What is wrong with this poem is that it is an example of the most pure and refined hypocrisy. Maybe a comparable example wou ...[text shortened]... ection in 1979 to form the most ideologically driven and divisive government in British history.

Let's not get in to politics here. It seems we have enough to deal
with already.

I don't see anything wrong with it. But since I understand

Very well. That leaves us with sanctimonious twaddle.

i) Indian govt.is not noted for accountability.
ii) India has got a despicable attitude towards its own poor.
iii) Sikhs allege that Brahmins account for a lot of this(you probably mean the despicable attitude towards poor)
iv)The corrupt aspect of Indian politics is not improv ...[text shortened]... not nationalistic.That statement is not true. Also why drag the Sikhs and Brahmins in this ?

India is quite a big place to come and look for myself. I wonder how wide are the bounds of your promised hospitality? However there are too many strands to your question (and you are too wide open to attack on these points) so let's keep on topic.

Has the Indian Government failed to investigate and report on the seemingly well founded allegation that Mother Theresa misappropriated immense funds intended for the relief of poverty and ill health, diverting them to "religious" objectives which that Government cannot believe most Indians endorse? If not where is their report?
