"I received
this note from a young person living in India. Interestingly, in
this person’s report, the Indian army comes off badly and
not the police. In the years that I lived in India, many Indians
had great respect for the army but widely despised the police
for their cruelty and corruption.
.... Sathya Sai
Baba is heavily surrounded by both police and army personnel all
the way to the very highest echelons ....
.... One sees
from its daily newspapers that India is not a land of
democracy – except for a thin veneer of it – but, rather of
tragedy. And indeed India’s media fails to reveal a great deal
because it is so heavily muzzled. It is, for example, foreign
media like the
BBC,
The Times of London,
The Telegraph,
The Guardian, and newspapers in Europe, Canada and Australia
that have been able to get the powerfully indicting Sathya Sai
Baba facts out to the world"
