those of us who dabble in so called allopathy or the western school of medicine have to be especially careful about the side effects of the medicine we prescribe. even an ubiquitous preparation aspirin may cause severe ulceration.
we in india seem to suffer from the classic side effects of the democracy. we have given away the right to tule in hands of illiterates and imbeciles. even those who have some education seem to leave it at home when it comes to governance.
recent bomb explosions in hyderabad have reinforced my feelings.
we do not act against terrorist groups despite evidence against them because we are afraid that we will lose the votes of the community to which they belong. this gives further impetus to these groups. they think that they can do any thing and get away with it by hiding in the arms of thier community.
the thing that i get angry with is that we are foolish enough to think that our minority community will condone the acts of these lumpen criminals and condemn the political party that takes action against them.
this formulation is furthered by the radical elements in the community who have thier own agendas to push. many of them subversive to be branded as anti national.
what shocks me is the silence of the intellectuals and the liberals of these communities. barring a few voices they keep quite and strengthen the hands of the radicals thus damning thier whole community in the eyes of the country.
it is about time we take strong action against these elements and make sure that the indian lives are not considered cheap.
