Yes! We are a “Banana Republic”.

So, a company can be started by putting in a share capital of Rs 100,000. DLF will be happy to give loans/advances of Rs 50 crore to this company.

Go and buy land with this money. Then sell the land to DLF at Rs 300 cr.

Book a clean profit of more than Rs 200 cr after repaying the DLF loan with interest.

And all this in a few months. From Rs 1 lakh to Rs 200 cr.

Wow!! What a business model?

Yes! We are a “Banana Republic”.

Because we allowed this to happen.

Sacrifice for the Nation. Really ????

This family should understand the meaning of sacrifice for the nation.

A soldier who knows that there is a high risk of him getting killed but still goes to the front for the sake of nation and gets killed has sacrificed his life for the nation.

Somebody becomes a Prime Minister knowing that there are lot of powers and benefits and then gets killed in a bomb blast or is shot dead cannot be treated as a sacrifice for the nation.

Unlike soldier, they never knew they are going to get killed this way but they still need to do it for the nation.

Further, the family of soldier doesn’t keep running around nation talking about sacrifice and expecting/enjoying further benefits, power and preferential treatment.

A soldier’s family doesn’t demand memorials, free land or any other discount.

They haven't sacrificed their life for the nation. It was an accident.
