Unity in Diversity, a clear illusion...



                                 Its been years since I last posted on my blog, that's precisely why I belong to those overwhelming amount of mundane bloggers occupying the internet space.

                                Now having been to places inside India and shifting bases continuously, and having lived in four different states, I have come to a conclusion that everything our school books taught about our country being united is an illusion. And thats why I've come back to blogging space to vent my anger. Because, All these were part of that biggest con, Unity in Diversity.

                                 A lot of you may disagree or may even think I'm paranoid. But this, truly is an empirical thought sprung after seeing and experiencing how people hate other community/languages/states and above all, faiths.
Whats more disturbing is that this hate exhibited is not superficial but deep-rooted.

Wake-up, lest we fall...!!!


                                            Recently, I read an article on ibnlive/blogs by Vir Chakra awardee Wing Commander(Retd.) Abdul Nasir Hanfee on our country's defence preparedness.  
After reading the article, I felt we won't have a Gen next to live, if we happened to go out on a full fledged war with one of our neighbours. We would be wiped right from our cradle to our grave.

How awful was the Blunder...???

                                After India's vote in the UNHRC resolution against Sri Lanka on war crimes, there was national wide furore amongst the journalist fraternity calling it an "Awful Blunder", "India has let down a friend", "Geo-political shift" and what not...
                                I personally thought for the first time this government has showed some spine. It was not a compromise on our non-alignment policy, it never was... I'm not trying to fathom if LTTE was a terrorist organisation or a liberation force, but it is just that we cannot see any race of ours suffering in any part of this world and this vote sent a strong message to the Lankans, infact to the world community as well.

Remembering 10yrs post barbarism...

                             There are instances when you feel its your duty to retort and rebuke, this is one of those to me. Being an avid reader, I pretty much make conclusions myself, which on the most part would be naive and belligerent. This post would certainly find its place amongst those.
                          
                              In my previous posts, I have always said this country's secularism is held by a thin fragile thread. Godhra riots stands a testimony for that. It stands a testimony for the Barbarism this country's sons have bred. It stands a testimony on how instigation and repercussion could leave lasting scars. It stands a testimony on how media and cheap political stunts go hand in hand.
                           
                             This post is not to boot-lick a majority or minority group. Infact in our country, every Tom, Dick and Harry has equal say, hence the majorities and minorities are just illusions of vote bank politics.

A Failed State...

                                    "I am Anna",  is perhaps the only pseudo name which people use as vainglory, I don't see a reason why...???
 The recent events has on the outset confirmed my incongruous fears expressed in the last post to be true. Team Anna, is losing their credibility. The more I see them on the television, the more I feel like they are a bunch disparate activists who in the name of changing the system are actually trying to take control over it.
A quasi government with a Failed State is what it seems like...

Lokpal bill or Analogous Govt...???

                               It has a been ages since I blogged, shows why I belong to those overwhelming amount of mundane bloggers, aptly.
What enthuses me to do so...??

Well,
 For quite sometime the Public Clamor has taken shape in the form of Lokpal, which is thoroughly a huge stride towards corruption free India, now having said that, How optimistic are we..??

Bribes and peddling are prima facie evidence on how this country over the years have worked passionately building a system rooted with corruption and power going hand in hand. The sobriety of the public was taken as an advantage to create a quasi-government which works for no one, except for those pocket fillers in the  power.

Why Egypt style protests would fail miserably in India...???

                   After the Jasmine revolution, the Egyptian revolution sent waves of upheaval across the Arab nations. Reason behind all these uprisings is social insecurity, nepotism, endless tyranny, poor governance, blah blah blah etc etc etc., 
                   Now thats nothing different from what we are facing in India, only difference being every five years there is a new lot coming to power and continuing the same agenda... 
                    Thanks to the voting power unlike our Arabian counterparts atleast we could choose who should actually disrupt our social harmony... we call it "Democracy".

                    Finally, If we were to start a Jasmine revolution or Tahrir square revolution in India, that would fail miserably because..
