Compensation to the poor "misguided" boys - LOL time


http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Andhras-healing-touch-to-innocent-Muslims/385496/

Election time is getting closer.  Expect a lot more dole (ransom seems more apt) given out to the first claimants of our natural resources.
Meanwhile, the Sadhvi is being tortured and sexually harassed in prison.  If she turns out to be innocent, expect no apology, forget compensation.

Also, the Indian Navy sank a Somali pirate ship in the Gulf of Aden.

Manmoron Singh and Sonia seem to be unaware that Somalis belong to the religion of peace !!   Otherwise, we would have expected some admirals being shown the door, another round of pay cuts for our defense forces and withdrawal of the ship.  We would have been bombarded with news reports and television images of how the Navy is getting communalized along with the Army, and Manmoron whining about getting insomnia once again!

Cheap is too weak a word to describe how Manmoron and Sonia have given fat pay hikes to dull and lazy government babus (who seem to have become even lazier, going by the state of the infrastructure).  At the same time, they became stingy when defense forces were to be given a pay hike that is pretty much due.

Here's another one on the Malegaon case, this time making a good comparison with L'Affaire Dreyfuss:

Reminds me of a similar piece Rajeev did once way back. J'Accuse!

Also, I'm wondering if this piracy stuff wouldn't play into the hands of the Russians longterm, because then it makes the newly thawed arctic polar passage an even more attractive route from East Asia to Europe.
