India is the most entertaining country in the world.

Journalists in India have been excited about the US presidential election and the referendum on leaving the EU in Britain so they have neglected the entertainment in India. Bihar Police have arrested 3 students who came first in their respective streams in school leaving exams but could not answer simple questions put to them by journalists. Attention has been centred mostly on 17 year old Ruby Rai, who said that political science is about cooking. This is Bihar where Ms Rabri Devi was Chief Minister for around 8 years in total despite being completely illiterate, so obviously degrees do not matter. What is Ms Ruby Rai's crime? Her parents paid the bribes, examiners took the bribes and someone wrote the exams in her stead. She benefited passively. Her crime is that she was being an obedient daughter, as is expected in the Indian patriarchal system. After all, the Bihar government has money to buy presents for politicians but not to pay teachers, so why will they teach. In Delhi a 17 year old, convicted of murdering a child, was released after 2 months, only to murder an old lady. The most brutal of the 3 rapists in the 2012 gang -rape in Delhi was released after 3 years. His name was never released and he was known simply as 'the Juvenile', whereas Ms Rai has her photographs plastered everywhere. Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister, Odd-Even Kejriwal is becoming increasingly bizarre everyday. Yesterday, the Ghazipur Vegetable Market Association filed a police complaint about some threatening behavior by the Deputy Chief Minister, Manish Sisodia. Kejriwal tweeted that Sisodia would surrender to the Prime Minister so 65 AAP politicians marched towards the the PM's residence this morning. Kejriwal apparently has a degree from IIT but seems unaware that the PM has no authority to arrest anyone. Kejriwal and Sisodia both ran NGOs, which is how they met. According to the Delhi High Court 99% of NGOs are fraud and money making devices. Oh dear. When a MLA of his party was arrested for molesting women Kejriwal accused the Prime Minister of imposing Emergency on Delhi. Would he have had the guts to abuse Indira Gandhi in such foul language during the real Emergency in 1975? After the Brexit referendum in Britain Kejriwal wants a similar referendum in Delhi. Is he intending to secede from India? Another great leader, Rahul Gandhi is apparently in London. Wonder if he voted in the Brexit poll. He taunted Modi on the failed NSG bid on Twitter. Why is he happy? Surely, if he is an Indian citizen he should be unhappy. Unless, of course, he is a British citizen or he really is Raul Vinci. No need to look anywhere else, all the entertainment is here.
