Indian?? who ?? me ??

After being in a lighter mood lately and the resultant ‘gay talk’ of my previous post, last three weeks have been quite somber and demure for me. The causative agents for this are principally two: 1. My (disastrous) end-semesters and 2. My penchant for keeping myself well-informed of the world around.

I don’t consider discussing the first thing (as it will only multiply my sorrows..and not solve a problem). But the second topic deserves a mention at least on this measly nook of the web space.

A major chunk of my time, from the last 3 weeks, was engulfed by a black-hole called exam preparations ! However this doesn’t mean that I delved myself completely into the abysmal depths of textbooks. I exploited the broadband connection of my college to the maximum and downloaded stuffs and spammed more professors and wandered desultorily on youtube and finally watched (and read) news on my favorite news channel website.

But somehow, watching news was a bit disconcerting and disgruntling during this period. It felt as if with each passing day, my feeling of patriotism was fading away. As my end-semesters were approaching closer, my love for the motherland was drifting away. The happenings happening around me were all responsible for that.

Instance 1

A Russian tourist is raped in Goa. The rapist is a fucking politician. He has no regrets for his deed. The victim is threatened by the assailant afterwards. He is seen laughing on national television as if he has won a gold medal for India in Olympics ! About a month later, an ‘honorable’ Member of Parliament blames the girl for getting her modesty desecrated, giving enough evidence that he has the potential to become the next gold medalist for India..all he needs is just a state-sponsored visit to the Bondi beach ! It is a massive misery for us that out of over a billion people, we find such disgusting beings to be called our leaders. I hope someday the daughter of this very MP shall become a gold medal for a foreign nation !

Instance 2

A new kid called ‘Telangana’ is on his way ! The painful pregnancy of our motherland is the result of a yet another occasion of poor (family) planning by our demagogues. The labour pains have started in the form of riots and anarchy in one of our biggest and developed cities, i.e., Hyderabad. The date of delivery is not known as yet, but what is known to everyone is that all education boards will soon have to edit their geography textbooks for a good-for-nothing cause. Forget the petty politics involved, what is really disheartening is that most of the concerned people are perceiving this stupid and unimportant event as a matter of extreme importance. They are filled with a ‘passion’ that they never show for the country. The rest, who have a straightforward opinion – “Who cares ??”, are a minority and have no say. What I can foresee is the evolution of a new neighboring-states rivalry with more fights for distribution of power, water and other resources, joining the ever-growing bandwagon of ‘Dismantle India’ brigade. This brigade already has onboard terrorism, poverty, population, corruption, naxalism and of course our leaders !

I believe I screwed up my DOM paper because when I was supposed to be preparing for it, I was wondering about the mental state of the moron that composed a song/phrase (whatever) that goes like – “Anekta mein ekta, hai Hind ki visheshta” !!

Instance 3

Kasab is a better actor than SRK. He has made a mockery of the goddamn Indian judicial system. I bet he’ll end up acting in a few Bollywood movies before NOT dying, but getting free after a Kandahar-2 !! This insane terrorist has enjoyed one whole year in an Indian prison, which is a far better place than his Pakistan home ! At least he gets food here (and that too twice a day..something he must have dreamt of all his life) and secondly, he has no fear of a US drone firing a missile into his ass. What makes me almost cry is the fucking importance he is getting in our country. For all human rights activists, he is the most humane person on earth. Our government and judiciary, who are always looking to prove something or other to the world, don’t want to miss this opportunity to prove that India is the most justice-loving country in the world. Maybe they have a bigger plan of making India a global justice outsourcing hub !!

I can only ask this question – How long did it take for the US to hang Saddam Hussein?? Nobody knows clearly what actually transpired in the court, where he was tried. The version that US gave was accepted or rejected the world over. But ultimately, Saddam was hanged and nobody could stop that. At that moment, US never thought of proving anything to the world. Bush wanted to hang him and he did, even as we know that no weapon of mass destruction was actually found in Iraq.

Instance 4

A top IPS officer of Haryana molested a 14-year old girl in 1990. The girl could not bear the trauma and committed suicide three years later. The animal responsible for this has been convicted now, 19 years after the incident. Firstly, I believe in the saying – ‘Justice delayed is justice denied’. So this conviction is just as rubbish as shit. Secondly, the monster got a hilarious punishment. He got SIX MONTHS in jail. Now this is the beauty of Indian judiciary. You wait for fucking 19 years to put someone in jail for 6 months ! Even Mr. Liberhan would be feeling insecure after this !

Now just read this statement : “A former Director General of Police in Haryana, India molested a teen driving her to end her life. He escaped almost scot free with SIX MONTHS in jail after NINETEEN YEARS of trial.” If a foreigner reads out this statement and asks me about my nationality, I am definitely sure my reply WON'T be “INDIA”.
