Bihar floods and the role of the state

It is particularly disheartening to see the management of Kosi flood in Bihar by the state of India, and even more disheartening is the response of Indians towards this response. There are people who are stuck on the roof tops for almost a week, sourrounded by 10 ft. water, without any food or drinking water. I wonder what that means to most of our politicians- those who are paying slightest of attention to flood only to score political points. Why are they and more importantly we are not moved by the sight of sounds of this forgotten and suffering humanity? all those who are agitating for pride of Hindus or pride of Indians, all those who are celebrating our "great victory" in olympic, do not hang themselves out of shame on seeing our response to these floods. But how does that matter? Even Children not having any dry place to sleep on or to eat, not to mention any thing else. I wonder why it not outrage us as does the land transfer issue in Jammu and Kashmir? Why it not outrage us the bombing of cities by some terrorists? Why it not outrage us, as the publication of Danish cartoons or paintings by M F (Mother Fucker) Hussain? Why we not come on the street demanding for the better governance as we agitate demanding reservation and other countless trivial things?
Why don't we ask for education, for healthcare, for protection from criminals, musclemen, for law and order? Why we do not fight to reduce the infant mortality in which we are at the bottom, poverty, malnutrition, jobs, human trafficking for all. We are all ready to sacrifice these issues for immature sentimental issues, for the token of honor, which would have appealed only the medieval feudal mindset or to some very narrow mindset. We became so much driven by our narrow immediate self interests that we refuse to open our eyes and see even one step ahead of us.
What is factor for this apathy. Or may be as middle class is developing and getting to know America have found liberation in the ideology of American right which do not believe in State taking care of people, and wish for them to pull themselves up by boot strap. Does our government becoming hot over America is practicing the some version of this free market capitalism, as we practiced socialism when we were sucking USSR's dick. Do we believe this in India or there is something else going on here.
We have completely failed as a state, as a society and as humans. Floods and droughts are the most common and most severe problems faced by India, and we could not unite the two to solve them so far. We do not have developed even a primitive flood relief mechanisms. We are at the mercy of elements in the same way as we were in the paleolithic age.
Today I do not care if India remain united or breaks into millions of tiny fiefdoms run by criminals. They are those any way. Our government is just another of those criminal enterprise, who would often have facade of decent men like Manmohan singh or Vajpayee or Kalam, who is controlling everything to benefit those who are in power, but essentially it remains like a pimp and brothel cartel. Even after 50 years people are selling their children for meals. How can we expect this heartless mafia to react to misery of people suffering in flood.
But it tells a lot about we as a people too.
