A fascinating game is in progress. Fellow called Biti Mohanty from Orissa has been charged with rape of a woman. He jumped bail and has gone into hiding such that Rajasthan Police are unable to find him. His father B. B. Mohanty is DGP ( which means Director General of Police? ) of Home Guards in Orissa. Rajasthan Police allege that he was instrumental in his son jumping bail and is actively helping him to avoid arrest. The police obtained an arrest warrant for dad but when they reached Orissa they found that he was on medical leave and they returned without serving the warrant. Today's paper says that the police have obtained another bailable warrant for Biti but, of course, since they have no idea where he is they will be unable to serve the warrant. Meanwhile the woman, whose life was destroyed by the rape, must be laughing her head off at all this fun and games. If I were her I would be mystified as to why another bailable warrant has been issued for a person who has already jumped bail. How can a serving police officer be helping a person charged with a heinous crime? Why is he not being sacked or given other types of punishment such as losing his pension? Will the court take this behaviour as admission of guilt when the fellow is eventually arrested? Meanwhile Mr. Sonia Gandhi, who is effectively running the government, is busy trying to get a female nonentity selected as President of India. Surely India is the funniest country on earth.

Dr. Deb,
To take your attention away from our own sordid mess; I figured I'd ask you about the latest twist in the Salman Rushdie affair. Apparently our dear neighbour's foreign office seems to suggest that his being granted a knighthood 'justifies' suicide bombings. And before we go off laughing at them, given what happens in Bombay the moment anyone says anything insufficiently supplicatory about Shivaji, a bunch of goons go off burning stuff...
A failed state whose only reason for existence is the destruction of India. Ruled by the military, surviving because of alms from the US, it is a country that is gradually converting all of its people into talbans. Its govt. actively helps terrorists and its mint prints counterfeit Indian currency. Our govt is terrified of millions of this human flotsam coming as refugees when this country implodes.
