Spineless nation full of gutless countrymen

Fresh riots in Hyderabad between 'two communities' as the press would have it, is made out to be so abstruse that we end up wondering whether it could be Hindus vs Jews, or Catholics vs Buddhists or even Iyers vs Jains. I don't why the press even attempts to be politically correct, when all their content is morally incorrect. If you go through the broadsheet of any day's GN, no page is complete without that one spicy dose of violence. So, what sells besides what you know sells?

Coming back to the topic, there is something about Hyderabad that is symptomatic of the nation as a whole. I remember when India-Pakistan matches used to take place, Old Hyderabad would support you know who, and would reverentially hoist the national flag of Pakistan, in case they won. As a tolerant and understanding nation of eunuchs, we would stand and watch. The bold television channels would not capture those scenes, for fear of inflaming the (non-existent) passions of the (impotent) masses. The police, would of course, respectfully avoid Old Hyderabad.

The right to freedom has long been abused as the right to privilege, while the freedom of action is never allowed to segue into the freedom of reaction. As long as Chidambaram, and all those members of the Italian mafia that rule our country, talk about 'talk' as pragmatic responses to the 'walk' of the enemy without, they will fail to recognize that the enemy is well within.

And we will have Hyderabad from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.
