Honouring martyrs? Do we Indians ever do? What we Indians do is get busy in earning money in whatever way and for which we make the politicians bigger than what they are. If a rich person dies all the news channels will also cover it. The best example is the Arushi murder case. But did the news channel protest strongly about the absentism of our ministers and bureaucrats at the funeral of our hero ... Manekshaw? The president had all the time to come to Pune for 2 days for just inaugarations but no time to respect our hero.
