Recently there was a coup in Maldives and in past Bangladesh and Pakistan had their share of Military coups. Infact rumours of Chinese coup were heard not long ago. However if Someone comes to me and say there have had been a Coup in India , I'd say you must be kidding and go on with Day today chores . After the "C" story in Indian Express , I wonder how I may react . The "twitteratti" had gone crazy after the story broke . Its Shekhar Gupta's luck that virtual ranting doesn't kill people yet . As matter of fact , if it did , Many would have been dead . The outrage was quite disruptive .
A lot of dirty linen has been already washed in public between Govt. and COAS Gen. V. K. Singh . Every news is converting into a Saga, courtesy Media .Anything for prime time TRP . As per Nitin Pai's blog here , The story of coup would not have been printed without the consent of Govt . Still, the Govt. allowed a press to go ahead with a story whose magnitude is equally damaging to Army and Govt. Also he makes a point , "A Coup" is ruled out because its India .
For long , we have been taking pride for being largest democracy in the world and in recent times I have also read how we leverage being one . Alot of sighed in relief , when " Left front " pulled out of UPA-1 in 2008 and the govt. was able to get the threshold seats in parliament . The philosophy was stability and everyone I knew personally didn't want midterm elections. Being democratic country , we are a respected lot internationally , we counterbalance China and our market is growing steadily in terms of Investment .
The Army movements which happened on January 15th , is not a good sign. Army said it was usual where as many reports suggest , it ain't be . The last thing this nation wants is Anarchy or a military raj , we already have had a failed govt.
