I am amazed by all the fine ideas being generated by our friends to make desi-demokrasy accountable and transparent.
Allow me to enumerate them for posterity:
** People need to become more moral.
** People need to elect the good people. ( Obviously desis
have a problem in figuring out who is good and who is bad, unlike
all these fine wise folks of Assam Net)
**Assam better produce some good leaders, or else ( the inference
here would be that those other states in India must have good
leaders, how else are they doing so much better than Assam?)
** NGOs are the salvation. Assam needs more good NGO's. (With
enough of them, the dysfunctional GOs could be dumped and
we will see Assam prospering and living happily ever after)
** And now we have yet another great idea: Investigative
journalism to the rescue.I am quite sure DNB will be tickled to death to read about these fine interpretations of his litany of kharkhowa woes by some of Assam's best.
I am quite sure Tarun Tejpal of Tehelka would be too. Maybe it would not be that good an idea to show it to him, without checking if he has a heart condition. It might kill him from laughter. DNB himself could be driven to write a testy article on kharkhowa reading comprehension, considering how the Sentinel's efforts on educating the clueless on the state of Indian govt's. transparency as demonstrated by the pathetic toothlessness of the "Right to Information" laws; laws that are routinely enacted, ritualistically, only to be discarded and even perverted once the rites are over; did not register on this august body of fine
Netters.
Yours Sarcastically.
