[Assam] poem and news : The true story about encounters with Maoist in West Bengal

[Ram Sarangapani]

Uttam,

Saw the write-up in the TOI yesterday.

>If Rich getting richer is the only index of maturity of the Indian system

These are your words and the definition for maturity of the Indian system.

Even in mature democracies like the UK or the US, one may find some people
left out of the system. But these are the near perfect examples we have.

The Indian system has a long way to go, and it will take a whole lot of
maturity for the country to give the Rameshwars of the world a fair deal.

--Ram
