India Shining or India Whining?

Are we India Shining or India Whining? Thus asked a journalist in an article in The Economic Times.
It’s become common, the police standing by and the district administration twiddling its thumbs as the politicians do the ostrich act as mobs go berserk on the street.
The moment the police take a tough stand, all hell will break loose, with politicians falling over each other to set up enquiries when the rioters are injured by police action.
It’s a shame, all right.
And it’s also a shame that the real issues get muddied in the melee… are the Gujjars really tribes? Can tribe and ethnicity be changed by government order?
