No to Anna or No to Democracy?

By denying ANNA the right to hold peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, policy-makers have once again reinforced their sole authority on the very foundation of our democratic values. It is them and only them, who can decide the fate of this country and no one has a right to speak? Once elected to power, no one can question them and citizens should better behave; or else, the treatment would be similar to that of RAMDEV'S.

This is what we have been made to understand according to recent developments....

Another deduction which comes out of this entire episode is the failure of our institutional mechanism. The POLICE in specific, which gives us an impression that they are not serving the citizens; rather their political masters.

........... A complete breakdown of the organisational ethics.

Pakistan suffered one of the most disgraceful defeats of modern times where it also disowned her own fallen soldiers. Moreover, it also saw the beginning of another military coup by the army chief. Rest all is history and Pakistan is paying dearly for that even now.....

For India, the battle ignited the fervor of nationalism among common citizens with certain amount of anger against the establishments as well. The Indian armed forces saw the emergence of young officers who aimed nothing but victory.....

The President of India paid homage at the India Gate in New Delhi and also seconded the demand for a national war memorial... A dream which still remains a dream only. Non implementation of the recommendations of Kargil Review Committee set up to restructure the entire national defence mechanism still haunts India in the form of growing terror strikes......
