Good analysis & thoughts.

But how come PM was in a distinct black car among the convoy of white cars??

Also, as i know, there should be more than one similar PM cars, with no inkling to anyone that PM has occupied which one??

Has SPG also got relaxed or is it a political compulsion???

very bad process. it was like drawing a target on his black car that totally stood out in a motorcade of white cars. i bet punjab told the SPG that the only car that was PM-ready was the black car.

of course. he is not perfect, but that very hatred is telling: it says that he's important to india's future.

It's somewhat chilling to read this, just like fiction. Maybe we should agree with what Chanakya had

said , at least on two points : danger from external sources, enemies helped from internal sources.

I believe the West does not want a powerful leader for India and it may go to any extent to get its job done. About internal spies helping internal enemies, it's a continuous war, like against Maoists,

Kashmir separatists, Khalistani sympathizers, not to speak of others. The incriminating evidence

against a plot to assassinate the PM by Mumbai Maoist sympathizers were thrown into the dump.

The SC knows only to castigate the Govt. but was embarrassed even by the farmers. They don't

act swift and take a tough stance on the real perpetrators, like the way it should be done. They interfere too much in simple, uncomplicated affairs like taking up frivolous petitions and issue

notices to the Govt.

the judiciary has become an albatross. on the one hand, there is no swift delivery of justice. on the other hand, they are doing over-reach into things they have no business being in. both are incompatible with a country that has strong rule-of-law.

It seems like it is the judiciary that is ultimately standing up behind and enabling subversion. Had it been possible for the center to employ art. 356 in WB and Punjab, and not be thwarted by the eminences, things may not have come to this pass.

the media and the judiciary, along with the bureaucracy, all need reform and accountability.
