During a exhibition, there were several counters where crabs from each
country were being displayed. All these counters displayed several carbs in
individual glass cube structures. There was a possibility that these crabs
climbed out of these display cubes and hence they were covered with glass
lids on top. Except India, all the other country counters had these glass
cubes covered in the top with a glass lid.

On questioning as to why there was no necessity for covering the lid, the
answer was pretty simple. Watch it !! On watching closely, one could see
that if the lid of glass cube of any other country was opened, the crabs
used to climb on top of other and managed to try to escape with a combined
team effort. However on the glass cube with crabs from India, it was clearly
visible that whenever any crab tried to climb up, the other crab pulls it
down with its leg. So, practically speaking none of those crabs were able to
escape because of leg-pulling from each other.

This is an clear cut example (or rather joke) of Indian politics. I don't
want to blame anyone here, but after much efforts from everyone (including
Ashok) the other emails were bought to a stop. I don't want to see Ashok
angered again to set this thing up again.

Also the article in Tribune India has got nothing to do with any of this
apart from simple example of Indian politics leg-pulling of each other.
Leave that to itself.. :)

Thanks
Raghu.
