Silence is golden

Infosys has been labelled as anti-national and India Inc is silent! The ecosystem is relying on corporate biggies and government. Both appear to prefer backroom deals and making policies not boldly transparent in meeting the needs of India's vast majority! 

The Indian mind set also prefers government jobs, doles, more reservations caste based when the need is unity and to have less staff to become more efficient in public interest. 

The CJI mercifully has spoken out asking government why it is emasculating the tribunals like NGT, Consumer Commisions etc by holding up appointments due to "some law in the offing" (obviously without discussion with concerned parties) which the SC is unaware of!

The answer is obvious. For example NGT has fined Dhamapur Sugar Mills Rs 20 crore for violating many environmental laws as "both development and environment shall coexist and go hand-in hand". 

The government wants to brook no impediments in its "development" plans regardless of the havoc already caused in nature and to the locals including the fauna and flora! 

The world is silently watching the return of the Taliban with Pakistan and China just like we in democratic India our external and internal situation developing!
