The Indian subcontinent is one of God's great discoveries in several unusual way. Sometime past in its history it detached itself from the continental plate of Africa and made a lone travel all the way to the continental plate of Asia now comprising of China and Russia. It was known as Godawana Land and for millions of years this drift and detachment was within its veins and finally when it touched down on the Asian plate it was as if in great doubt an attachment that it first formed the Tethys sea and later the great Himalayas.
Did this detachment end there? Not quite. Ever since the time of independence we have been forming and getting used to the principle of detachment and this is particularly true to the political party which is presently running the country. The all prevailing and pervading detachment, if you may call it so, remains both in public and personal life of its citizens. The sense of that impeding gloom that comes with all sorts of attachment has become something like a smart card for the polity. It justifies itself by keeping a widening detachment to almost all things around it. Just look around the country and you will see a sense of this detachment in Telengana, Jammu and Kashmir, the North eastern states, the maoist attacks, the frequent terror attacks and the general apathy of the public system everywhere. Further, there is sense of great detachment in the implementation of proper sanitation, the spiraling inflation, the hikes of the essential items and the decreasing IIP data and the increase in unemployment. Worse still is the sense of detachment within the coalition. It has detached itself from its allies and has seen many of its allied party men in jails. Presently, it has detached itself from all public controversies within the party members themselves and has taken a denial mode ever since.
Is that detachment of all things except for that immense attachment to the throne alone. One cannot help wondering.
