The trauma of Kalka Mail accident and counting of the victims wasn’t over as yet , when suddenly a lurch was provided by the terrorists, yet again. Mumbai, a dream city for many, has now become a hot spot for terrorist activities. It seems as if India is becoming an unsafe country and terrorist attacks in India are like the ‘Monsoons’ with the only difference being the frequency of arrival. Last wednesday, ‘Black Wednesday‘ was a birthday gift to Kasab from their PAPA’S (dont forget, Kasab has been our national guest since the last 3 years).
Who is to be blamed ?? Is it the politicians or the government ?? Is it the opposition party, trying to have the chair ?? Is it the ISI, or any other terrorist group ? Or is it just basic government tactics to remove the attention of people from inflation and corruptions, 2G, black money etc.
Now where is Anna Hazare and his colleague, yoga teacher Baba Ramdev? They all fight for corruption…lokpal bill and blah blah blah…but no one takes charge of the national security or tries to curb terrorism. Actually we are very good at forgetting things, and everyone, whether it be the terrorists or the politicians know it very well. They know that people will forget this attack, like all the other attacks of the past and it’s true, because only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches. So, its better to ask those people who have lost their family members. Will they ever be able to forget these attacks ??
It’s really a failure of the Intelligence Agencies, they are lacking somewhere. And what can you say about the politicians? They only know how to divide people for vote bank politics. Our Government can only defend terrorists like Kasab as the total expenses on Ajmal Kasab till date are around 26.5 crores, he was also provided with a nutritious diet, tight security & all the other facilities, now is this called PUNISHMENT or NOURISHMENT ?? Government very well knows how to lathi charge on innocent ladies and children but they do not know how to curb terrorism.
However, we can’t entirely blame the government. Yes, our administration system is weak , but , awareness amongst people is the most important thing. Secondly, our security system sucks too and that’s where the government’s role becomes important. If we notice, since 9/11 , U.S has been pro-active in security issues . There have been no terrorist activities in the US after 9/11.Then, why is India a soft target ??A stronger intelligence and defence system is needed. Here, corruption makes our intelligence weaker and it is lacking in funds. So , to stop all this , each and every citizen should do his/her bit. By paying taxes and spreading awareness.
We need people like Naseeruddin Shah of’ A Wednesday’ movie. We have all the capabilities to fight out such menaces but India lacks will power. If America and Israel can curb this, then why cant we? We can’t see our people dying like this. Its time we must react strongly and strike at the very root otherwise just sitting idle is simply not going to make any difference.
Let’s unite and fight against terrorism to make India a safe country.

@tanuj: liked ur views but can u explain one thing. “Now where is Anna Hazare and his colleague, yoga teacher Baba Ramdev? They all fight for corruption…lokpal bill and blah blah blah…but no one takes charge of the national security or tries to curb terrorism.” what were u expecting exactly from anna hazare. And tell me one more thing, if gandhiji would have been here how would he have stopped terrorism? The truth is terrorism listens to only violence. They don’t care whether u have been eating for the past 10 days or not. Dragging anna and ramdev’s name in this was totally aimless. It is like saying sachin is the true son of india and specially maharastra, then where was he when the terrorists attacked. All the master blaster can do is pose for the camera, don’t u think? I hope u got the point

i agree with pranay bharadwaj….and stop pin pointing at hazare….he is the man who had the guts to stand up unlike all of us who r just mute spectators at how the ministry and the corruption is raping all of the middle and lower strata of the society….c’mon no one can b naive enough to ignore the scams…national security is definitly an issue that needs immediate addressal…agreed but hazare and his team are trying to bring corruption to lower levels….hope u knw that our national security is also to a great extent affected due to corruption tin the top strata of the society….
