If people who claimed Congress ‘let this nation down’, did so because of the State sponsored violence being perpetrated in the name of national security (North East, Jammu and Kashmir, Chattisgarh) under draconian laws like Armed Forces Special Powers Act or violation of rights and more violence in the name of development in Chattisgarh and Orissa or under some other pretext, then I wouldn’t be upset. But to claim that Congress’s worst crime is corruption or that only Congress is corrupt is frustrating and infuriating. How easily we pretend that running of an underground alcohol network in a state that has imposed prohibition is not corruption. Though that is not really one party’s fault. Right? But, State sponsored violence is violence, too. How about some of your outrage for that? No? Just corruption? Fine.

Just corruption. It’s corruption vs. ‘development’. Choose your poison. State sponsored violence is a can of worms which everyone would like to gingerly step around.
Sigh, Geet. So true. I am sure even if I share this I might just get hate comments. 😛
You probably would. Ugh. Sometimes engaging with the world is simply exhausting, isn’t it?
Yup. Truly.. 😦
Just corruption. And it shall last for a really long time. We just need to prepare ourselves for it or against it.
Sigh.. 😦
