The headlines this morning scream in your face the kind of country we're living in. And it is ironical that today after hoisting the flag, commemorating India's Republic Day, one should settle down over Morning tea to read that an honest Additional Collector (a rare breed) was burnt alive by Maharashtra's oil mafia when he conducted raids in Manmad (around 260 kms from Mumbai).
Read the details of the case here.
It is a great shame that this incident has to happen a day before India pauses to celebrate its status and spirit of being a republic.
I wonder if such incidents abound, people will be inspired to be upright and honest and take up the case of corruption. Maharashtra CM Prithviraj Chavan has already announced a compensation for Sonawane's grieving family, of Rs. 25 Lakhs and a state government job for one of his family members.
But the CM has a major responsibility to fulfill to ensure that such incidents don't happen his his state, else Maharashtra's image as one of India's most progressive state is definitely in jeopardy.
