I find it incredulous that it is the 'machinations of Mancini' that the 2 Italian marines are not returning to India to face trial for killing 2 Indian fishermen. If they had to abscond they would have done it the first time they went home for Christmas in Dec.. but we tend to forget that what changed later was the news of the AgustaWestland chooper scam. Now seemingly to divert the attention of the public and the main opposition, they are sent to Italy to vote (come on give me a break anyone having lived in Europe knows any citizen, leave aside on duty soldiers, can vote through postal ballot), then the drama of not returning and then our usually reticent PM uncharacteristically uses strong language of facing consequences. Am surprised when it comes to Pakistan killing 1000s of innocent citizens through bomb blasts or beheading Indian soldiers.. I never heard him or any GoI official saying 'you will face the consequences of your actions'.

Patanjali's yoga sutras speak of yama and niyama as part of the 8 fold path.. yama refers to the five abstentions: how we relate to the external world.
First and foremost ahimsa (non-violence), but what you see on the road, people driving rashly causing accidents and killing innocent lives 200K per year, much more than the 100s of terrorist attacks executed from our friendly neighbourhood.
2nd - Satya (truth) its only remained in Satyameva Jayate..
3rd Asteya or non-stealing, well in 2012 India was ranked 94th out of 176 countries in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index and every 3-6 months has seen scams of humongous proportions,
4th - Brahmacharya or abstinence, Delhi is considered the rape capital of the world.. and as per GoI, a woman is now raped in India every 20 minutes.
5th Aparigraha (non-possessiveness).. our politicians are the epitome of how they can possess others property/ land.
So though India gave Yoga to the world.. unfortunately the country of its origin is seeing quite the opposite .. leading to depravity in day to day life and worst we are getting used to it.
