If India’s founding fathers, like the passionate democrat Jawaharlal Nehru, had not been cremated, they would be turning over in their graves. With a general election to be held by the end of May, voters should insist that those who seek to represent them in Parliament go there to debate and deliberate, not to disrupt and destroy.
如果印度的开国元勋们——比如坚定地民主派尼赫鲁——当初没有火葬，他们八成会从棺材里爬出来。今年5月底将举行大选，选民应该坚持要求试图在议会代表他们的人是去讨论和商议问题的，而不是去干扰和搞破坏的。就目前而论，这似乎是一种奢望。
