When are we going to have some self respect?????

It is very much clear that Bhopal gas tragedy has now become a judicial tragedy. There are more than one school of thoughts emerging as to how & why Mr. Anderson was blessed by the top politicians of that time to fly off the country without having any charges pressed. There are some political thinkers & good journalists- who covered that tragic drama of the nation's history- believe that the R. Anderson was given a "Safe passage" in order to satisfy Reagan administration. What the he** is that?? Can anybody justify government's decision to let the main culprit off only because we were not among the fast developing countries? Or because Rajiv Gandhi's government at the center was incapable of damning US diplomatic pressure- like his mother's government did? Gosh..!!! I was not even born at the time when this tragic incident happened. But after reading about all the saga, a kind of sickening emptiness hits me. I wonder how can people in the power remain at the helm of it when their deeds are actually hurting national pride & not only so, but keeping that wound fresh & burning!!
When I set my eyes on the current scenarios to see if there are any signs of maturity arisen after that tragedy, I turn nothing but depressed. What about Bt things which subject farmers to mercy of Bio tech companies for seeds? What about non conventional energy sources? When are we really going to come out of "Blame US for global warming" mindset? When the **ll are we going to pose counter mechanism in place for Chinese String of Pearls? When are our politicians going to forget caste based census & reach out to masses irrespective of caste & religion? When are going to execute the capital punishment for Afzal Guru & 13 others? Is Hon'ble President Pratibha Patil going to make a tough call on it or not? Lastly but most importantly, are we ever going to stand up as a strong knowledge-military-industrial complex & talk to others looking in the eye?????
I have no answer...
