Hollow rhetoric
One wonders where we stand today. Despite all security around the DU, we had another bombing incident on the campus. "The perpetrators will be found out and punished" the oft repeated empty rhetoric of the government without any purpose or direction follows as night follows day. Unfortunately for us the day of democracy is fading with the night of autocracy and tyranny setting in.
What we are busy doing is however acting out a drama or "tamasha" using the country as a stage, enshrined in empty "Banis", "Ahobans", "Adesh" and other similar grandiose dialogues from the heroes and heroines.
