India Shining... Really?????

Its 1940s all over again. The analogy is obvious. Just hope the result turns out to be exactly the same. The Indian Govt has crossed all barriers of shamelessness. Its time we the people of India cross all boundaries to fight this autocratic rule.
From the time I came to my senses, I have respected the Congress for the knowledgeable leaders the party has. Manmohan Singh, P Chitambram, Rahul Gandhi, Kapil Sibbal, Pranab Mukherjee to name a few. All of them experts in their field of study. All of them contributors to the formation of the Shining India. It was probably the only reason I considered Congress better than BJP.
But the events that have unfolded in the last 1 year or so have just shambled this respect. Scam is like a synonym of the govt right now. Every govt has corrupt ministers. But defending them, keeping mum when it comes to acting against them, stating that they are not guilty in front of all proven facts, pathetic!
Even more shocking has been the treatment given to those who have raised their voices against corruption. When Anna Hazare fasted for the 1st time, the "knowledgeable" govt double crossed him by making false promises for the much talked about Lokpal Bill. Baba Ramdev followed in Anna's footsteps and he was shown what the govt is actually capable of. Shamed, terrorized and humiliated in front of the entire nation. And finally the incidents that took place today. Arresting Anna and then acting innocent as if they were unaware of what was happening. Are we some kind of fools that we dont get what is happening?
May be we are. Only fools allow such acts of injustice to repeat again and again. If we stay silent now, we will be forced to stay silent our entire lives. Our freedom of speech is under threat. Its high time we come out of the shells of selfishness and do something for the nation. Support Anna, in whatever way possible. In these dark times, he is the only torch bearer.

ACT NOW OR ELSE FOREVER BE SLAVES.

  1. It is so ironical, when only a day before, the so-called 'Democrats' of our country, talked of Equality and 64 years of Freedom; and today they treat civilians demanding for their well-deserved right as criminals. Highly shameful!!
