It does not require any special gift of discernment to see that all is not well with our country as it is not with the larger world in varying degrees.
Take the issue of policing as an example. All the clamouring for the establishment of state police fell on deaf ears.
The argument by the Presidency has been to ask: states that cannot pay salaries regularly how are they going to pay their police? Can we risk not paying the police as and at when due? On the surface, the argument may sound attractive. On deeper reflection, we will find that it is precisely because of absence of predictable security that economic activities are sluggish or at a standstill and revenue derivable from which governors are to meet obligations is not there or is spread thin.
