Cactus

The prickly issue of the current Indian Diplomat, and the treatment meted out to her is such an insult to all Indians, that we feel ashamed to even call our self self respecting Indians with a population of 1.2 billion people and one of the large democracies in this world.

So many debates, disputes splashed across newspapers, TV channels and literally even rational anchors getting emotionally disturbed while conducting the debate can make any Indian spectator feel patriotic and angry.The countries ,around us already treat us like dirt.China walks in and treads on our  territory at will and make atrocious claims, refuses visa or gives visa on seperate papers instead of the passport, arrest 3-5 people from our own territory and needle us at will.Yet we sit and watch like dummies,keep requesting and pleading and ignoring the signs till such a time comes where anybody stands up and slaps us Indians.Is this what we deserve?Pakistan, a piddly nation, a breakaway state from India( the biggest mistake ever made by our own people),sends terrorist across our LOC and slaughter our army personnel and we meet their PM shaking hands????The 26/11 is a glaring example, where for years post the event we still are sending evidences( ridiculous)to the other side asking them to admit their hand in the attacks.They keep refusing bluntly and we do the Indian bobbing  and nodding like a puppet on a string.Shame on all of us!!!!

Why can't we do the same airport checks for ex-American presidents visiting us as they did for Dr Abdul Kalam at the US airports and then state that there was a mistaken identity or lack of coordination between internal security agencies( which anyway is common in India).Can a prominent Hollywood actor be kept waiting in the Indian immigration with no fan,no access to telephone, no chair to sit and only be bombarded with questions asking him to prove his identity or reason for his visit.As we have some minority communities who are always treated with suspicion,why don't we treat some surnames with the same contempt when they visit us from the western countries.

Our govt.officials in high places too are so lame that the entire countries image has gone for a toss and we are treated worse than criminals.Pull out all the diplomats of those countries who don't treat us with respect and treat them the same way as our people are ,and immediately without delay.We need to make our presence felt.They need us to boost their economy and they need our population to grow on.If we withdraw all the key positions from USA represented by Indians as a diktat, they will suffer for sure.Give them back and make them realize that we don't take things lying low.Its high time.Today its the limit of counselor privileges and immunity definitions being violated and then hypothetically , lets assume we get an apology that turns up every politicians ego.But,what about the victim who goes through this?We have a piddly country like TOGO kicking our butt.Sad.I am appalled and feel humiliated.When will we ever stand up and show the world enough is enough.Lets be the cactus and prick others where required and not be at the receiving end at all times.
