And the politicians hearts cry out again....

after another blast rips through the Delhi High Court, killing almost a dozen, injuring many others, and the politicians get into the crocodile tears act, with visits to the hospital and statements about condemning terrorism and how they will not bow down to terrorists.

The fact is that the people of this country should have started calling out the incompetence and unaccountability of this putrid government many years ago, but then there are very few things that actually seem to stir our numb society into any sort of action. That's why I praised Anna Hazare because keeping everything else aside, he stirred a lot of people into opening their eyes and realizing their government's absolutely the worst ever this country probably ever voted in.

Yes, the Delhi blasts have failed to register in the national psyche once again, nobody around me has even mentioned it, talked about it, or expressed any anger or any other emotion regarding it. Sometimes I wonder why terrorists even bother trying to blast our society, just like an ant farm, you crush a few and the rest continue doing their job. So if there's any sort of shock that terrorists hope to create, perhaps our society is too numb to feel it? But then again, if the terrorists happen to be, or be supported by, pathological India haters that the Pakistanis are, then I suppose they're just living their lives i.e. hating India and trying to hurt it because that country's society has nothing else to fill its national psyche.

The Pakistani regime must feel a change is in the air though, definitely. In the past, it has been very easy for Indian politicians to simply hint at foreign forces or Pakistani hand in terror blasts and attacks in the country and the rest of the country would take it for what its worth and get on, but now apparently the people seem to have started calling out the Politician's bluff because while it is true that some people will always try to hurt India no matter what, it is upto us to protect ourselves, and this country's leadership has been very, very incompetent in that regard. Our body, no matter how strong it may be or has the potential of becoming, will be upto nothing if the head is incapable.

There was a lot of direct anger and sarcasm on facebook over the comments and visits of the bloody netas of the ruling government, including how Rahul Gandhi got booed at the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. Its very good that the people are catching up to the perfidy of the CONgress elite. Over the past few weeks, there was another joke that the ruling government played on its people - all the ministers declared their wealth. Apparently Kamal Nath is the richest politician with Rs. 300 crore worth of assets, leaving behind by a mile the other honest politicians of the Queen's cabinet, including the Maratha son of the soil Sharad Pawar, who has 12 crore in assets. I am surprised an honest man such as he even has 12 crores! Considering all his wealth is stashed away in Switzerland and tax havens and in the name of his family, its very honest of him to declare such a large amount as 12 crore. Hats off to this honest politician.

Anyways, the latest news is that the Queen is back to rule over her subjects, and they can definitely use her leadership to guide the propaganda machinery back in their favour. A lot of conspiracy theories are reporting, or I feel wishing, that she was abroad also to take care of their massive wealth, as there might be signs that there was a showdown looming where all this wealth would become public knowledge. I too wish that that were the case, but politicians have a tentacle like grip on every system in the country, and its very unlikely that there ever will be a day which will see all this stolen wealth ever returned. I think its all sunk.

I am not quite sure whether I should consider that the issue of shameless corruption and blatant inaction on national security are related, but somehow my gut feeling tells me that they are related, I really don't know why. The point is that in the past few years, I have seen our country become more and more accepting of terrorism and deaths of our citizens, and that is a very dangerous sign. Like I said, the bomb blasts in Delhi hardly created a ripple in Mumbai and anywhere in the country, and thats a very very sad state of affairs. When this society is unable to stand together to fight a common enemy, I suppose the government will not have the pressure to do anything, and the enemy will obviously have a field day killing.
