Apparently, the PM, the president and the defense minister didn't find time to attend his funeral.  I suppose hugging and kissing Desh drohis like the Commies is more important.

Shh....please dont say it loud....

We have a lot of Paki agents masquerauding as Secularists  who might pass on your post to their superiors and order a "number" on you.

notice the deafening silence and not a SINGLE post praising him - ddon't blame them...after all he was responsible for breaking up "their" country.

Even the Service chiefs were ordered not to attend to appease the 'minority' community as he was responsible for beraking up Pakistan. Whats surprising is that even the defence minister AK the "Faint" Antony couldn't make it as he would have "fainted' in the heat anyways...maybe it was good..only true friends and other heros were there to bid him goodbye...

Compared to this..GW would declare a three day state moruning and would be there personally..America knows how to honour its fallen Heros..India has a long way to go...

I heard he was a great military mind and strongly believed in keeping the military out of politics. May his soul rest in peace.
