The dance of democracy

Indian democracy once again showed that people on the streets think different than those who sit in AC rooms and want to change fortunes. The Gujarat poll results are like a slap on all those who don't tire of thinking and declaring that India should be thinking the way they do because otherwise they belong on an uncivil society. This is surely a loss of crediblity for all the 'Limousine Liberals' like Javed Akhtar, Teesta Setlavad, Achyut Yagnik etc. They need to have an unbiased stance and not be selective in their causes. Infact in one of the channels, Teesta lost her cool when said she has lost crediblity due to her silence on issues like Nandigram.

This also brings to notice one serious issue and that is in India, choices are Modi, Gandhi family and Prakash Karat, all with blood on their hands. If Modi was the Nero when Gujarat burnt, Congress was actively involved in killings of the Sikhs in 84 and Communists have been spilling blood in West Bengal and Kerela for decades now. So it always will remain the best of the worst race with choices differing from state to state and class to class

For now, one has to just step back and respect the judgement of the mass majority in Gujarat.

Merchants of death

No, am not talking about Sonia's statement and the aftermath and am neither talking about Modi as enough has been written about both. This is about mockery of dead bodies in Maharashtra.

Amravati in Maharashtra is one of the worst hit areas for farmer community. The place has seen more than 500 suicides by the farmers so far. The state government has been shying away from helping them out of their woes citing bad economic conditions of the state treassury. Even the cheques given by PM bounced due to lack of funds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But now the widows have a new gift from the government. They have a 400 crore International Airport. Can a mockery ever be more ruthless?

And the airport just because our President Pratibhu "who' Patil belongs to Amravati. So the parched lands of Amravati can watch airplanes fly by while their farmers hang themselves to death.
