I am yet to see another country that takes such little ownership of its own people. All that we can do is talk the big words of peace!!! And when it comes to even the smallest of hostage situations we fail!! I dont know that this super power big talk is about... what is border roads org doing in Afghanistan anyway...as if they are more required there than India itself!! I have been in Singapore for sometime and I can tell you...that as an Indian you can die here and then too the Indian embasssy will collect your body after 3 weeks if you are lucky...whereas the tiny little philipines will appoint a lawyer for its citizen maid accused of a murder in less than 24 hours...thats how it is...It is just too sad being an Indian outside India.
