It seems that the coming few weeks will be very turbulent in Indian politics. Presently there are two very hot issues circulating in the electronic media.
One issue is that of Delhi chief Minister Mr. Kejriwal's confrontation with the Lt.Governor of Union Territory of Delhi Mr. Jung.
The second and most sensational, in my opinion, is the controversial comment made by PM Narendra Modi about Indians living abroad who are ashamed of being born in India.
I ask the PM if he ever felt ashamed of being the son of a very poor tea vendor. If not then how come a person belonging to the biggest democracy in the world feel ashamed to be an Indian when his forefathers were Indian as well!
Yes we feel ashamed now whilst living in the UK, some people ask me about the deteriorating law and order situation during the past one year in India.
Yes we feel ashamed when someone asks how people with criminal records are in the Indian Parliament and how a person could fight the election whilst in prison on serious charges of murder and extortion.
Yes we feel ashamed when we are told that our leaders made false promises to bring reforms during their election campaign which they do not fulfil even after a year of their being elected to govern the country.
