“…..Yet they are honourable men ….” I was compelled to recall these words from the famous speech of Mark Antony as illustrated by Shakespeare; it was when I happened to read an interesting comment on India, presented by an Indian patriot through Face book. It read, ‘India is my country... All Indians are my brothers who are rapists and sisters who fall prey to them. My country stands united only when there is an India Vs Pakistan cricket match being played. …… India is a great country because the people living in this country will fight with you, abuse you and even kill you if you say anything against it. ..... India is a great country with strict laws and regulations. We are paying taxes, so that the government can pay and protect politicians. Shame on all of us.... But India is a great country..!”
Sometime back, I remember to have read another similar comment on India. It read, ‘India will be corruption free’ – tense wise ‘Future Impossible’. The recent shameful rape and murder incident in Delhi could raise many eyebrows. For the first time in post independent India, people sealed the most protected Rashtrapathi Bhavan – the prestigious house of the President, without a political magnet to hold the banner. It all says that the heart of India is wounded badly. It also says that a few nuts can not at all damage neither the spirit of India nor its’ proud heritage. I think positive, I believe not in the few scoundrels who cover the news boxes but in the many shouts that shook the Raisina Hill.
