its 1911 hrs on 28th nov... the media and the people are going crazy cheering the commandos... and i cant help but remember this was the same media that cried abt the multi thousand crore "burden" that the sixth pay commission was going to be to the tax payer... there were polls being done about if the Armed forces were justified in asking for equivalent pay packages... nobodys on the street said how they already get enough... and the media ran its sms program...quoting a friend of mine - every profession gets bastardized and this is the bastardization of the media. they have turned now...everyone is for the sixth pay commission...every one remembers the soldier now and praises him... and i wonder how long will this last... till the time the next news story hits... or the budget deficit ticks to a higher number... i wonder how long will it take for the media to start harping about human rights... starts questioning the ways of the army... and how much it should be paid...i give the media and the public 3 months to turn against the same commando... the same army man.
and that soldier will still stand at the border...protecting us through this cheering... through the sms saying he doesnt deserve to be paid more as it might hurt my next mall trip...through the hue& cry about human rights.... through the IAS officers robbing him of his rights... because that soldier is the only one who knows what it means to be an Indian
