Wake up India
by deepblue on Dec 31, 2007 06:12 PM   Permalink

Good to see so many appreciating the truth. we Indians tend to take everything (every news) so much on the face value that we just fail to see the reality at times. The day madam Bhutto died I saw so many indians pouring homages to her on all indian news web-sites - which it seemed were more inclined towards glorifying her rather than just reporting her assassination. Mind you, our dear PM was only one of the million of us indians who mourned like they had lost one of their own, so let's not just blame him. I failed to understand what suddenly made Bhutto a hero in OUR country? Do us Indians even know of what evil (or good, if any) she did to our country? People just wrote nice testimonials to her as if everyone seemed to know her personally? Is it in fashion these days to follow the herd? Whatever is happening in Pakistan should certainly concern us Indians, not for who will take care of Bhutto's kin or PPP or Pakistan now, but for the security of our own country. It is my appeal to all the people of India to wake up and grow up, seeing is not always (and should not be) believing, learn to see beyond the obvious. Looks could be deceptive (especially if we have a neighbor like pakistan), don't buy things on the face value.
Cheers,
A proud Indian
