INDIA

India is a land of contradictions.
there is a poem in malayalam, the language of kerala, the southernmost state of Indian, which says
After blowing out all the lamps
we plead 'let the light lead us'.

india does have the second largest army in the world
india is a nuclear power
india is a space faring country
india bangloored america
bobby jindal may happen to be the republican presidential candidate next time
vijay mallya might be showing his middle finger to the world after successfully bidding for the gandhi memorabilia. (he happen to be showing this to the indian government too).
indians are beating their chest for the slumdog millionaire.
during the pather panchali days none other than the great Nurgis (she was a film star, upper house member of indian parliament), criticised the film for showcasing indian poverty.
but now when the characters are dipped in shit, india say 'jai ho'.
rasool pookkutty though a muslim uttered the word 'OM' in his reply.
ar rahman chose love against hate (?) and did a dignified performance on stage but it was dannyboy who did the monkey act. was he doing it aka anglo/australian cricket fans while w.indies/indians play cricket.
anyway dannyboy is raking the moolah for his shitdip.
india is the land where budha was born. here jesus spent his youth to study budhist path. it was here gandhi lived and became mahatma. this country also gave birth to godse, who assasinated gandhi.
in india we find starving men, women and children. we find 50 of the fortune 500 too.
india finds unity in diversity.
