I opened a couple of these and
found that the letter therein was the same as the one I had received -
i.e with only his name, address and phone number - there was no
impersonation of whom so ever by him.

When I did a google search for Blog / Prakash Bajaj, I got a response
of 1200 plus links to various blogs. I opened a couple of these and
found that the letter therein was the same as the one I had received -
i.e with only his name, address and phone number - there was no
impersonation of whom so ever by him.

He is hard working, emotional and as angry as many of us that we have
allowed politicians to destroy India by turning a blind eye to
corruption – the root cause of it all.

Hypothetical Reply from the PM copied from some other forum :Dear Mr. Mouse,
It is finally a relief to be able to hear your squeak in person. I am now convinced that though you are definitely not mute, you certainly are dumb.
I accept the fact that I said “Nobody would be spared”. However, this is a country governed by law, not a dictatorship regime, hence, I can punish someone only after their guilt is proven in court, not based on the squeaks of mice. I might add that Dawood’s guilt is proven and not only is the entire government security apparatus trailing him, but that there is also a red-corner Interpol notice and a reward for his arrest and capture. Also, if you would help me to prove which of my ministers are in cohorts with these criminals, I shall be the first to punish them.
I agree with you when you say – Enough is enough. As long as there are traitor mice in our midst who will sell the safety of the country by offering safe haven to such terrorists, nothing will change. I must remind you that as the terrorists came to Mumbai, they definitely had local support from within – from some of those mice you mention in your letter. As long as such traitors exist, even the most heavily fortified installations are at risk.
I understand that you are born and bought up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years. I also believe you when you say that corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that in Bihar. However, you must remember that in bribery and corruption, there are two sides – the taker and the giver. Now, ask yourself: Who is the giver? Is it not one of you that’s equally responsible for the way things are? Is it not you that’s paying 30% black money to the builder? Please do not think that I am shirking away from admitting to my share of the blame, but you must realize that I don’t have a magic wand to wave away corruption one fine morning.
You state: Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief minister I have seen. His only business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money and send it to Delhi so Congress can fight next election. Now the clown has found new way and will increase FSI for fisherman so they can build concrete house right on sea shore. Next time terrorist can comfortably live in those house , enjoy the beauty of sea and then attack the Mumbai at their will. So let me ask you, who was it that elected this “clown” to power? It certainly wasn’t me, you see.
The problem with mice like you is just that you are too comfortable in your arm chair shooting off letters to the PM. How about moving your a** off of the chair and doing something? You keep blaming the system for what it is – how about realizing that you are part of that evil system yourself? How about some action from you? How about a bit of thinking before casting your vote in the next elections? How about saying a firm “No” to the local MP when he comes over to “buy” your vote by offering you free booze?
All of that said, I must admit that our party has made some mistakes. But remember, everyone makes them. There are certain factions in our coalition that have their own agendas and they drag us in a different direction at times. It is at such times that I feel sad in my heart about the fact that though everyone is suffering, no one wants to actually make any change. For example, what did the mice in Mumbai do when the goondas of MNS went on a rampage? They wasted no time in blaming the government for it. If you believe that caste and regional politics is wrong, why would you elect representatives of the Shiv Sena, MNS, RJD etc etc in every election?
Now the choice is yours Mr. Mouse. Do you want to consider the good of the nation or will you keep voting into power the same politicians who keep dividing you based on religion? Are there any men left in this nation of 100 crore people or have all of them become the non-squeaking type of mice? The next election should tell us.Jai Hind!! Long live the Gandhi and Nehru dynasty!Note: Before you flame me about this comment, please note that this is a hypothetical reply and is to be taken with a pinch of salt. I’m not a supporter of any political party and I’m not saying that the PM is right or even that he is wrong. This is just a satirical piece designed to get the writer (and the reader) to think before making an accusation. Thanks!!

Its been ethereal and heart warming to hear so many
individuals have voiced their concerns but don’t forget your audience
sits inside thick layered walls of “BLACK MONEY”, “CORRUPTION” and
“DENIAL BY VIRTUE PRINCIPLE”. It’s not even worth having a logical
agenda for these worthless & impotent lunatics!

