Oh My India... Where is thy Sting !!!

This post comes up when our country is going through one of the turbulent phases in the recent time. Before you jump to conclusions, let me tell you I am talking of the turbulence within and 'not from outside'. For outside threats, our Army always is at disposal. The turbulence and danger from our own politicians, who are as sick as a rot and have left virtually no example for words like filthy, gibberish, fanatics, etc.

While our country is facing the drought, thousands of crores are being spent on Statues (just for the sake that coming generations would know what they have been upto and demanding an additional lumpsum for fighting the Drought conditions. There needs to be a new definition for "stooping so low' proverb now.

Our Politicians are caught on camera slapping, abusing, calling names and what not. Browse the archives of UP assembly, there won't be a single day when any session passed off peacefully. The recent J&K Assembly incident adds to this list apart from other State Assemblies already in this roll of shame. To many this would seem, another opposition-government antic, but it surely is more than that.

On the other hand, Our Secretary Level talks with our neighbours have remained nothing but a game of Alphonse and Gaston. It is a shame for us that we squandered the lead ans support we gained after terror attacks at Sharm-al-sheikh. Our esteemed and well-versed in affairs Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon thus had to leave on a very dry note.
