Italian Killers and their Cardinal

The trigger-happy sailors from Italy could not have come to Indian shores at better times. While they were practicing target shooting at the hapless Indian fishermen, the man who converted them all to follow the same God (or his son) as the Italians was getting crowned by the very same Italians for the bounty he had harvested for them. Do these poor fishermen still remember the promises made by these Bishops and Cardinals when they were getting converted? It was free entry into a heaven full of White ladies and gentlemen, with equality, fraternity and liberty.
 
Whatever be the end result of present diplomatic manipulations, the Italians who murdered these poor fishermen in cold blood will never get punished. Everything will die down soon even if the police succeed in filing an FIR.  The Italian heroes will be VIP treated in our jail for a few days and they will come out in bail and disappear forever. It would be a good exercise for all the converted Indian fishermen to imagine a situation where Indians shot at Italian fishermen in their seas.
 
The converted Indians must also accord a warm welcome to the Cardinal when he lands in Indian shores with an Italian crown on his head. After all he did a lot for the ‘welfare’ of these living targets. But for him the Italians would not have strayed into Indian waters to practice target shooting on living Indians. After all many British viceroys used to practice shooting on tigers and elephants. If British can do it with Indian animals, why not Italians with Indian humans? After all, all those converted are subjects of their empire.
