Chaplin Vs Swami

In Karnataka, the keepers of our culture objected to a statue of Charlie Chaplin being erected for a film set. They found it toooo Christian...They wanted a statue of Swami Vivekananda. Never mind if it did not suit the film script. And to boot the Karnataka Chief Minister said that the public had a right to voice their opinion... !! God knows....now we have verily lost our sense of humour. Both Chaplin and the Swami may be cringing up there somewhere.

Still to be fair not all is lost..Somewhere some politicians are still trying their best to do good. No smoking in public places, ban on plastic bags, no Honking Zones....etc.
If only they are equally over zealous about implementing these as they are about defending our culture......we might see a better India.
