Fwd: It happens in INDIA too ...

THE CONFUSED NATION (INDIA) THAT WE ARE...

A policeman kills a leopard that is actually attacking a villager,
And instead of being felicitated he is booked for the crime of saving a
human being at the insistence of some Wildlife Organisations.

A nation where
Rice is Rs.40/- per kg and SIM Card is free.

A nation where
A pizza you have ordered reaches home faster than an ambulance or Police,
even if you were being murdered or having a heart attack.

A nation where
A car loan is charged at 5% but an education loan, so necessary for our
Youth, is charged an interest of 12%.

A nation where
Students with 45% get into elite institutions through the quota system and
those with 90% are sent away because of merit.

A nation where
A millionaire buys a cricket team, spending crores instead of donating the
money to any charity.

A nation where
Two IPL teams were auctioned at 3,300 crores,
Yet still a poor country where people starve for two square meals per day.

A country where
Ordinary salary tax payer is punished/fine for error in paying little less
in tax,
But
The IPL collecting thousands crores has not paid any income tax
And no body has issue on it.

A country where
Footwear is sold in AC showrooms,
But
The vegetables we eat,
Are sold on the footpath
And
Very often next to garbage dumps.

A nation where
Everybody wants to be famous, not by doing good for others,
But
By looting others and finally getting their names in the newspapers through
some scam or other!

Its a strange nation
We live in, where assembly complex buildings get ready within a year
While
Public bridges, flyovers and sea kinks take several years even to get off
the drawing board
And
Another decade to be completed.

A nation where
We have malls, and sky-rises, with slums forming their boundary wall.

A country where
Men and women squat on railway tracks, with no where else to go...
While
Watching them from windows, are couples with three bathrooms and one for the
guests

A country where
Politicians who are supposed to serve the people accept money from the same
people they are supposed to serve,
Then
Take a salary from the government for their services to the people

We are a nation where
We talk in hushed whispers about the corruption in the country and then dig
into our pockets to bribe a cop when we are caught cutting a red light.

A country where
To get service in police needs minimum qualification a graduation,
Whereas
No qualification is required to get elected to run the government.

A country where
Our soldiers are arrested on border and jailed by neighbouring countries
And
Do not get proper food/ facilities,
Whereas
Militants from neighbouring countries when arrested and jailed in our jails
are served biryani on demand.
