Competitive victimhood

A footnote (sort of) of previous post.

The biggest problem with Indian politics is that fed, for 50 years, with diet of socialist non sense, we have become hopelessly spellbound with "cult of losers".
Therefore it should be no surprise that every two penny soap box artist resorts to this terribly tedious enactment of egalitarian pathos. They do this because they are sure, that any claim to status of downtrodden trumps any appeal for reason.
This doesn't stop here, even our foreign policy is derived from a tepid concoction of verbose idealism and cringe inducing meekness.
Most morbid manifestation is in our media, with "serious" journalists going into raptures, every time some foreign celebrity or politician or businessman has something positive to say about India, or breast beating in the opposite case.

This trait, along with the propensity of overriding freedom through brute power of mob is what is wrong with this country.
