POOR rich DEJECTED shining …BhArAt

Posted on January 13, 2007. Filed under: India |

[…. As the rich and the well-heeled made preparations to ring in 2007 in style across a new, shining India, a sleepy, poor housing area – Nithari – almost ruined their party…this case illustrates best the most barbaric and basic truth about the Indian state. That it has failed the country’s poor.
Nithari, in fact, is an example of how the poor and the weak have just no place in the Indian system.

Where else in the world could children be disappearing like they were in Nithari for more than a year without the police registering a case and investigating, even when the parents had alerted the police about their missing offspring?

Where else in the world would the courts have had to intervene just to ensure that the police did start investigations?

All Indians know the answer ….]
