I Pledge

Oh my god!!!! I'm filled with disgust at the recent mud slinging matches going on between BJP and UPA and Doordarshan and everybody's uncle over coverage of Amitabh Bachchan's hospital visit. MEDIA COVERAGE OF HIS ILLNESS AND OPERATION. what the fuck????? How can this be a controversy? People, who I'm sure cannot even pronounce, let alone spell his condition (its diverticulitis, in case you are wondering) are fighting over the screen time given to it. While we are at it, why stop here.... lets go the whole nine yards. Let us raise a hue and cry about "how young ladies dress seductively and act sexy and literally force drunken men to rape them and how maharashtrian women will destroy marathi culture and invite lecherous looks if they wear salwar-kameez instead of saris "

Ok... imho.... sari is a seductive attire (more so than salwar-kameez) and boys will be boys..... wrap a beautiful girl from head to toe in cotton wads...and she will invite lecherous looks.

Its things like these that make me livid. Recently on Dr. Ambedkar's death anniversary, groups of people without a ticket, boarded a mumbai bound train to goto some rally, and sexually assaulted a lady in the train. what the hell is this all about?

The point I'm trying to make here is this. Come monday and little children will go to school and in the morning assembly they will raise their right hand and say the student's pledge:
India is my country and all Indians are my brothers and sisters. I love my country and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage. I shall always strive to be worthy of it.
I shall give respect to my parents, teachers and elders and treat everyone with courtesy.
To my country and my people, I pledge my devotion. In their will being and prosperity alone, lies my happiness.

why is it the student's pledge? Are the grownups exempt from following the pledge? As Golu say - Adjust maadi, we are jesht like this only.
