I remember reading these lines way back in school (probably in a Hindi guide book), and find them truer than ever ...
When horrendous crimes against women and children are on rise, for a lack of any sort of deterrent, while the powers-to-be are busy with populist and vote-gathering measures (when they are not busy with a multitude of scams to fill up their overflowing lockers .... )
अमनचोर देखो अमन बेचते हैं,
कफ़नचोर देखो कफ़न बेचते हैं,
पहरुआ बनाया था जिनको वतन का,
वो दिल्ली में बैठे वतन बेचते हैं!
