I am writing from U.S.A about the experience of my sister n India. Her husband who had served in the army died of a heart attack. She was shunted from office to ofice when she ried to avail herself of the benefits due to her. At the end of one month of constantly going from office to office at great inconvenience and expense she got nowhere. Ultimately someone suggested to her to bribe. I do not know the amount to whom all she had to bribe since I am in America and could be of little help. Only after she bribed (a form of extortion) she was able to get the benefits which were legitimately hers. Indian officials have become so callous and greedy that they have no concern or sympathy even for those who were ready to sacrifice their lives for the protection of the county.
Shame on us as a nation which has tolerated such injustice for so long and is drawing its foot for its amelioration.
