Act 1: Let me tell you a story about an old man who lived in a small village somewhere that does not matter. It all began when the man’s sons came to him and told him that some people from the neighboring village had stolen a chicken from their farm. The old man told his sons to go after the thieves and recover the chicken.
The sons said, “Father, it’s only one chicken. We have hundreds of chicken. One won’t make a difference.” The old man said, “Do what you please.”
A few days later, the thieves stole a goat. Once again the old man told his sons to not let them get away with it. The sons said that they have dozens of goats and it’s not worth the trouble. The next week it was a horse. Once again the sons rationalized it away saying that they still had six horses that the farm needs.
Finally, the next week the sons came back to report to the old man and said, “Father, our sister has been abducted. What shall we do?” The old man said, “It’s too late. You should have recovered the chicken. Now there’s nothing you can do.”
* * *
Act 2:
I heard this story from an expat from New Zealand who runs a very successful school in Singapore. David told me that in the early years of Lee Kuan Yew’s government, a minister was suspected of having taken a bribe. People said that since the minister was a close associate of LKY, in all likelihood the man would get away with it.
But as it happened, LKY had a brief chat with the minister one afternoon. The next day the minister went out with a bang — he put a bullet in his head.
Singapore is one of the least corrupt nations in the world. LKY’s policy is simple: zero tolerance for corruption. That’s so because he himself is incorruptible and therefore does not tolerate corruption. The wages of public corruption is death. People know it and act accordingly.
* * *
Act 3:
India’s appointed prime minister is Dr Manmohan Singh. Under his watch, the most egregiously blatant instances of public corruption have taken place. His ministers and other office holders have been involved in acts of public malfeasance that are stunningly incredible — but for at least a significant segment of Indian voters, it is quite alright. They appear to take it as if it’s nothing out of the ordinary. The rulers are going about the rape of the land and the people just lay back and supinely accept it.
We are talking figuratively about rape but Dr Singh’s misgovernance has descended into literal rape. Not just rape, gang rape. Not just gang rape, it has finally hit (one hopes) the rock bottom into murderous gang rape.
The 23-year old woman who was gang raped in a New Delhi bus died in a hospital in Singapore.
* * *
Act 4:
They first stole a chicken.
The Congress government under Jawaharlal Nehru was involved in corruption. The news papers reported it. Nehru responded saying that the reporters were being silly since corruption is a global phenomenon and there’s nothing to get all excited about.
Then they stole a goat.
Nehru’s daughter nationalized many sectors of the economy, thus making public office attractive to the most criminally corrupt. The people of India did not disapprove. They in fact voted her back to power.
The stage was set for horse thieves.
* * *
Act 5:
Some people started waking up to the reality. They realized that somehow the system was not working. They heard the call from a chosen few and gathered to register their protest. The government followed the time-worn strategy of attack being the best form of defense. They sent in their baton-wielding cops and the crowds — leaders too — beat a hasty retreat.
The lesson the appointed prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh’s government learned was that it does not take a whole lot to put the people in their place — the place of course being that the people in the government are the rulers and the people are serfs.
For around a century, a few hundred million Indians were the serfs of a few thousand British. Now it is different. India is under self-rule.
An Italian, Antonia Maino aka Sonia Gandhi, and her bunch of sycophants led by Digvijaya Singh are ruling about a thousand million Indians.
Well, perhaps it is not all that different. Though Maino’s father was a fascist. That could make the British Raj 2.0 a little more vicious than the British Raj of pre-1947.
* * *
Act 6:
It tickles me no end when I hear talk about India being a free country and a democracy with universal adult franchise. Every adult has the vote and therefore is in some sense responsible for the kind of government. In my opinion, India is a kakistocracy — government by the most corrupt and the least principled. Indians freely elect these people. And among the elected are criminals who have been charged (and many convicted) of rape and murder.
The guys who gang raped the unfortunate woman on the bus in New Delhi a few days ago share at least some of the characteristics of the law makers of India: their criminality. A significant numbers of Indians vote for these kinds of criminals.
* * *
Act 7:
I hear that the despicably dishonest appointed prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh’s government moved to shut down protests in New Delhi by closing down a few metro train stations. Perhaps the people will back down and go home.
If they don’t back down, I suppose the unfathomably dishonest cretin, the appointed prime minister Dr Singh will probably escalate the situation till we see tanks on the streets of New Delhi.
The sister has been abducted.
And if I were a betting man, I would place the bet that the people are not going to do anything about it. Come next elections they will vote for Antonia Maino aka Sonia Gandhi and her henchmen.
* * *
Act 8:
Antonia Maino aka Sonia Gandhi and her gang of vile henchmen are unprincipled criminals. But they are not stupid. Their moves are calculated to push the boundaries and they know precisely what they can get away with. They know precisely how much they can steal and yet be elected. They know precisely how many backs they can break with their police lathi-charge and still the people will not lynch them.
Indians have an amazing capacity for tolerating injustice.
It was an American, born a slave but who understood the dynamics of slavery, who put it best over a century ago. Frederick Douglass (1818 – 1895), the renowned American abolitionist wrote, “Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them . . . The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”
The rulers are not unintelligent. They would not be where they are if they were not the most accomplished criminals. They make the laws, don’t you know. They dictate the terms.
They control the press. The press provides the cover for them and they in turn protect those in the press that do their bidding. The Ghoses, the Sardesais, the Dutts — these are not unimportant players in this sordid play. They are complicit in the figurative rape of India and are handsomely rewarded for their prostitution.
* * *
The Final Act
No doubt for a few days the twitterati will be screaming bloody murder. A few thousand will go on candlelight vigils. In a few weeks, another distraction will occupy the talking heads on TV. Cricket will take over the collective psyche. And of course the sordid stories of Bollywood shakers will move the public to other concerns.
Talking of journalists, I am reminded of what the legendary American radio broadcaster Edward R Murrow (1908 – 1965) said. “A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.”
Yes, India does have a government of wolves because India is a nation of sheep. The tyrants like Dr Singh know well precisely how much oppression the Indian public is willing to endure.
The rape of the land and the people — literally and figuratively — will continue.
Atanu Dey : Life is a Random Draw 
Shock, denial, anger, depression, acceptance. We never seem to progress beyond this point on the curve. I suspect because we are seeing for the firs time in front of our eyes the slow dissolution and disintegration of the unwritten social contract that underlie Indian society for millennia with no new contract to replace it.
Lee Kwan Yew was against corruption for a very good reason. For a long time Singapore’s sole competitive advantage vis-a-vis rest of Asia was that it was the only place where the rule of law prevailed – not even in Japan. Singapore had nothing else to build on.
Very interesting post. Absolutely share your concerns. Although you cannot be accused of even a shred of sentimentality in the way you write, the pain you feel comes through. Perhaps even more strongly.

