trying to understand your angle

[ext_155389]

Hi,

I'm trying hard to understand the angle from which you are looking at this ceremony and the Singh memorial.

The way you describe the border ceremony, it looks like you experience it like the equivalent of a fan going to a soccer game. An minor improvement over angry mobs booing at each other from either side of the fence, but hardly a comfortable situation, I'd say.

Then there's the section on the Bhagat Singh memorial. As far as I can deduce from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhagat_Singh , he believed in his ideals so much that he killed a man. In my dictionary, the words "killer" and "hero" are mutually exclusive. A man that lacks the creativity to fight for his ideals without killing deserves pity. His life is almost guaranteed to be short and tormented.

Too bad you can't look at it from the POV of a traveler, Mark.

I am conscious of my lack of background on local sensitivities from your part of Asia. I just read wikipedia on Constitution day. Now that sounds like a good reason to celebrate, so I wish you a happy republic day!
