..Yes, and how many ears must one man have,
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
- Bob Dylan, Blowin' in the Wind
Let's call this a plea to the deaf spineless political elite of India - to be strong, to show what it is meant to be leading the nation, to be answerable, to value the lives of the very people who have chosen them.
It doesn't take long for the plea of a billion people to turn into a battle-cry for sounding the death knell of this uber shameless spectacle. Let them not take matters into their own hand - let them not do A Wednesday on the Gurus and the Kasabs, let them not turn a Rang De Basanti on the Kalmadis and the Rajas.
