I think the same can be said about every generation. People living in the era of the 2 world wars saw the likes of Lenin and Gandhi and Nehru and Stalin and Roosevelt and Churchill and Hitler. The generation before had Marx and Garibaldi and Mazzini.If you think about it we are one of the luckiest people in history for being alive at the same time when some of the worlds greatest leaders are also alive -Xi Xinping , Narendra Modi, Erdogan, Putin. These leaders will be remembered in history for giving a new life and new prominence to their respective countries, duniya me Danka baj rha being their greatest contribution.
what's more fascinating is that All of them are trying to surpass the legacies of their countries' biggest leaders - Nehru , Mao, Stalin, Ataturk- and at the same time also forging New India , New Turkey , New Russia , New China.
At the same time, a generalization to the effect of being luckiest in the history is an overstatement. I am sure people in the war torn Yemen and Ethiopia and Afghanistan don't feel the same.
