A paradox....a democratically elected govt, that swears by the constitution,stifles  the only section of Indian society that swears by and upholds the duty of defending the country even at the peril of their lives.The only lot that can claim to have fought all the war that Independent India has fought,are being treated like ordinary mischief makers,shoed away by agencies that do not care a damn about security,on the pretext of security.These veterans do not know nationalism,patriotism, as vociferously talked about by the pretending multitude on appointed days for vested interest.They do not market patriotism.They only know and are trained to do their duty;come what may.Simple, straightforward commitment to a noble cause...So that "achche din"  that "others "promise may come..Alas ,only to see their" sab se bure din".Since Independence, the only "achche din" that they have seen are of their own making, at their expense,with expended lives.Days that the nation has celebrated with great pomp and show at 'great expense'; has no money for them.Shall they go around the world ,bowls in hand to bring FDI for their birth right,OROP.
