First we've the case of a minister, Jairam Ramesh, who in his wisdom has realised that we, as a country, do not have an open mind towards the Chinese in maintaining our relationship with the dragon country. He berates the Home Minister and the Defence Minister for their narrow mindsets and wants them to shun their archaic beliefs and embrace the Chinese with open arms. And mind you, he's fully aware of the fact that China has always antogonised us on many international fora because they are only bothered about their national interests as they know fully well that India is a threat to their standing in the world order. Why do people have to bend over backwards and curry favour in this deplorable fashion? Jairam Ramesh - is he yet another example of one, who'd got carried away by his hosts' hospitality?
Secondly, it was sad to hear Navin Jindal, a young MP speak in support of the 'Khap panchayats' of his home state, Haryana. Frankly, I felt disillusioned hearing him so, because I'd wanted him to be progressive thanks to his liberal education and youthful stature but he has turned out to be worse than his predecessors in playing up to vote bank requirements. How can he bat for a barbarious activity that many of these 'kangaroo courts' resort to in dispensing with death sentences to poor, hapless fellowmen who have neither the power or pelf to withstand their onslaught? Shouldn't he be advocating for all people abiding by the judiciary system of his country?
