I don't know about you, but it's getting increasingly hard for me to tell fact from fiction when I look at what happens in our beloved country these days. I can't say anything negative about this, obviously, because that sort of thing is reserved only for countries that take freedom of speech seriously. So, in the spirit of being cooperative and extremely patriotic, I thought it made sense to simply look at three things that happened over the past couple of days and beg you, fellow patriotic reader, to consider why they tend to happen only in a glorious, progressive country like India.
