Where Are We Headed?

Every day, my morning in the office starts with news back home in India. Nothing much has changed in the last 3 and a half years that I have lived outside. The news is the same, the issues are the same, the political leaders are the same, justice still grants bails based on the number of on screen appearances you have made.
Today morning, I read a piece of news which can be seen via this link. The story just goes to point the sorry state of mind many individuals and groups have in our country. Value of life is at its lowliest and personal agenda and petty political differences makes life of our countrymen worse by the day. A young boy of 4 died enroute to the hospital. Why? He was in the ambulance and the ambulance could not reach the hospital in time because stupid party workers of BJP and Congress had blocked the road for rallys. The boy's father had to run with the kid in his arms even after the mother's plea fell to deaf ears.
The question is not about letting an ambulance through, or having consideration for a 4 year old life and now grieving parents. The state government has already put a price tag to the boys life. They have announced 2 lakhs to the parents. IT IS A SHAME!
These very political leaders and party members should be ashamed of calling themselves humans, let alone Indians. What do these political rallys achieve? Better life for the citizens of this country? Better medical facilities? Better education? What is the purpose? Riots over religion, fights over who will rule the "Treasury" of the country.. and the end result is just one.. another innocent blood smeared on the conscience of the working class of this country. No one cares who the boy was, no one will even remember the name of the kid, no one will send their heart felt condolences to his parents.. because, we as country men/ brethren , do not recognize our own family any more.. we are not one country, no.. not anymore..
