Independence day

Well let me mention the obligatory declaration for this story

"All characters and events in the story are the work of fiction, any resemblance to truth is just a matter of co-incidence"

August 13 2012, an enormous crowd of an unknown species reaches near the parliament at New Delhi and deploys in small groups. Each group has weapons of fasting, speeches, banners and flyers.  A  security person discovers these weapons and people he believes these aliens are coordinating their forces to attack. He conveys the massage to his superiors, and the warning slowly reaches the head of the state. He knows what to do but needs the permission from his superior. Yes in India the head of the state has a superior too. He calls in panic asks "Madam ji what should I do". The calm and composed lady's voice from the other side comes "Nothing Mr. Prime Minister, nothing you just have to follow my orders" and hangs up. The parliamentarians meet madam ji in an emergency meeting and it is decided that first they send a delegate to avert this war. The delegation goes meets the alien leaders. The aliens demand cannot be met, say the head of the delegate to madam ji after the meeting  the aliens. 

The flock of aliens emerge in many cities. The parliamentarians and politicians all over the country are held hostage by the aliens. The citizens of the country get convinced by the alien's cause and join them via social networking. The parliamentarians dislike it and threatens the social networking companies with a possible blockage. With citizens joining them, the aliens are multiplying aggressively, if it continues the situation can go beyond our control says a veteran politician. Calls them insane, fascist and politically motivated. The opposition envisions an opportunity in the aliens and starts supporting them and their cause. The situation is getting critical. The alien species demands are disclosed to the parliament:

1. Appoint a person to check corruption in the country and punish the corrupt ones.  

2. Get the money illegally transferred outside the country back to the country.

3. Bring every one in the country under the ombudsman.

Parliamentarians are shocked, they seem to see their death in disguise in these demands.

Meanwhile, head of the police chief plans an assault on the aliens. His idea is to take a group at a time and throw them out of the city. He executes his plan and launches a physical assault on a group led by a Yoga guru. The guru breaks and flees the city to his mother ship ahh.. sorry mother city. The agitation on the assault erupts throughout the country. The guru loses his face but citizens get theirs. At the same time madam ji orders probes agains the alien leader for corruption like charges and fumes as they don't get anything concrete, in turn some of the parliamentarians are held accused for corruption. Frustrated madam ji switches to policy of appeasement, she conditionally accepts aliens demands. The aliens withdraw. But wait, politicians are professional when it comes to appeasement. The demands are strangled by the legal procedures as at the backstage the opposition joins hands with the powerful. Politicians are true visionaries specially when it comes to their own interests. The foresee their dooming future on accepting the alien's demands. The acceptance of the demands is thus delayed by the legal procedures.

Seeing this the alien leader on August 15, devises a plan for their final assault on politicians since he is the only person whom people trust. In the parliamentarians camp where only few are left having not faced corruption charges. Decides to take the action they are best at, not listening at all or rather not acting at all. They it the aliens will get tired and surrender. The alien camp is finally broken with this attitude and plans to assault politicians with their own weapon in a suicide attack. They intend to enter politics. People are perplexed. But it is true if you have to clean you have to enter the dirt. It is a dirty job but someone has to do it. Everyone steals but let the new aliens have a chance, may be this time things change. If it cannot get any worse, it will go better anyway. We need to wait for independence hopefully it will come, not this 15th August some other 15th August.

Happy Independence Day for that 15th August

cheers,
