Is the Indian Leadership Deaf-Dumb?

This caricature was made on a gloomy morning when I found myself depressed thinking about India and its politics. I cannot fathom how the conscience of our leaders allows them to bicker endlessly while the country is falling apart.

Notes:
1. The turbaned person is Dr Manmohan Singh and the bald speaker is L K Advani, representing India's Government and Opposition respectively.
 2. Use of R K Laxman's Common Man:
 I am not sure what the copyright lawyers have to say about this, but I could not think of a better person on wheel chair for this.The drawing is mine, the character belongs to R K Laxman, one of India's greatest Cartoonist.

Curiosity crushed it. ---------------------------- Note: Curiosity  is a Mars rover launched by NASA that recently landed on Mars. It is a nifty bit of technology.

Our Democracy-A Farce (Part 2)

(Click here for 'Democracy-A Farce'-Part 1) Some time back I had posted a blog on our democracy being one big joke these days. I rejoiced when Dr Manmohan Singh’s government finally showed some spine and decided to go ahead with the nuke deal. But now I wonder if it was worth it? Politicians are a corrupt lot.