Great article that goes right to the heart of the problems afflicting India using the context of the Delhi gang rape and the subsequent politicking. Also, the article clearly identifies who is responsible for brutal events such as this gang rape. The current media discourse is all over the place blaming India’s patriachial society and its misogynist mindset and the culture of gendered violence etc.; but this article is spot on in analysing why similar events (though not as brutal as this one) happen in India quite frequently.
Tolerating criminals seems to be such a deep rooted aspect of India’s society across rich and poor regions that even a state like Gujarat which is seen as a model of governance has approximately 1/6th (32 MLAs out of an Assembly total of 182 MLAs) of its ruling party law makers having criminal cases against them including rape.

Hi Atanu, while I understand where you’re coming from, this article is an over-simplification of a far more complex problem. Today there is practically no way to appoint or elect an honest government as long as the “sheep” operate within the laws of the land, because the leaders don’t. The rule of law applies to the common man while a different but commonly understood, loose, transaction framework applies to those in power.
The idiocy in this country is that we pretend to be a democracy and bleat about it, while life in reality is completely and totally governed by this alternate framework that governs everything from how much to bribe the cop who caught you to meet his quota for the month, all the way to the method for operating multi thousand crore scams and the channels for funds transfer upwards to our great leaders and out of the country into Swiss bank accounts. This is the only reality on the ground today.
To give you an example, my uncle owned a small plot of farm land for decades, which was inherited from our grandfather. All of a sudden we were served notice and dragged to court because a developer with powerful connections produced fake documents showing the land belongs to him. Now we are fighting in court because not only does the developer make a claim to the land but they are demanding rent with interest in arrears for the last several years. Examples like this are not only all too common but are the way of life.
The judiciary in this country is completely up for sale, people’s rights under the so-called law can never be guaranteed, property and monetary rights are up for sale, how do we expect any sort of business, entity or person who is not crooked to survive here?
The second part of the problem is the medieval mindset in this country. Take our khap panchayats, our attitude towards women, bride-burning, our close minded ness in the form of “my religion, my language, my caste, my state, nothing else concerns me”, and so on.
The third and biggest problem is our dear leaders exploiting the above two problems by fostering communal disharmony, vote-bank politics, and pitting every community against each other. Divide and conquer, the Brits did it, our leaders used that as a launch pad.
I have nothing but pity for those misguided cretins who bray about how we brought this all on our own heads and that we are to blame for choosing our incompetent leaders, because they will never see the truth that the systems in place today never gave the common man one iota of a chance for good and honest governance. It has always been heavily weighted in favour of the criminal leaders and against the well being of the common man.
Only when a critical mass of people are driven by this realization will we see real change, and that will a very tumultuous time. It happened in despotic regimes like Tunisia, Bahrain, Syria and Egypt, it must happen here if we’re to have a snowball’s hope in hell of improving anything about this nation that is rotten from the deepest core.

Sonia’s success only shows that Indians are modern and international in outlook and select the best available talent. BJP has been thrown out of Delhi and UP etc because it is without principles and without inspiring leadership. As events have proved, many BJP leaders were and are immersed in corruption. Indians do not tolerate fakes.

I think Indians need a new political party of young (30s to 50s), educated people who have skills from diverse backgrounds.
With the power of the web and mobile, they could easily win elections by starting a “rave party” phenomenon one week before the next election. This would take all the existing parties by surprise.
This means that educated people from all walks of life have to be brought together by the next election to present themeselves for elections and to prepare them for the formalities which need to be fulfilled.
The basic quality to choose the representatives are honesty, feerlessness, and capacity to manage. You can expect that many of these people will be killed if they win. Perhaps before.
Behind these people, we need to place the entire army of their parents (60s and above) who will sit in the background and organize charitably all the events.

Atanu, you have hit the nail on the head.
Last ditch effort to save democracy in India can be attempted by ensuring that:
i. all educated people MUST enroll as voters IMMEDIATELY
ii. all voters MUST exercise their voting right at all elections
iii. meet the candidates (at least of major parties and front runners) before the elections and discuss with them their party manifesto and their own commitment to the constituency. If the candidate is not prepared to sign on the agreed minimum deliverables, make prior arrangement to record the conversation
iv. choose the candidate who is best of the lot and is least arrogant and highly accessible, at least before getting elected
v. once elected, make it a point to meet him/her every month by appointment. If appointment is denied, or elected rep avoids calls, record these and send a written memorandum to him/her with copies to other party candidates
Sounds difficult. Yes. But we have to invest this much to retain democracy in India. Politicians are taking advantage of our non-involvement, particularly of the conscientious voters of the constituency.We may have to this for a limited period, so that our subsequent generations will have the fruits of our toil.
