A political leader surrounded by his Z security, Black Cats,
policemen and private guards climbed onto the podium to
address a crowd somewhere in some city in India. "Let us
cleanse the city!" he screamed into the mike "Follow me! Let
us cleanse the country!"
The men and women on the grounds looked up at the political
leader; they could hardly see him surrounded as he was by his
Black Cats, Z Security, policemen and private guards.
"Follow me!" shouted the political leader, "and if you see a
man or woman from a place different than yours hit him,
thrash him, kill him!"
"Hit him! Thrash him! Kill him!" shouted the frenzied mob.
"And then do you know what you should do?"
The worked up men and women on the grounds looked up at the
political leader, they could hardly see him surrounded as he
was by his Black Cats, Z Security, policemen and private
guards, "What should we do oh great leader?"
"Look hard at your neighbour! If you see he is not a son of
the soil then hit him!"
"Hit him!"shouted the crowd.
"Thrash him!"
"Thrash him!" shouted the crowd.
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!" shouted the crowd.
"And then do you know what you should do?"
The men and women on the grounds looked up at the political
leader, they could hardly see him surrounded as he was by his
Black Cats, Z Security, policemen and private guards, "What
should we do oh great leader," they shouted.
"See where he worships! If he worships in a place different
from yours, then?"
"Hit him!"
"Thrash him!"
"Kill him!"
The men and women on the ground looked up at the political
leader, suddenly they could see him! His Black Cats, Z
Security, policemen and private guards had all disappeared.
"Where is my security?" he shouted.
"They have gone home sir, their time is up!" said his PA.
"But I am alone!" whispered the political leader, "I can be
hit, smashed, killed!"
The people on the grounds looked up at their trembling
political leader without his Black Cats, Z men, guards and
policemen, "Shall we follow you and start hitting, smashing
and killing oh great leader?"
"Sssshhh!" whispered the leader, "Go home and go to bed!
Wait! Wait, let me come with you, I could be hit, thrashed
and killed without my security..!"
