[Assam] post 26/11 - blame game continues among security agencies in India

[Chan Mahanta]

As much as I wish not to add insult to a grave injury, I must say 
that I can't believe the Indian intelligentsia and its press' 
preoccupation with SECURITY failures, while remaining stone deaf to 
the reasons why these increasingly frequent and violent episodes  of 
bloodbath is overtaking the country
and attempting to do something about it.

Add to that the cacophony of outrage against the corrupt and inept 
police and the political class; as if THAT is where all the 
corruption  resides or the ineptitude reigns.  How disconnected with 
reality can one get?

The irony of the folks who have elected, selected and held up to the 
world as the largest  democracy this rotten-to-the core and 
inept-beyond-words Indian governance and its recurring failures over 
the decades, now crying hoarse, is breathtaking if not laughable.
