peaceful co-existence
Ours is a peculiar country. We have faith in any number of faiths. One of them decries the dress worn by a player; the result is that she drops in international rankings due to preoccupation of ensuring that there is no exhibitionism. On the plus side, she thumbs her nose at her critics and features on the cover page of the Times!

Another faith says that restrictions will be imposed on participants to the forthcoming Garba celebrations. Rams and Shyam who are really Ram and Shyam can only participate and not those who have names like Rahim and Salim and don the garbs of Ram and Shyam in an effort to hide their true identities. Obviously, those who have formulated such dictates have observed that innumerable youngsters follow this route to gain entries into the holy world of youth who gyrate to hit tunes with the accompaniment of the dandiyas – the intention is to discourage them. That the festivities are to be wound up by ten o’ clock every night is a different matter. One of the more innovative organizers have plans to take the celebrations to the high seas – specially rigged out boats will leave the shores in the evening and participants can make merry without the interference of the Law. The rulings of the Honorable Court are applicable only to the land and not the water. Congratulations to whoever dreamt up this wonderful interpretation.
Other examples of peaceful co-existence abound – we find politicians with criminal antecedents share the stage with clean politicians. The logic is – you are not a criminal unless the court rules that you are. And, that ruling will never come because those who have to arrive at that decision are human beings, they have their weaknesses in the form of families. Hence, in order to save themselves, the proceedings drag on and on and never come to a conclusion. Hence, the Law will always look the other way even if a warrant is out for your arrest. It has happened in the past and will continue happening. Bollywood would have us believe that solutions exist, macho men barge into the strongholds of corrupt politicians and shoot them down. But, fantasies can never turn into realities.
We are an extremely tolerant Nation.
