i have been in the US for the past year or so and what I have come to realize is that Americans need to have fewer guns and Indians more.
India is a weak state. A REALLY WEAK state. Indian goverment is a bunch of leeches living off of the population that has to pretty much fend for itself. the man on the street is shit scared of the police and the non-functional justice system. the only people these mtherfkers dont scare with their 303s are they ones they are supposed to – the criminals and terrorists.
doesn’t it make perfect sense then that the population should be allowed to defend itself? sure it does, but this is one of those mtherfking Indian things that should happen but nobody does em.
actually maybe the government is afraid it will lose control of the population if it were armed. thats for a few reasons: first, certain populations in India still haven’t reconciled with the fact that they are supposed to be a part of India and second, the entire government establishment drives the common man crazy, if he found a gun to vent his anger and demand accountability (or defend himself) there will be a lot of blood on the streets.
the first isn’t really a big problem because the system is so corrupt, pretty much every one who really really wants to get a gun can have an illegal one. but whos going to explain this very complicated logic to a fucking babu.
the second one meanwhile seems to be a very plausuble explanation. if i were a lousy government that bred incompetent law enforcement agencies that victimized the very people they are supposed to protect, then thats what i would do – not allow people to defend themselves.
moral of the story is: in india you are at the mercy of folks who are planning the next attack i.e. if they decide to strike in the time and place that you happen to be in, you are completely fucked…
