2010 has been disappointing for me as an Indian

I don’t know if I should be happy that so many scams came through to public attention or I should feel bad and sick that they did occur and many more lay besieged from public scrutiny. What an awful year for us indeed, finally even the media gurus ended up being in the rut. I am terribly disappointed with 2010 as a citizen of this great land, I am happy it is ending and I hope 2011 will usher some action on this.

For me personally, I think the following were the biggest lows as a citizen of this nation (not necessarily in any order as each one hurts more than the other)

1. Unrest and breakdown of law and order in Hyderabad due to T-agitation
2. Terrorist bomb blasts in Pune and Varanasi
3. 2G Scam and Radia tapes simply made me cringe with absolute disbelief.
4. Kashmir Valley shutdown along with stone throwing by rowdy elements and inaction by Central government
5. Karnataka state government turmoil and double vote of confidence due to H D Kumaraswamy from JD(s) and the Governor himself.
6. Cheap tactics and fake fasting drama by Congress government in AP by letting off and withdrawing cases against rioting rowdy students involved in arson and stone throwing from Osmania University.
7. BSY from Karnataka and his gamble with land scams and inaction by high command in BJP.
8. Gujjar agitation and bringing the entire north to standstill, esp Rajasthan even when the issue is completely sub-judice. People want to move backward rather than move ahead.
9. Commonwealth Games 2010 and Suresh Kalmadi’s dastardly acts
10. Maoists attack on the CRPF personnel killing 80+ jawans on a single day and train bombing followed by PC’s lameduck answer and complete inaction.
11. Rahul Gandhi speaking to an US diplomat and giving color to terrorism and indicating that Hindu Terrorism as the biggest threat to India
12. Digvijay Singhs and Cong’s rant on Karkare, Nazism and RSS, etc – the cheapest bootlicker in Congress today
13. The complete shutdown of the Parliament during the Winter Session
