The image of India being just a passive nation comes because of the conduct of our politicians. They just speak and not mean any action.
I mean... A gentleman will never attack any neighbour without reason. However if his children are killed, then even the most gentleman person will give a severe reaction. But alas... in our case.. since none of the people who died/injured are Children/wives/sons/fathers...relatives of these so called politicians.. hence there is bound to be no action. Their blood has become white... so they have nothing to boil. Blood boils of onlt true patriots.
