At 64, a senior, yet labelled as 'Developing nation'! Grossly violated, repeatedly humiliated, and frequently raped, that's my India.
Leaders who exudes leech like quality - glued to their cushioned chair, holding on the power like an armor, and hoodwinking the very people who got them the chair. If this is not gross violation, then, I wonder what is!
Our rich heritage and culture repeatedly humiliated in the name of religion. Mandir and Masjid getting demolished in this political tug of war. If this is not humiliating our art and culture, then, I wonder what is!
Mines dug, trees cut, hills brutalized... all in the name of globalization. If this is not raping our beautiful landscape, then, I wonder what is!
And our leaders continue to make lofty claims on Independence day.

Shameful! And I continue asking, what are we doing about it? Do we care enup to take action, or do we, like me, just keep asking!!!
The bulk of the middle class just does not care. The bulk of the poor continue to struglle for survival in this incredibly unfriendly India. And the bulk of the super rich continue to facilitate this loot and rape!
So what happens next?
There need not be any metaphorical reference to rape. In India, rape is real, repeated and brutal - all pointing to the crass cultural heritage that we have inherited and which we shamelessly glorify on the world stage.
