The year 2009 for the Indian Sub-Continent--a year to remember

Its been a year worth remembering for the world. The global economic downturn in the west effecting the whole world. But for the Indian Sub-continent its more than the economic saga. Its been a year of paradigm shift in political nature of the peninsula. While India prepared itself for the great democratic exercise-The General Elections 2009, the counterpart Pakistan's democracy was tumbling. The hostile advent of Taliban into the SWAT valley of Pakistan was spelling doom to the existence of the nation of pakistan. A nation fighting for the survival of democracy since its inception in 1947. Sri Lanka was planning a major offensive on the 26 year old LTTE movement. The same LTTE which assasinated Former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi 17 years ago. As the Congress party emerged victorious like never before since Rajiv's death. The end of LTTE and Prabhakaran was followed by the emergence of a new Congress under Rajiv's son Rahul Gandhi. The death anniversary of Rajiv Gandhi is befitting with the timing of the assasination of his assasin Prabahakaran. And the day after that on the 22nd, the formation of a new government of post Rajiv Congress would take place. In a nut shell, this year would be written in golden letters in the history of the Indian Sub-Continent.
