Cry That You Were Born in India

It has happened once again. They kidnapped an Indian and slit his throat. I am talking about Kutty, the driver with Border Road Organization. What you see above is his kin crying over their wretched fate.


Our honorable PM says that he condemned the "cruel and inhuman character of the Taliban and the forces they represent". Also, the MEA says "We strongly condemn this inhuman and barbaric act against an innocent person. The Taliban and its backers bear the responsibility for the consequences of this outrageous act".

With this, the responsibility of the PM is over. Oh yes, I do know that the kin of the deceased have been given Rs 10 Lacs. What I don't undestand is how will it compensate the wife who lost her husband, kids who lost their father and old parents who lost their young son for life.

And all of us talk hoarse of how we are going to be a big power in another 20 years. Point is, if we cannot protect our citizens beyond passing condemnations, no one is going to take us seriously. The world remembers how we behaved like pussilanimous spineless wimps during IC 814 and numerous such incidents. The larger question is till how long can people kill Indians with impunity and just how much is too much - for how long can we take this sh*t lying down.

And where are all those who are fearing for torture of Abu Salem by police (heyyy, shouldn't he be given five star treatment, with AC, newspapers, seven course meals, aristocratic hospitality and an elite battery of international lawyers) and crying hoarse about apprehensions of violations of his human rights. Aren't killers of innocent people responsible for human rights.

Where are these Goddamned human rights activists now?

Will anyone, and I mean all those who cry against TADA and POTA, all those who come forward to defend Memons and Salems, all OA Siddiquies and all Harjot Singhs to please go to Afghanistan and organize a human rights march and fight Kutty's case in Taliban's courts???
