The Absent Leadership

Maoist insurgency

Inflation

Food Shortage

Railway Accidents

Kashmir

Ayodhya

Un-Common Wealth Games

The list continues to increase.

Issues are plenty, leadership is empty...

Howsoever inappropriate the above sentence may be from the language point of view, it is a sad but brutal truth on the current absence of leadership in India.

Never before have so many problems faced India at the same time and never before the absence of response from the leaders has been so much felt.

No Mamta for Rail

No mamta for Rail.

It is tragic.

It is tragic when there is no mamta (used as an emotion) for the plight of Railways. This year alone, there have been 13 accidents which have come into the limelight, the most recent being the one in Sainthia ( West Bengal). To talk about the number of casualties would be to trivialise the matter for those who lost someone and for those who care about the plight of Indian Railways.
