Sorry State of Affairs

12 soldiers were killed in a militant bombing of a bus carrying combat troops in Kashmir. No attention was paid to dead families by the men who rule the country. What a notorious act of neglect of patriotism. The whole country would be crying foul if Sachin Tendulkar had got a small hit on his helmet by a beamer by Shoaib Akthar. Jawans need to be treated with more respect and they are the ones who ought to be treated with most respect. Jawans are the reason why the inland India is safe. We are a country with troubled relationships with our bordering states and cannot afford any complacency from our jawans. If India needs to be pick up anything from America, it is really the respect they show for the Armed forces which safeguard their way of life.
