Hypocrisy is the inborn character that distinguishes Indians from others. Take this case.
The State Government issued a notification declaring seven days State mourning as a mark of respect for the demised ex Prime Minister of India late Mr P V Narasimha Rao the first non Nehru dynasty PM and who completed five years term in office and was better know as Father of LPG -- Liberalisation Privatisation and Globalisation since early 1991 when radical reforms were introduced. The seven days mourning commencing from 23rd December, 2004 implying no government celebrations will end only on 30th December, 2004 Yet newspapers in Goa featured prominently a photograph showing the Governor of Goa a Constitutional figure head , a Catholic native of the seven sisters , North Eastern State of Nagaland a Mr S C Jamir, doing a brief jig with spouse in tow on the dance floor at the inaugural session of the "65 hrs non stop dancing party " where 31 contestants will dance non stop to vy for a place in the Guiness World Book of Records at the Radisson Resort in Varca Salcete Goa until New Years day. True this was a non Government event but could a constitutional head belittle the State mourning. The Governor Mr S C Jamir ironically also announced publicly to do away with the New Years eve celebration in view of the Tsunami tragedy that has affected South Indian States. How could then the Governor adopt a dual stand one wonders? GODFREY J I GONSALVES Borda Margao Goa [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
