Too much red at the woman in red

Is it just me, or are we making way too much of that mystery woman at India's march past? C'mon, the young girl has had to live through her greatest trauma yet - deactivating her Facebook account.
Can there be a more humiliating and permanently scarring thing in the life of a beaming, dancing, red-shirted marching life? Can't even begin to imagine.
Poor little 'over-excited' thing didn't know what she was in for when she chose to skip along with India's contingent.Little did she know that the nation would demand answers and demand them now! What a terrified life she must now living, even fearing arrest and deportation back home. And then the wrath of her leather manufacturer father: "Ab se tumhara bahar ghooma phirna hamesha ke liye band!"
The thing is we haven't gotten around establishing what exactly our outrage is all about here - was she a security threat, a possible suicide bomber hiding a belt of explosives under her can't miss-even-in-the-dark red shirt? No, that never seemed to figure in our protestations. It had to take Seb Coe and the western world to allay fears that we never knew existed. It wasn't that she had hopped across from the street, so there wasn't a security breach either. So what was the problem?
The problem is we take these things - and ourselves - too seriously. It is a classic case of protesting too much. We are livid because someone taken in by the occasion endangered the sanctity of an Indian contingent march past. And that's the most hilarious thing because anyone who's dealt with Indian sports knows that worse has happened at Indian march past. This is among the more trifle of indiscretions.
Notice how none of the Indian athletes - Sania Mirza and even Sushil Kumar - hardly seemed to bat an eyelid at the intrusion. For them, it doesn't really matter. Being edged out by Indian sporting officialdom comes with the job of being a sportsperson for India. They know Indian march-pasts are official pageants. They coolly outnumber the real people - the athletes - and even take front row. To be seen on TV back home in all his liveried finery is what the Indian official lives for, and he will protect his turf jealously. But no one wants to remember that here.
For now, it's a girl in red and we are mighty outraged and so we are gunning for her, while the truth is, by giving the incident more attention than it really deserves , we are deflecting focus away from an Indian Olympic performance that otherwise seems to be going quite wrong so far. Smart move.
