Ethnic Responsibility!!!

It seems that politics in India has taken one step back again. Recently the elected MPs from the state of Tamil Nadu protested that Tamil people in Sri Lanka were being harassed. They demanded the Central Govt. to intervene saying that the Tamils of India and those of Sri Lanka are linked by a common thread. Unless the Indian Govt. intervenes they are ready to resign. What about those innocent and gullible common people of the state on whose votes they had become MPs at the first place. The most presposterous idea is what right has India got to intervene in Lanka's internal security and political manners? So does this mean the MPs from Punjab will resign because Punjabis in faraway Canada are being mercilessly beaten.!!! They are now Canadians and India can't do anything. What about Biharis living in countries like Mauritius and Guyana? What about Pakistan interfering saying that Muslims in India are harassed? Same is the case with Tamils in Sri Lanka. Although ethnically similar, they belong to different nations now and interfering is out of the question.
Knowing fully well the disastrous consequences faced by the Indian Peace Keeping Forces in 1987 under the able stewardship of Late Rajiv Gandhi(loads of sarcasm he he) , Indian Govt. shouldn't bat an eyelid before dismissing these so called bunch of sycophants and restoring order among the administrative machinery of this particular state. I also hope that this Govt. won't blow away this last bit of hope the T.N public has kept on it.

Long live the sanity of Homo sapiens race.
