It's frustrating to watch helplessly while Mother India is being continuously raped by a neighbourhood goon and some of her "sons" , who refuse to acknowledge her as their mother but continue to feed voraciously at her all-embracing breasts so much so that the fonts of rich milk have started bleeding. Cry, Mother India, your sons have no time to listen to your anguished cries for help! They are too busy extolling your qualities and potential to outside buyers for their petty benefits. They are too secular to acknowledge their religion and too scared to give it up! Or, may be they just want to eat their cake and have it,too! Either way, it's the nation and its hapless citizens who continue to suffer at the hand of the unscrupulous, the greedy, the ungrateful, etc.,etc. The citizens themselves are too timid,lazy and confused to do anything about. The "permanent" establishment euphemistically referred to as being permanent , have their own selfish concerns to address. Their comfort lies in their kowtowing to their masters' commands.I feel so much impotent at the virtual helplessness of the situation. I am sure, Musharraf is having an uproarious laugh at the contd.
