War Cry for Peace
It is with great sadness that i sit to write this blog.
Couple of days back, series of timed bombs exploded in Mumbai trains causing largescale damage to human lives. The pictures that i managed to catch on the Television were gory to be mild.
My heart really goes out to those affected and hope god helps them in overcoming the pain.
At such times we should definately speak about the spirit of the people of the country who are willing to do all they can to help tide over this misfortune. Undoubtedly we, Indians are adept at turning around a misfortune and coming over it successfully.
Terrorism is not a new concept to India - We has been mute witness to all forms of Ethnic Cleansing, Terrorism. The people from Kashmir have lost so much life and freedom that we have stopped reacting to the daily acts of terrorism. Ignoring them for so many years has given the terrorists so much confidence that they have taken their heinous acts to the Cities - Ahmedabad, Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai - Name it.
Somehow the Hindu dharma of forgive your enemies and move on hasnt quite borne the necessary effect and it is time we take the attitude of a "A Eye for a Eye".
Despite all the jingoistic stance that Uncle Sam takes, the country's concept of valuing its Citizen's lives is worth applauding. Our Country and its Politicians somehow dont mind the acts of terror as long as one of their brethen is not troubled. When will our Politicians rise above petty politics - Stop misusing power for their selfish gains and start misusing power for the better good of the society.
The politicians forever exhort the public to move on - Move on from Price Hike, Move on from Reservation, Move on from Infrastructure woes, Move on from Terrorist Attack. Yes we will move on, but you people better get your act together and do something so that we never encounter these problems again.
Go on the offensive againsts the Terrorists - Kill their base - LET EACH ONE OF THOSE INVOLVED FEEL THE PAIN FOR ATTACKING INDIA - teach them a lesson like never before.
It hurts to read in the papers the day after the blasts when a
Foreign Minister - kasauri - from Pakistan says that the blasts were a cause of failed Indo-Pak talks on Kashmir. And the Foreign secretary of our country says just - Please watch your words.
First to Mr. kasauri are you justifying the bomb blasts - coz if you are then you are indirectly claiming responsibility for these attacks on India. And if you are not implying that and are taking a random swipe at the people's misfortune at such an moment - i hope that god bestows the same misfortune on you and your country so that you realize what it is to go through such pain and think twice before uttering such ungiven statements.
Second to Navtej Sarna, Manmohan Singh and others responsible - Dont u think when Pakistan says this they mean - U deserve this ? If you keep quiet, surely u are also agreeeing that we deserve this and if you dont agree with them - better make them understand that india will never tolerate unwanted statements coming at these moments. Dont deprive the country of ACTION at its moment of need.
Take a posture towards Terrorism - Fight back -
Not just in every day life - that is the role of common man to take the same train, walk the same bazaars, go to the same temple - but also in Diplomatic circles - which is your role. Make it felt to the neighbouring nation that such loose talk can be detrimental to their interests. Step up the pressure on them to close down the terrorists camps.
Finally rise to this hour of need and get counted.

We the Common people have heard it and responding but are the politicians listening ??

Echo the sentiments....
Indian, Hindu Dharma and everybody around have been so soft that they are always taken for granted...
I got more disheartened with news or salutation in media that they salute the spirit of Mumbai, people of Mumbai...CMON guys do we have any other choice ..We have to use that local train because we cant afford to sit back and wait the GOVT to put enough efforts to make us feel (at least) safe ..it wont happen nontheless may be if a common man does not reach to office he might not have job other day....as we are human rich too...
All the incidents in past were not enough to boil the blood of ppl of India and their representative in GOVT to react at least...Proaction is anyway not their...
A small country who got freedom because of India Bangla Desh (countless their refugees cross border daily) bruatally killed 15 of our soldiers..its not a war or bomb-blast or shoot out ..they literally captivated them and tortured them and cut their fingers etc and return the bodies to Indian Govt...What we did "Strong reaction from all parties ...thats it....."
In every sphere of life we are pushed out because we are soft...
