Indians Disappoint Me.


I am disappointed by all my countrymen and countrywomen.And of course being an Indian Myself I am more disgusted with myself.

* A Jessica Lal Dies.An Aarushi Talwar dies.I see loads of people holding candles and marching to India Gate or other monuments.
Lakhs Of people brutally died in the Bihar floods. And all candles were disgustingly missing.
There was literally no banners or march of peace.
* Our Prime Minister, Who after 4 years In office has now got this idea that there is no co-ordination in between different security agencies and this leads to terrorist attacks on the country, is wished a very good morning be me myself. It took you 4 years and thousands of deaths to get that idea? wow
* Our Home Minister, who is another Rajya sabha member [he had lost the Lok sabha elections last time] loves changing dresses when he hops from one blast site to another. I am now more glad that two bombs, near regal cinema and India gate, got defused.I am not particularly fan of those bandh gala, and watching him flaunting his whole wardrobe in a day would have been slightly boring.
* In our country, you can be a Gujjar and uproot rail lines.If you feel like you can block Jammu, kashmiryou canKashmir.You can jam the national highway at singur at your will.You can even tell anyone that he/she is a non Marathi and should be shooed away.Or buy a member of parliaments in few crores rupees, to win a trust vote.
But i Tushar Mangal ask, then why do we blame terrorists for planting bombs, in our markets when we are presenting such a rosy picture of our national security???
each and every voter in this country should hang his head in shame. Utter shame.
* In Bihar, Politicians are inaugurating relief camps, Distributing tax payer's money at will on relief camps that are adorned by there party symbol's and posters or distributing plain cash.Daily I see pictures of people presenting cheques for relief funds as if they are doing a favor or pitying someone.
If you want to do charity, why be pompous??? Again who should hang his/her head in shame???
for this pompousness
* No, this is not the country, for whom Bhagat Singh got himself hanged.No.
The weakness of the government shows our weakness.
The voters who made this government.
My only faith now left somewhat is in Nitish Kumar, who has approached Nepal's Prime Minister to work out ways to prevent floods from Nepal to India. At least someone is there who is thinking a bit about our country's future.
Or Mr. Advani, who is at least interested in bringing up a law against terrorism.I am not much aware of the merits or demerits of POTA still at least maybe it is an effort.
Our Prime Minster, who is only interested in his high command's orders or the Nuclear deal, worries less about us than his other commitments to Madam and one Mr. Bush.
With reasons such as these and several small others, I say today, Indians today should feel ashamed and look forwards to redeeming their conscience.

Press 9 for a Crime by Shailendra Jha— Can a family fight a scam empire?

I read Shailendra Jha’s Press 9 for a Crime with my late-night lamp on; it’s a razor-sharp, humane thriller set between East Delhi and scam hubs in Southeast Asia . Fast, funny, and disturbingly real, it follows Aseem’s risky rescue of his missing brother. This review analyses theme, craft, character work and why the book both alarms and entertains and lingers. Why did this book grab me at once? Have you ever opened a book at midnight because the world outside felt suddenly less interesting than the danger on the page? That was me with Press 9 for a Crime . As someone who reads a lot of thrillers, believable stakes, and characters I care about. Jha gives me both within the first ten pages. The opening scenes place you in a cramped East Delhi neighbourhood and you instantly feel the hum of small-town hopes: the son who promises escape through a “job in Bangkok”, the ledger of family debts, the refrigerator light in a kitchen where dreams are rationed. Jha’s background in journa...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...
