Nandigram

There was a feast organized, for police, in Nandigram. The only pre-requisite was a voracious appetite, invitation cards were signed by Buddhadeb Bhattachryya himself and CPM cadre were in sufficient number to insure that the feast went on without any disturbance from ‘outside’. At the end of the day, 20-50 full lives were eaten. Some were left half eaten, smashed beyond recognition that it was difficult to identify a Paneer Masala from Chicken kebab. But what the use of leaving them? They wont come in use again.
This is democracy. Yes, this is democracy.
You have full right to live in this country, to roam anywhere, to support any political party and to protest again anything you don’t appreciate.
But again, the butchers in khaki (or rather government) have their own sets of rights. They have the right to smash anything beyond recognition. They have the right to feast on anything they like, raw or cooked, depending on their mood. Because it’s democracy and unfortunately they were elected to power for some reason or other.

Are they satisfied? Or is there something more in the card? Don’t know what is going to happen next. It seems even worse than the Raj days. At least at that time we had a consolation that the tyrants were not our own people. Even that consolation is gone now.
Don’t know where our beloved Bharat is heading. Ab to bhagwan hi maalik hai.
