Oh what a lovely parade!
Doctors bury their blunders, but governments must parade them. Or that is what I have always believed. They must festoon their monumental mistakes with buntings, mount them on gun carriages and take them down Raj Path on Republic Day amidst the bugle blowers, the bagpipers and the drum beaters.
