A satire
Who rules India?
Ask them, son!
By Amba Charan Vashishth*
Son: Father, there's a great hue and cry over price rise.
Father: That's right, son.
Son: Why's the opposition targeting Government and Congress President?
Father: Because they run the government. People have voted them to power to administer public affairs, manage the economy.
Son: But, father, Dr. Manmohan says prices are rising because of global reasons beyond government control.
Father: Yes, he does say so.
Son: But who runs the government in India?
Father: Obviously, Dr. Manmohan Singh.
Son: Who's the Finance Minister?
Father: Another eminent economist P. Chidambaram.
Son: What are the two doing to manage the economy, control the unbridled prices and runaway inflation?
Father: Obviously watching the global trends.
Son: Will it do the trick?
Father: They know it better. They're wise people.
Son: But who rules the country – Manmohan government or the globe?
Father: Ask them, son. ***
