Open letter to editors of all national newspapers of India

This is regarding the news that Saudi Arabia has executed (beheaded) two Indian nationals because they were found guilty of a murder. [Link1] We are living in a gloomy situation. While India is debating issues like the Presidential elections, and entry rules for Hindu temples, things are happening which make my country-men’s head lower in shame. Is not this an attack on our national pride? The two beheaded persons were 'Indian nationals', not the adopted citizens of Saudi Arabia. Is India's diplomacy alive? We dream of becoming super power in next 10 years! Any nation where judiciary faces constant pressure from parliament, where constitution is a blank page, open to cut and paste maneuvers, where bureaucracy is corrupt and ineffective, where politicians facing criminal cases are central ministers, can still be my country, but a country which doesn't care for its fellow citizens and where media doesn't report such incidents on front pages, makes me disgusted.
