Pundit Peru, India's Cultural Ambassador to the World presents the TOP 10 sure-to-see during and after incidents like the Mumbai Blasts!
10. Government will move FASTEST when in the spotlight of the World Press
9. Lives of FOREIGNERS are worth more than those of Indians - See Orissa Issue? Hundreds died there -- where was the army? where were the 'daring' commandos? Where was the "firm resolve" of the Indian PM?
8. State-loyal media will run stories and pictures of the "daring rescue" taking attention away from questions about the FAILURE of the Indian intelligence to prevent the incident in the first place.
7. Police will shoot to kill. Easier than capturing terrorists alive. Never know what INCONVENIENT TRUTHS might emerge from that!
6. "Patriotic" Indian youth that can always be counted up to pile atop lorries to intimidate the poor and the innocent at the behest of the politicians are CONSPICUOUS by their absence in such a terrorist/hostage situation.
5. Government will NOT demand (ir)responsible officials resign.
4. If officials resign they will be replaced with equally if not more INCOMPETENT personnel. Because the Indian system runs on favoritism" not "professionalism"
3. Indian government will offer NO relief to the families of the innocent victims -- not even a token to show that as a responsible government, it bears final responsibility.
2. Indian government will create MARTYRS of the uniformed fallen, liken the incident to 9/11 to secure international empathy and hope the public never hold it and its police accountable!
1. We as a people will criticize the government and the police conveniently forgetting that they are of our creation. Eventually, it is WE the PEOPLE who are to blame.
