Situation in Fiji

Dear Editor,

Indian government has once again failed it's people.This time the Fiji's of Indian Origin. Those enterprising Indians who went as Field laborer to a place thousand miles away in search of livelihood and ended of amassing huge fortune and fame in all walks of life by their sheer hard work.
The whole World is looking with shock and dismay on what's happening in Fiji.The terror tactics unleased by a group of barbaric, un-civilized Indigenous Fijians, who have no respect of Individuals, no respect for hard work and no knowledge of social behavior, have pushed the future of lakhs of peace loving and hardworking Fiji's
of Indian Origin to absolute un-certainty.
While Countries like Australia and Newzeland have been seriously condemning the act and have started taking retaliatory action against this barbaric way of throwing away a legitimate govt, India has been maintaining a peculiar silence over the issue.
Is this what Indians around the world expect from India? Whom would they look for in their time of distress? Would they ever feel proud of their ethnicity and Origin when their own compatriots are failing them. (This an extract from the statements of a prominent Fiji's of Indian Origin).
Today it has happened in Fiji..It may happen in somewhere else tomorrow, may be in USA where lives and properties of millions of successful Indians could be at stake then. With what moral right Promod Mahajan has been persuading Indians in America to pump in Investment? How does he expect that While we have so shocking failed to voice our protest on their behalf.
It's also Ironic that in a country where Media is so sensitive about every little thing, this issue has been completely sidelined, doesn't even get a proper coverage. And while all this is happening, our PM proceeds on holiday without even bothering to issue a statement in favours of those Fiji's who count on his help. May god save India and Indians.
