Is there no end to this misplaced concern of the politician

Did not even for a moment feel secure when I read of the Kerala govt's decision to send a senior bureaucrat to render all help to the four 'Malayalee victims' of the M'bai train blasts. While we saw and heard of the spirit of the Mumbaikar, one was left wondering if our home grown politician, this side of Walayar would ever know how to respond to such an event as an "INDIAN". We have got so used to responding to the situation of the Malayalee in the Gulf that we forget that M'bai is in the Indian union. It must have been the most embarassing moment for the Malayalee Mumbaikar when the news of the emissary from Kerala being sent back appeared in the press.

By this same logic, does it mean the Bengali, Tamilian, Kannadiga and the Sikh (the few that are here) in Kerala may have to wait for their respective state govts to come to their aid in case of a crisis within the borders of Kerala.

The Mumbaikar (Malayalee) may be living in concrete jungles, travelling great distances to work and putting up with a lot of inconveniences, but, ask them if they'd come to Kerala if a better life is assured here. You can be sure it will be a miniscule that will accept the offer. God's Own Country is not the creation of the Malayalee. What have we done to enhance the quality? The least we have done in our social interaction is to improve our EQ and that shows up miserably.

The politician of course goes thru life in a haze and daze! Wonder if he thought that response to the M'bai train blasts would earn him/govt goodwill, which would translate into votes???
