SCPC: Are we heading to be a Banana Republic?

Dear Sir,

I am a regular visitor to your blog site & have been reading with interest about all the protests against the injustices meted out by the 6th. CPC & the earlier ones. Going by the coverages, or the lack of them, in the National media, print or visual, I wonder if all these are worth it. It seems that the media &, through them the public, is unconcerned about these issues. All they are interested in is that in case of wars or terrorist attacks, the Armed Forces should come forward & lay down their lives so that they can live peacefully. At best, you can expect some platitudes like 'brave soldiers', 'heroes', etc. I wonder if this country deserves the quality of our Armed Forces. Perhaps they deserve a Banana Republic type of Armed Forces.

Yours Sincerely,
MB Ghosh
