When the cream goes crap

Take a look at this article in Times Of India by Sudipto Majumdar... Now... read ahead... This is as ridiculous as it can get. The entire GoI and we as the general public should be ashamed that an upright officer was killed when he was doing his duty. This happens to many other such officers. So, where does the IIT angle come? Sudpito says (seemingly to Mr.Vajpayee)... Isn't this what you always wanted? Didn't you try convincing IITians over the years to stay back in India and make a difference? When someone tried, where were you? How can this even be thought of in terms of a FAVOUR...!! IIT belongs to India – its an Indian Institute, and if you stay in India post-IIT, it's the most natural thing to happen. I would agree if IIT was in nation X, and one chose to stay in nation Y after doing an IIT from nation X... then, and only then, you could say you were doing Nation X a favour...!! On that lines, if you go to US after studying in IIT, you are doing the US a favour, not the other way..!! Let me put this straight, we (and I mean all of us, IITians, Non-IITians, lawyers, doctors and everyone) are doing no favour to anyone by staying in India... We see a future here and hence, we're here. If Sudipto and a few others want to leave India for "a better future", they can go ahead... This country will do better without them. And notice these ridiculuous phrases Sudipto mentions... It pains me as an IITian --- Not as an Indian..?? A sense of betrayal troubles me... for having stayed on in India. --- Is the country of your birth so bad? This is no patriotism. Just a belief to stand up and do things differently. --- Makes no sense..!! My friends who emigrated then, with whom I differed in my beliefs, seem to stand corrected in retrospect - they were the real smart ones. I was among the romantic idealists who decided to stay and work in India. But I am lucky to be alive. May be because I didn't stretch my honesty and idealism as far as Satendra did. --- who is vindicated here..?? The people who stay back are idealists... Lucky to be alive..?? Are we living in a war zone..?? Sudipto dares of having done his motherland a favor. It is a matter of immense shame to the whole of the prestigious community that he represents. A sardonic representation of ideas reflecting the mindset of some of the people who are known as the "Indian Elite".
