Mediterranean and Red seas.
The situation has changed a lot in few decades and once again Egypt is attracting attention of entire world in their struggle for "Independence" and "Prosperity". Nothing is more worth than fighting for a just cause and all Revolutionaries have a duty and a moral obligation to make sure that their revolution is not hijacked by opportunists. I am praying for well being of common Egyptian on one hand while at the same time i wish this revolution should not result in further restriction on freedom or anarchy. Mr. Hosni Mubarak should step down and should propose a framework for the orderly transfer of power to the people. Revolutionaries should have patience of Mahatma Gandhi and courage of Che Guevara. Some times its better to retreat and wait than to become fodder for the anarchists and counter revolutionaries. Let Truth and Freedom prevail. Amen
