Where are the keepers of Morality....as the poor Indian dies?

In the wake of the 26/11 disaster - one question kept popping up in my mind... where are the "Marathi Manus" when Mumbai burnt?

Then the bunch of Morality Morons at Manngalore popped up and then the whole set of Political Know-it- nones (as opposed to Know-it-alls) jumped in to the fray with comments on What is "Indian" culture and what is Christian (sic) culture... What got me even more confused was that the High Lords of the Political system and the people elected by the people were differentiating Indians and Christians!!! As opposed to Indian and western - I guess.

The other day my son asked if A*** Khan and S****** Khan were from a certain religious group and when I said "yes" He said - But I thought they were Indians! Now for a 10 year old if these small differences started so early and typecasts are getting set without any such converstions at home .... I am truly scared.

I once had a simmilar question of my dad when I saw a Sikh gentleman in Calcutta speaking chaste bangla with a group of Marwari shop keepers in Bou bazar the gold market... and Baba told me that Religion is not restricted to a place as people of any place of residence can practice any religion of their choice. The question of mother tongue and place of birth did not quite come up... however today it seems that issues like that have overshadowed the the INDIAN.

What can we the non-kannadiga, o-bangali, non-northIndian, non-Bhaiyya, Non- Lungi do to bring back to life the INDIAN the Bharatiya the Soul and culture of Atithi Devo Bhava, Acharya devo Bhava ???

I seek answers from the parents of today and the parents of tomorrow....
