The Confused Nation That We Are...

THE CONFUSED NATION THAT WE ARE...
A policeman kills a leopard that is actually attacking a villager, and instead of being felicitated he is booked for the crime of saving a human being at the insistence of some Wildlife Organisations.
A nation where
Rice is Rs.40/- per kg and SIM Card is free. Where a pizza you have ordered reaches home faster than an ambulance or
police, even if you were being murdered or having a heart attack
A nation where
A car loan is charged at 5% but an education loan, so necessary for our youth is charged an interest of 12%
A nation where
Students with 45% get into elite institutions through the quota system and those with 90% are sent away because of merit.
A nation where
A millionaire buys a cricket team, spending crores instead of donating the money to any charity.
A nation where
Two IPL teams were auctioned at 3300 crores, yet still a poor country where people starve for two square meals per day.
A country where
Ordinary salary tax payer is punished/fine for error in paying little less in tax, but the IPL collecting thousands crores has not paid any income tax and no body has issue on it.
A country where
Footwear is sold in AC showrooms, but the vegetables we eat, are sold on the footpath and very often next to garbage dumps.
A nation where
Everybody wants to be famous, not by doing good for others, but by looting others and finally getting their names in the newspapers through some scam or other!
It's a strange nation we live in, where assembly complex buildings get ready within a year while public bridges, flyovers and sea links take several years even to get off the drawing board and another decade to be completed
We have malls, and sky-rises, with slums forming their boundary wall.
A country where
Men and women squat on railway tracks, with no where else to go while watching them from windows, are couples with three bathrooms and one for the guests
A country where
Politicians who are supposed to serve the people accept money from the same people they are supposed to serve, then take a salary from the government for their services to the people
We are a nation where we talk in hushed whispers about the corruption in the country and then dig into our pockets to bribe a cop when we are caught cutting a red light.
A country
Where to get service in police needs minimum qualification a graduation, Whereas no qualification is required to get elected to run the govt.
A country
Where our soldiers are arrested on border and jailed by neighbouring countries and do not get proper food/ facilities, whereas militants from neighbouring countries when arrested and jailed in our jails are served biryani on demand.
Think about it; we are a confused nation, aren't we?
We are a nation
Where a man during whose chief ministership thousands of men, women and children were brutally killed gets rewarded by being designated as the prime ministerial candidate.
We are a nation
Where certain states propagate hate through school text books against those who are already living in refugee camps because their families were mercilessly murdered as a result of previous hate campaigns.
Think about it.
