The Government of India has
conveyed its displeasure to the U.S.A. maintaining that rules have been
violated in arresting Devyani Khobragade the Indian envoy charged with
violating minimum wages laws of the land i.e. America. The anger displayed appears
to be a fake one in the face of its timid track records while dealing with the American
criminals involved in India.
Warren Anderson the then Union
Carbide Corporation chief hailed as the butcher of Bhopal and responsible for
putting thousands of people to death, disability, slow & painful deaths and
deformed births inflicted by poisonous gas leakage from his factory had been
accorded a safe passage from India to
America by the then Rajiv Gandhi government. Anderson just thumbed his nose at the
Indian institutions and its law. The successive non-congress governments also
followed the same foreign policy of coyness and cowardice and made no efforts
to punish the American culprits or to extract optimum compensation for the gas
victims. The judiciary also failed.
This great nation has been led
at times by timorous leaderships who would suffer bowels upset when frowned at
by the Americans. India is now a big economic, military and nuclear power, its
people are brave and courageous. We have huge market which no country can ignore;
we export scientists, technicians, engineers and medical professionals all
over. It cannot be cowed down any more
by either our inimical neighbors or the USA.
The problem is that our
political and bureaucratic set-up is made of rotten materials with no sense of
self-pride for the country; it is corrupt and shameless too.
