Greetings

Krishna-ashthami is a time to remember the timeless lover of humanity: Krishna.
15th August is, of course, Independence Day in India - flag waving is the accepted thing on this day, though what freedom actually means in concrete terms eludes each and every one of us.
I mean, we have caste panchayats torturing and terrorising villagers and plainly flouting the so-called 'law of the land'.
We have just seen our parliament pass an impractical and flawed elementary education Bill and which takes away the perogative of schools to expel students, and dilutes discipline.
And we Indians are expected to 'celebrate' Independence on a dry, meatless day imposed by the state... talk about the 'freedom' of choice!
Jai Ho to Hypocrisy!!!
