Indians blame others - never their own.

Over the last few days, a lot of Indians are calling names to Pakistan (Sarabjit case) and the Chinese ( the 19 Km intrusion, sorry, acne, case). Not too many are blaming their home country for the situation it is finding itself in.

Guys, don't blame Pak or China. They are not answerable to you and me. But the Indian government is. Or, at least, it should be.We pay for every subsidized plate of chicken biryani they have in the parliament canteen (and then go home, without transacting the business of the parliament).

Let us take a systemic view of what is happening -

• No one outside India feels any need or compulsion to be nice to us. We have neither the power, nor the inclination, to do anything to anybody or give anything to anyone. Well, if you had such a non-entity around you, would you really bother ? Spineless and visionless guys on top have done this to a country of 121 crores and an army of 12 lacs.
• The government as well as the opposition is bothered only for their community and those in power. The common man is just not there on their radar. They know damn well that their vote bank does not get affected by what the people think of them after individual incidents All you have to do is to brazen it out for, maybe, 4-5 days.
• In any case, UPA knows its goose is cooked. It is beyond all redemption. Realists, they surely are!

Some specifics now.

People are blaming Pak for delaying the departure of the plane carrying Sarabjit's body, since the Indian officials are not able to supply the NOC. I say it must have been some real inefficient Indian officials who didn't even think of this? Where is the coordination and planning? Are they dumb? No, they are not. If it were the body of someone of the ruling class, would our guys have been so careless? What if the body was that of a dog owned by someone in the Gandhi family?

This is the same country which did not bother when Pakis cut off everything from a living Lt Saurabh  Kalia, a brave soldier in Kargil. If the country could do that to an officer, would they bother for Sarabjeet? Aw, come on, man! Get real.

Sarabjeet kept shouting from the rooftops that he is likely to be murdered soon in the jail but no one bothered except, maybe, dashing off a letter to Pak. After all, we are the ultimate 'dossier nation'. In the same week, Indian govt announced Z level security for an industrialist, Ambani. Though security is a state subject, the central govt did not miss a chance to ingratiate itself with Ambani. Clearly, Ambani and Sarabjit are different classes. Elections are close and Ambani can fund part of it.

And now Sarabjeet's body is being flown in by a special aircraft, a crore and a half rupees have already been promised to the family, daughters will be given jobs and ----- and -----  Punjab will have a 3 day state mourning! What if Pak announced a state mourning on the death of Ajmal Kasab? Why do we forget that Sarabjeet was convicted of bombing and killing 10 Pakis, by nothing less than the Supreme court of the country he was caught in? How humane were we in handling the requests of Afzal guru's family concerning his dead body? Our government chose to look after only  its perceived interests. At least, Pakistan did return the body of Sarabjit to his kin.

On 3 May, the CM of Punjab and his full cabinet will attend the cremation.  PM call him a' brave son of India'. Khabar na li umr bhar jinhone, unhi ke kandhon pe jaa rahan hoon. The body is being kept in a Gurudwara. It is the same Gurudwara administration which refused even a bhog ceremony to an Indian General, just a few months back. Fantastic. Clearly, elections are approaching.

Why don't elections take place every month or fortnight?

Indian govt wants special probe into how Sarabjit got killed in the jail. They forget that prisoners keep getting regularly killed in Indian jails. Who cares? And what about Chamel Singh, the other Indian prisoner killed in Pak jail, just a few months ago? No aircrafts, no crore and a half for him. Clearly, the elections were too far when he died. No benefit in giving him money. 

What a country! Guys, don't blame others. Your own leaders are screwing you. Royally.
