Thank you for the questions you have raised. I would like to say that though the above mentioned cases may have been delayed, but justice has been delivered. The accused in all these four cases are serving a life term imprisonment,which they deserve. And just for a handful of cases in which justice was delayed, we cannot blame the whole judiciary for that. There have been innumerable cases where justice has been quick.Indian democracy has not failed in any case. And its not that India is the only place where sometimes these things happen. Look at the Kanishka bombings case of Canada, it has been 25 years and no justice has been done till now. The London bombing case has still to reach a decision. Does this mean that law has failed and everywhere people get away with strong links?
I agree that female foeticide is there, but I would like to say that this social evil has been among the illiterate section of the society. And all efforts are being made to stop it. Do you know that if the doctors carry out scans to determine the sex of the child,they can be arrested and given a harsh punishment for it? Isn’t it good that if there is a certain flaw,all Indians are united in stopping it? No educated Indian indulges in this. We are girls. We are on this earth, and we will make our nation proud of us.
I think the Babri Masjid judgement has been a very peaceful one. There has been no hypocrisy, just a step ahead to maintain peace and harmony between Hindus and Muslims. And this is the need of the hour.
And regarding the CWG, I would say that it has been a major success despite all the hurdles. So maybe now you can’t say that it was a mess. Because the final result has made us even more PROUD of our country. And many sportsmen are getting a chance. CWG is again a perfect example of that. So many faces have made us proud. So it no longer remains the game of just Sachin Tendulkar or Viswanathan Anand, the newcomers have been given the best chance. I agree that because the population of our country is large, so maybe not every single person is given a chance, but then ‘Where there is a will,there is a way.’Those who had it in them, surely made it, be it any field. This makes me feel proud.
Lastly, I would like to raise a question to you regarding the architectural heritage. Again I would say that the measures taken have reduced this problem too. With due respect to your writing about Taj Mahal, I would like to ask that should we not be proud that it is one of the wonders of the world? Many countries have many monuments,which fail to reach the list. And the refineries that were spoiling this precious monument are either shut down or given deadlines. Should not we feel proud that our past is being respected throughout the world ,and will be in the future also?
In a nutshell, I would say that nobody is perfect. India is trying to be perfect, and is soon going to be the next superpower. With all its flaws and the measures taken to correct them, I say that I am proud to be an Indian!
