Couple of days back in Gurgaon, Haryana two fourteen year old boys had an argument with a classmate. One boy then pulled out a gun and shot his classmate four times in the back as he was climbing the school bus. He then passed the gun to his friend who fired a final shot into the already dying boy. A few days back a seventeen year old school boy received a new motorcycle from his father. That evening he was driving at great speed with a friend sitting at the back and crashed head on with another motorcycle carrying two other boys. All four died. It is a common site to see children, some as young as eleven years old driving cars and motorbikes often with passengers. What kind of monstrous parents would allow an underage child to drive or carry guns. Strangely you will never see police stopping and arresting underage drivers but they are busy catching legitimate car owners and fining them for not renewing thier pollution certificate every three months. Strange how everything comes down to politicians and the kleptocrats. These people and their friends have vast quantities of black money and do not know how to show their wealth. India has more property dealers per square mile than any other country in the world. Most of these are criminals engaged in land grabbing, illegal construction, selling the same property to many different people and crimes of similar nature. They generate the money which is used to finance their elections whereupon they become ' elected representatives of the people ' and immune from prosecution. No wonder ordinary people are also becoming increasingly violent. Reports of thieves or pickpockets being beaten to death is common. Traffic accidents are frequently followed by local people attacking the police. Such is the suspicion and hatred for all politicians that people will not allow companies like Posco and Tata to set up steel plants because they are afraid their land will be forcibly handed over by sarkari fellows. Hence Nandigram. Perhaps we will end up as a country of bandits.
