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.
