I am glad that at least in one area, I see a significant change for the better.
For many many years, the heroic sacrifice of one's life in India did not receive the monetary compensation one would have liked to see given. I hope the following is a typical example of the families of poor victims of 26/11 being compensated. Quote Compensation Pawar's family may get: Rs 25 lakh from state, Rs 14 lakh from Railways; Rs 5 lakh from BMC; Rs 5 lakh from Baba Ramdev; Rs 5 lakh from the emoluments from the police department, including contribution, insurance and gratuity; Rs 1 lakh from the Congress; Rs 40,000 from a corporate house; Rs 33,000 a month for the next five years from a corporate house; 2BHK MHADA flat at Pratiksha Nagar, Antop Hill, worth around Rs 25 lakh.
