VIPs' burial
An Indian writer's article on VIPs' burials was published in a local English daily on 26th May. It referred to the usual practice in this subcontinent of allotting exclusive and high valued locations for the VIPs' burial. Memorials and monuments are also put up all on state cost. More so, if he or she dies when their political party holds state power!
Frankly, in my opinion, this is a waste of state resources. All such expenses should come from party or private funds. However, this can be done for outstanding non-political persons who have brought worldwide name and fame for the country.
