As usual, Saisuresh has come up with another magnificent piece. The author, in very few words, aptly describes the apathy that is prevelant in India in general, and in the Indian government, in particular. Unfortunately, the rules of the game are very different for Indians and Americans. An attack on India, is no doubt condemned by the rest of the civilised world, but any offensive action on part of India, is sure to raise discomfort in America and the rest of the western world. It seems to me that, the price of an Indian death is far less as compared to that of an American. Having said that, India is at fault, in the sense that, our leaders literally want the war on terrorism to operate from Washington DC. This is something that is never going to happen. United States, like any other country, has its own selfish interests, and rightly so. So although the American president is sure to make fiery rhetoric regarding this incident, America's indifference will continue. It will continue, till, Indian leaders show some spine in dealing with this menace. If they don't, India will continue to weep.
