Schizophrenia at 60

Patient: India
Case History: Independent identity for 60 years
Has forever suffered from delusions of idealisms.
Recent symptoms:
International fashion week was held world wide while its cotton farmers are killing themselves for petty debts (peanuts compared to the crores spent on cotton clothes and their presentation and advertising and event management at the Fashion week).
Dual international identity: Growing IT country and growing international investment opportunities and excellent market growth versus extremely poor rural and urban infrastructure and 90 percent of population has no buying power.
Malnourished and starving multitudes in the land of surplus food.
A political party opposes SEZ ‘s in the states while being in opposition and pushes SEZ’s by all means in the state where it rules.
Eternal identity: Mother India Ground reality: Girl children are killed mercilessly.
Icon of modern Gandhian thought for youth is convicted for carrying arms.
Hospitals are breeding ground of diseases and criminals.
Great expressions of freedom: Spitting, pissing in open, abusing, expletives, beating up, eveteasing, molesting, never protesting or helping victims.
Biggest contradictions: Children show maturity of grown ups and adults are invariably the problem children seeking attention and creating problems.