Well, guess what we live in a “SYSTEM” that works to best serve
“ITSELF”. You aka. the command man aka. the “PEST” are expendable
resources whenever these goons see fit. I mean where do we live? In a
feakin Democracy? Think again:

“DOING GOOD BUSINESS?” + “BUZZER” = TAX
“MAKING LOT OF MONEY?” + “BUZZER” = TAX
“GETTING MARRIED?” + “BUZZER” = TAX
“HAVING KIDS?” + “BUZZER” = TAX
“AGAIN THINKING OF HAVING KIDS?” + “BUZZER” = TAX
“THINKING OF BUYING A NEW HOME?” + “BUZZER” = TAX
“HAVEN’T PAID TAX?” + “BUZZER” = TAX WITH A COMMENDABLE UNDERTABLE BONUS
TO OUR SPECIAL FORCES WHO WE MOST WILLINGLY APPOINTED TO LEECH MONEY
FROM YOU.
“NONE OF THE ABOVE, WELL WE GOT NEWS FOR YOU! YOUR SPREADING TERRORISM!”
+ “BUZZER” = PROBABLY A JUVE FOR LIFETIME UNLESS YOU HAVE A VERY VERY
GOOD LAWYER!

Making fun of all this yeah well its all okay until you are not
really pissed off at them and that you really expect these incompetant
“IDIOTS” to protect you or to serve you. All that you bring by force,
violence or corruption eventually ends!

This basically sums up what a cover letter should be and how it should be constructed. Sometimes a cover letter also shows some important details that a resume does will not include.

The letter addressed to PM of India is true situation on ground. If he were elected by people of India & democratically elected as leader of party and then nominated as PM, then I should have addressed similar mail that Mr Bajaj wrote to PM. And then people of India should expect him to do according to their wishes. The picture is totally different. He owns his allegiance to one person or THE family. Hence we should address our grievances to the "one person"or The family.

It will always be the people who elect those officials who almost of them got nothing to do but steal the money of the people. There's no one to have taken their actions but us and we can't blame those Mouse of Mumbai if they would take against the government. They're just fight for their own right and of the next generation.

This is false. While the editor of the Times of India is faceless, Bajaj had no problems giving his name, address and number – although I think he ought to be more careful.

It also threatened legal action against him, God alone knows on what ground. But, while doing all this, it carefully avoided reproducing the letter or quoting from it. Isn’t that funny? Now you know why the country is in the state that it is.

All of you who were moved by Prakash Bajaj’s hastily drafted missive may want to look at what his friend Sudhir Badami has to say. If you agree with Sudhir, do write to the TOI and register your protest!

This fact could have been easily verified by your esteemed newspaper. It appears as though you deliberately chose not to do so and in the process behaved like all the politicians and bureaucrats and agencies described by Shri Bajaj in his letter. This was least expected of from the esteemed news paper, which is why Shri Bajaj chose to send the letter to you to make it public.

As things would have it, this letter is representative of what so many people feel of the state of affairs of India and hence the letter has been getting forwarded so many times world over.

But that is okay too. After all, Bajaj did not write for publicity. What is however stunning is the reaction of the venerable Times of India. On 12th December 2008, it suddenly carried a little box claiming that Bajaj had represented himself as the Editor of the Times of India. (see http://tinyurl.com/5moh3o) This is false. While the editor of the Times of India is faceless, Bajaj had no problems giving his name, address and number – although I think he ought to be more careful.

I have known Shri Bajaj close to 35 years. The email I have received and the address given by him are his. I have not known him to be a blogger. Therefore in all fairness to him, I think a newspaper of your repute should have verified whether he indeed has a blog and if so, whether the blog has him impersonating Editor of The Times of India. If you already have done this exercise, I would appreciate your giving me the link of the blog where there is a misrepresentation by him as the Editor of The Times of India.

I think you should have the moral courage to admit to having made a mistake as serious as this - it is like wanting to suppress any such expression openly by any citizen. As a pillar of our democracy, it is the prime duty of the media to ensure that any act of suppression of expression of such feelings by citizens, does not take place due to influence of people getting affected.

Thanks and Regards
