Can a nation have inferiority complex? Individuals have it. But a nation? If the collective psyche of the individuals of the nation feel that their nation is not up to the mark or others are better and are envious of other's achievements it can have the inferiority complex. Then it does not act like the mongrel which put it's tail in between the hind legs and slither. It barks. It barks to its heart's content. What we are doing now.
And dogs bark but the caravan will go. The same way things will go on with no one giving much attention to this barking except for a non-committal apology. For what they should apologise at all!! For observing their procedure to the book?
I think the government should put in more attention when they select an envoy to another country especially a country with which we have much at stake. If it is some non-entity nation tucked in some godforsaken corner of the globe ruled by a tin-pot dictator, one can send any Tom,Dick and Harry. I fail to understand why our envoy to US get so much upset when the Security agent searched? On what ground? She should have known that diplomats are not exempted from security search as per US laws. It was foolish of her to flaunt all those papers. What would have worked here do not work there. Probably in US one can call the president 'Mr.President'. I am not sure of course. But here no one will dare to call Mrs.President I am sure. The previous envoy to US Mr.Sen has gone on record that he was also subjected to these. At least he did not make a scene. He quietly talked of this to US authorities.
Does anybody expect that US administration will pull up the person who did the duty as per norms? Had it been in India by this time the person would have been dismissed and jailed for misbehaviour.
All the patriotic janata has risen up in arms. They want to retaliate. Nothing short of stripping Obama or Hillary Clinton at IGAI. What an idiotic people.
All the civilized world must be laughing at our antics.
