Even though I feel strongly for the person who Died, however I am not sure why we need a national mourning day for him, why should we even spend our time discussing the same.
Thousands of people die over here in acts of Terrorisms, accidents, murders and lot of other factors, we do not make notes for all of them, then why for a person who was sitting thousands of miles away. Just because he was a NRI who made it big ?
In that case let me show you a different picture, he was a person educated in India, an education that was subsidized by the money of Indian tax payer, so that he can do this country some good. And what he did. for better pastures he settled abroad, do hell with the Indians with whose money and efforts this person was educated.
Not sure why he is being considered as National Treasure over here, he should not be any different to us then any of the other 30 odd people. His contribution to our lives is a Big ZERO !!
