India: mirror mirror on the wall, who's the mightiest of them all

by Ghalib Sultan

Dr. Singh's India obsessed with image building has been running out of fingers to plug the holes in its incredible bucket. Apart from the separatist movements raving in the north- east and north-west of the country such as in Khalistan, Assam, Tripura, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh (with China) and Kashmir (it being the most high profile separatist movement aspiring to join India's umbilical adversary Pakistan), India is already underway Operation Green Hunt to root out Naxalites inhabiting the entire Red Corridor. Constituting most part of the south west of India Red Corridor comprises 16 states and a total of 195 affected districts.

Nearly all the states infested with Maoists in the Red Corridor are no-go areas for state police and other law enforcement agencies. Only recently two sweepers from the Joint security forces have been abducted by the Maoists in Kolkata as "prisoners of war". State Police have been offering but a paper-thin defence against these Maoists and are being targeted as 'enemy troops' by the Naxalites.

While corrupt, criminally negligent and utterly inept, 'criminal' legislators make a laughing stalk of Indian democracy before the world, ghastly evils like communal strife, separatist movements, Naxalites, hunger, abject poverty, crime, frustration and social discord continue to sweep dark molasses across the incredible picture Dr. Singh has been face-painting over the years.
