<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->India might well be on its way to becoming a modern nation with a fast
growing economy but its politicians sure remain firmly rooted in medieval ages.
Vendettas, revenge, grudge matches, et al form the staple of its politics. For
proof do not go far. Witness how the Congress Party-led Government ofÂ
Manmohan Singh pursues the former Defence Minister George Fernandes.Â
Since the former Socialist stormy petrel has been one of the most bitter,
and uncompromising, critics of the Nehru-Gandhi family, the latter has its own
reasons to show him down. Since he has most assiduously exposed theÂ
wrong-doing and corruption of the Family, it causes little surprise that theÂ
latter wants to pay him back in the same coin. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
