Why is Raj Bala in hospital and why is she fighting a battle with death? Isn't it because of the same government that is portraying itself as people-friendly? In contrast, media-savvy lawyer-ministers who pretend to be omniscient know-it-alls speak with cunning and cold-blooded calmness in press conferences as if it is no big deal. Oh, is the 'tamasha' of Indian politics actually laughing matter? The common man has become desperate for reprieve and there is some hope from some vigilant quarters (Anna Hazare...). May their breed grow!
If the government and those running it from the power-centres of Delhi had a human heart, they will NEVER inflict injury and suffering on any citizen, leave alone peaceful citizens who mean no harm.
It is such a shame that we tolerate injustice so easily...
We can only hope for a better society and believe Shelley when he says, "If winter comes, can spring be far behind?"

your write up seems to have stemmed from an emotionally stirred heart but politically unaware head. true democracy faces its greatest perils from people like you.
Even if it is "politically unaware" and "emotionally stirred" I would like to believe that the woman who had reached the fast venue deserved better treatment from the government... She is in a critical condition and this is unacceptable, considering the fact that she wasn't waging a war against the unity and integrity of the nation. I think every human life is valuable.
Also, if you feel there is more to it than meets the eye, why don't you enlighten us? I shall be grateful if you added an insight or two to your comment.
