SHAME ON US

The political atmosphere is one of total anarchy. People are angry. Government has lost control of governance. Political parties are engrossed in the only they are capable of : high-pitched rhetoric, 'slamming' each other, in the most crass of ways. Educated politicians are abusing each other in debates that is being nationally televised.

While an elderly lady lies in coma, with a strong risk of quadriplegia, after being thrashed in the head and upper spine, by brute police excess over a peaceful democratic protest, the man who was leading the demonstration doesn't accept any responsibility, the truth being he was never in control the crowd.

Right Axis leaders are seeking political opportunism, making a sit-in- demonstration in Rajghat 'protesting against the murder of democracy that severely injured common people', and in the same demonstration elderly leaders are dancing (claiming it's their right to dance to patriotic songs) over Gandhiji's mausoleum with smiling faces, to claps by colleagues in nationalist vigour, and one cannot see an iota of 'mourning' and concern for whom they claim to protest -- Height of insensitivity*.

Ruling party leaders are criticizing this insensitivity in press conferences claiming that the 'dancers' have doubtful integrity of character -- Height of cheap populism*.

The man in the centre of the controversy that essentiated forceful externment by police force, is totally confused, has run out of ideas. He still hasn't decided what to do, never having shown showing any responsible foresight, yet he whipped a mass hysteria.

Tihar jail is Delhi is housing 15 top corporate bosses, ministers, bureaucrats, and money launderers -- this provides a perfect insight into India's democratic profile. Terrorists who should have lynched for attacking India and her parliament are being 'looked after' at a cost Rs.20 crores a month. Nobody knows when they shall be subjected to court's verdict.

Middle-class Indians (including many of you who are reading this mail) remain mysteriously silent. They continue to exhibit their disgusting apathy, and shall react only their spouses and children will be affected directly. Shameless cowards, they are the first in line to savour the 'fruits' that others are earning for them by strongly protesting against vested interests and corruption. Safely decorating their secure abodes with spouses and children. Amazing to see the ones who have not made a single sound in the last 2 months, despite so much of active dynamism all around. Sometimes I think these spineless cowards deserve nothing better than these politicians and bureaucrats only.
I guess these ever-compromising apathetic voices, scared to face the consequences of voicing opinions make the most shameful moral 'scam'.
All for today. Till the next episode of kicking your butts with more sarcasm. Do what you best. Eat, drink, defaecate, reproduce, and corrupt the minds of your own children.
