Dear George,
Some of the points raised in your letter have raised some questions in my mind.
You say - 'go back to the medieval times' - going by the ways of the government machinery that has run the country for the past 60+ years we are in the medieval times. By and large the public has been by-stander if not a participant in the fiasco. However, now it appears that a significant part of the public wants to rise above this rabble and is subconsciously looking for leadership other than khadi clad mafia.
Then "Our India is the only country in the sub-continent that has not fallen to military dictatorship." There are many reasons including 'leadership' necessary to bring it about, but the Army has not done any favor to the country - look to whom it has been subservient. The bureaucrats have been deriding the generals irrespective of the stars he has managed to acquire. Look at the state of the country - look at the levels of corruption - I can forgive the man in the civil street for he is not organized, but not the supposedly well-organized force that has taken an oath of allegiance to the constitution and at the same time can conveniently watch the rape of the country from the sidelines.
Why is "There is a judicial committee that is now looking into the matter of rapes." at this time - it is because the pre-dominantly youth protestors have taken to the streets. How is this committee going to be different from the judicial system, or why should it even be different?
Can anyone in all honesty recall any productive discussion in the parliament that has been conducive to the public good? That one can now expect the parliamentarians to suddenly have a change of heart. They will still try to save their collective hides.
"Please - let us not lower ourselves to such mean depth as to even suggest a boycott of Republic Day." The day the likes of Sonia, Mayawati, Raja, vadra, etc., etc., etc., are made accountable for the massive wealth they have accumulated, the day police begins to protect the citizens, the day IAS behaves like a public servant, the day the judges are unbiased and upright will be the day to celebrate republic day, until then this celebration is a farce of quixotic proportions.
The sooner the PM speaks to empty rows of benches the sooner the country will be ready to get rid of the cancer.
Best Regards,
Virender
