Independence Day - a Nightmare.

Happy Independence Day!

On this auspicious, incredible 65th Independence Day celebrations, here is a special gift:

A Special Police Officer and a Territorial Army jawan staged a killing for "benefits".  That's right!  These two produced a dead body for personal gain.  Gain FROM the government.  Moral of the story - Indian Government rewards killing.  Thank you Mahatma Gandhi.

>>>"We had engineered this encounter, in which one civilian was killed, for post, rewards and money," arrested Special Police Officer (SPO) of the Special Operations Group (SOG) of J and K Police Noor Hussain told a press conference in Surankote area here.<<<

What is chilling about this is the use of the word "engineered".  This is premeditated murder, a planned execution.  We have put people in uniform that have taken it upon themselves to use unarmed civilians, not as target practice, but as bounty! 

How low do these pigs have to be for this to even begin to run as a thought?  How low do these vermin have to stoop and which other nation could have produced such low thinking?  Thinking so low, that makes genocide look like a noble venture.

A living person was turned into a dead body so that promotions, rewards and money could be obtained.  Which other nation would put a human life below promotions, rewards and money?

The responsibility placed upon this Special Police Officer was to protect civilians from militancy, but he and his Territorial Army cohort have taken it upon themselves to kill civilians themselves!  I'm not scared of terrorists.  I'm petrified of government authorized assassins, thugs and murderers.

>>>The other accused and TA jawan Abdul Majeed said: "There was no involvement of any officer or official of Army and police in the encounter."<<<

Oh, thanks a lot.  I'm happy with the Army officials being busy with cornering shady land deals and denying war widows homes that were meant for them.  As for the police, I'm happy if they stick to petty crimes like demanding bribes from traffic non offenders.  Seriously, we should believe a murdering thug's words on this?  Insult to injury?  I think not.  Just a laugh to top off the apathy we have accrued over the years with mercenary ambition.

We are celebrating independence from what?  I have long since stopped saying things like "proud to be an Indian", but now I wonder how much more I have to suffer for unwittingly and involuntarily being born in this rotten, corrupt, spineless and outright evil nation called India.  I am sick, and turning more toxic with each passing day and the unearthing of every new low India has sunk to.

Every bloody day, there is at the very least, one news item, that doesn't just report a crime, but one that tears out one more thread from the already flimsy fabric of India's national character.

A study that came out a few weeks ago found India to be the most depressed country.
http://www.indianexpress.com/comments/study-says-india-most-depressed-country/822950/  So, we're not just really screwed up, we're depressed too?   Superstitious people, please tell me - was it a good idea to become independent at midnight?  Surely, some forces of darkness took hold of us since that fateful day in 1947.

A friend sent me this news item recently, telling us that India TOPS Academic fraud!  http://www.deccanherald.com/content/183621/india-tops-academic-fraud.html

Is there ANY field of endeavour where India is not compromised and trying to get lower in some way?  We cannot build a bridge without some contractor pocketing some money illegally.  We cannot lay a road without a lot of money being siphoned away from the quality of the road.  We have pilots with fake licences, sportspersons taking illegal drugs, undeserving people getting driving licences and driving like lunatics, our coast guard unable to spot terrorists coming in from the sea, and we have people DYING because of all the above.  DYING!  Nothing less.  Isn't life called the "ultimate price" for some reason?  What more do we have to pay with, before our rotten nation can wake the fuck up?

We make tall claims but never deliver, except for our cricket team, which has been bashed mercilessly now for losing one series!  Even though the rest of the nation ranks 119 on the Human Development Index, we still want to bash the World Champions we have miraculously produced.  We have fraud in the Public Distribution System, widows of jawans have to pay bribe to get their measly pensions, educational institutions charge illegal donations, our public hospitals are nothing but deplorable concentration camps, and we have people shitting in the open, SIXTY FOUR fucking years after we became independent.  But we have no problem "discussing" what to do with pigs who looted the nation to the tune of lakhs of crores of rupees.  What the hell is there to discuss?

I don't see a difference between the thieves involved in the 2G spectrum scam, and these low level thugs in uniform that went on a rampage to kill some poor unconnected soul to manufacture this dead body the government rewards.  With more such murders, some of these bastards would be receiving medals on Independence Day and Republic Day, and our little children will hero worship them!  Scary thought?

I want these two bastards impaled by spears and paraded on a special "war on crime" float at Red Fort when Manmohan Singh delivers his limp and lame, often repeated address to the nation.  Then I want that float to reach Janpath

We can segue to the fasting by Anna Hazare in Jantar Mantar.  Then I want these two burnt carcasses hung from India Gate, where all the tourists can see we are serious about our national character.

Then this will be my Happy Independence Day.  Until then this will be my nightmare.
