India has a billion people and more. But you are going to end up with a 76 year old man to 'act' as Prime Minister heading a higgledy-piggledy promiscuity of corrupt politicians filtered from the most cantankerous political outfits. Besides doing balancing act among these wire pullers and the madam, he has also to carry the responsibility of Finance and Foreign Affairs. I am not sure how far it is true but this MP from the Muslim majority riding is said to be a Christian convertee. One of his cabinet colleague when faced with the Pakistanis terrorising Mumbai could come out and say not a word of condemnation against the terrorists but hurl accusation that some Hindu despatcher had sent the ATS chieftains to face the terrorists so as to get killed!! The biggest act of diplomacy of this cabinet was to tell the whole world that they had verfied that accousation of the Muslim minister and found that his concern(!?) is not true. Bravo!!! This satisfied the minister so he decided to be part of the ministry. Wow!! With a defence minister who is a known Christian with job to pin terrorist label on the Hindus, with a VP who became a VP just because he is a Muslim and with the foreign lady who was only a bar maid but imagined that she was a graduate of Cambridge University but truthfully of the fascist breed as the mother superior - one would have to conclude that the billion plus are idiots! And what of those who think that this country which pisses in its pants and would be afraid to call those who blew up its financial capital as terrorists let alone smack them, is on the verge of being a super-power!
Pity!
Pity!
