Reading your post prompted me to to write this. I feel that people like you are worthy of admiration. I agree with you that as Indians, we must not be hasty in forming opinions. There is a lot of scope for manipulation by vested interests. More so since we have now entered into a preparatory General election mode, for next year, therefore, it is possible that a lot of local governements would be destabilized, by various means.
Please also accept my condolence to your father's death.
