Indira / Anti-Sikh Riots Forgotten

The Indian media seems to have conveniently forgotten the incidents that completely changed the course of this country's history 25 years ago. Not even a single media house has run a series on the events leading up to the assassination of Indira Gandhi, no follow ups or revisits to Golden Temple, not even a talk about Operation Blue Star.
It is shameful that a majority of editors who control the news media now, have forgotten the important part of our history. I was just seven years old at that time and even I can't ever forget the trauma of seeing Sikhs being beaten up and burnt. Their taxis smashed and burnt to ground. Is the Indian media so openly turning commercial that it forgets to revisit such an important chapter history. There hasn't been a single follow up the events, the incidents, the families who lost loved ones, the officials and politicians who were in-charge and haven't been brought to the book yet.
In independent India's history, till date, the riots that followed after Indira's death have been the worst ever witnessed by our country. Doesn't this elicit a response from our secular media? Or is it just busy bashing Modi.....and playing the appeasement card to one minority community...

grand theft auto

A pilot vehicle of Rajya Sabha Deputy Chair K Rahman Khan, which has a radio tag allowing its entry into Parliament, was stolen from the residence of his driver Delhi early this morning.
The SUV was stolen from R K Puram Sector-V residence of driver Niranjan Mohanty at around 5:15 am by an unidentified man who drove away with it despite the former giving a chase for some distance.
Though a Police Control Room call about the theft was made immediately and the police claim that a wireless message was flashed. However, the vehicle -- a Bolera with registration number DL2CQ 3678 -- could not be traced.
The vehicle has security clearance stickers which give access to prominent places in the capital The vehicle also has a radio tag which allows it to enter Parliament. Though it has been claimed that the tag has been de-activated to ensure that it is not misused.

afraid to show that we frustrated

Are Indians afraid to show that they are frustrated? Or are they just plain old hypocrites when it comes to accepting that there are problems and dealing with them.
A feudal society like ours still needs a maturity of another days before it starts to accept that a majority of our fellow citizens are frustrated with the system. A majority feels that the present system, read democracy, isn't working for the country and openly propagate a totalitarian society. But I feel that it is not a solution. And anyone who says otherwise can be restrained for a day in solitary confinement and should be able to understand this.

nobel low

How can the Nobel prize selection committee stoop so low? If there were any doubts that Nobel awards are wrongly held in too high an esteem it has been cleared today. The committee's decision to award it to a US President, who hasn't yet even spent an entire year in office, just points to what a big farce the entire thing is. Obama's contribution to the US and the world is not yet recognised in any way apart from him being of a mixed racial parentage and being able to rise to such high levels. The decision is a shocker.
This goes on to show that the Nobel prize committee is still as prejudiced and pathetic as they were during the times of Mahatma Gandhi. Though Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi didn't and doesn't need the recognition of a petty award like this but his oversight had established that the awards committee follows a definite agenda is its selection process.

honk honk honk

Driving on the roads is a nightmare.....with maniacs behind the wheel who are constantly honking. Without any rhyme or reason the honking continues. Though our home minister thinks that this maniacal tendency is only evident in the species plying vehicles on capital's roads, I find to be a common trait across the country. And unlike our Home Minister, who has the luxury of traveling as a VIP, I drive like any other common man.
Should there be a ban on honking on city roads? I suppose so ....... as a majority of drivers operating on our roads don't even have the basic driving skills. It seems that they are honking for other drivers to stay out of their way as they aren't as adept behind the wheel.

terror break?

Why is our country's leadership unwilling to take an action against terror strikes? The repeated and unrelenting terrorist strikes have shown us impunity with which these extremist organisations treat us.
The will power of an over one billion strong country seem to be lacking when it comes to dealing with terror outfits that don't want to relent. The intelligence agencies and police set up of the nation has in fact become a toll in the hand of political masters. The surveillance equipment and intelligence prowess, if there is any, is being used to snoop on their political masters rather than using it against the enemies of the country.
It seems that the political masters are more worried about their survival rather than the survival of the nation. Though there have been no major terror attacks on the country during the past few months, it can only be blamed on the business of these outfits who have been fighting against the US led assault. This breather from another round of serial blasts is not a show of competence on the part of our security agencies.
