human vs human

The moment Omar Abdullah began his emotional, justified and humane speech; words feel out of my mouth “he must be giving complex to other MPs”. He was a delight to hear.

The Indian politician’s are always seen as (by us) good-for-nothing people, but 25th july's great Indian political drama saw few good-for-a-lot politicians. To enter politics, in India, you do not require a degree or a kind mind to serve the public but a crook mind and few henchmen to fool and hew the gullible public.( I always wonder why do not we have an iitian, who slogged day-night to be one, on the Prime Minister’s chair. They have done enough for the Silicon Valley).

Exceptions are always there. Omar Abdullah’s Oxford graduate degree might only be a testimony to his rational and intelligent thinking but his trust vote day speech surely can fetch him a can-serve-the public certificate. (I do not much follow politics. There may have been previous such speeches by him, but for me this was the first)

His declaration “I am a Muslim and I am an Indian” was a fresh breath of air in this country, where you are considered a true son of soil only if you declare “I am an Indian” and forgo mentioning your religion. Is it fear or seeking “son-of-soil” label method or genuine feeling, I do not know.
