I, of Indian stock, inured to unknown people dying or getting killed somewhere in this large country held the remote ready to switch off the television.

… However, 26/11 changed me forever…

In which country would there be no consequences for this …?
In which country would wankers flaunt their devious agenda fearlessly in our face ?

The fantastical world inhabited by the Abdullahs, Muftis & their friends.
~Unacceptable amendments to the land ownership laws of J&K. Even the tokenism of domicile has been done away with~

*whereas we can buy land, houses, farmhouses, malls, shops any & everywhere across India... & overseas. All paid by stealing from the Indian taxpayer*
~Asi gachi Pakistan, Bata ros ta batanev san~
(We want Pakistan, with Kashmiri Hindu women & without their men-folk).
~Zalimo O, Kafiro, Kashmir hamara chhod do~
(Ye cruel Kafirs (infidels) vacate our Kashmir)

There are people right now practising their fall...

- Priyanka has to ensure her nose will remain intact.

- Shashi must get that hair flick right.

- Gehlot is happy no one is paying attention to him so he’s pushing that handsome, English-speaking wishwash to take a roll.
- Surjewala not only has to fall but has to brief us why Rahul’s act is tough to follow.
Everyone, after all, is not motivated by erm ... a bush.
- Mamata is checking if it’s possible to do it right with her arms still firmly across her chest.

- Pawar is hoping it will rain.

In France, mid 70s preceding & after PM Desai & FM Vajpayee’s visits there were several docufilms & TV discussions on India which made me dread school the following morning.
Both teachers & classmates would accost me wide-eyed with a variety of incredulous questions on
-Caste system
Was I allowed to take water from the well ? Or was I upper caste & kept myself segregated from lower castes ?

-Dowry system
Would my father buy me groom ?

-Arranged marriages
Would I be condemned to a loveless transaction?
-Astrology
Did we plan our day accordingly ?

-Fetish for sons
Was my being educated the norm ?

-Cows
Did we get down from our cars & bow to passing bovines ?

The fact that my father didn’t have a bodhi like the Hare Rama Hare Rama guys was also a matter of great surprise.

So many decades later I can say this .... 😁
#SundayMusings
Newly married, my husband & I moved to a neglected land- holding that belonged to the family.

Besides a pump room, gardener’s room & our own two rooms there were 3 Neem trees, an unidentifiable hedge & a profusion of overgrowth - home to snakes & other creepy crawlies.
Soon with the Mali I began the exercise of clearing & cleaning one part of the land hoping to grow tuberoses ... that of course is another story ... of unrealistic expectations built on a 4-hour electric supply & water entirely dependent on it.

~Indeed with Ministers, his status is more that of king among courtiers than first among equals. We are told that in cabinet no-one, with the possible exception of K C Pant, the Defence Minister, dares to contradict him~

~With 24 re-shuffles in four years, no Minister has been allowed to remain in one job long enough to establish an independent political reputation~
~After over four years in office, inexperience is no longer a sufficient excuse. It has become clear that Gandhi also has problems of indecisiveness and a tendency to lose interest in the implementation of policies~
