i had taken two deep breaths before i wrote this blog. Taking a deep breath is supposed to help calm down ur tempers. But it is not helping me. My blood pressure just shots to the highest level every time i see the clips of latest bombings in India's capital city.
'an eye for an eye' was the title of the mail which was sent by 'Indian Mujahideen' tanzeem to Times of India. these locally bread touts of Pakistan sponsored terrorism are just taking a free hand in a meek Indian democracy where we have 'laws' for every thing. We are being victimized every possible day, every possible hour and every possible minute. These acts of terrorism seemed to have maimed our resolve to fight against terrorism. Our callous attitude is just acting as catalyst for these Mujahideens. and our elected representatives at the centre are just making 'statements' and 'vowing' to fight the menace of terrorism with an iron fist. But my one simple question is WHEN ? when do our politicians think the appropriate time will come when they can 'act' against terrorism. what incident does it require to wake them from the deep slumber. Sample this, we already have attacks on our Parliament, we already hv attacks in our national capital, in our financial capital(Mumbai), in our technology capital (Bangalore) , in the most prosperous state (Gujrat), in the peace loving city of Jaipur and Hyderabad, Varanasi (if u hv forgotten, let me remind u , we had attacks at Hanuman Temple there). And not to talk about J&K which has been burning for past 20 years now....Probably this list will just keep on lengthening, if we don't 'act'. If we don't 'act strong', if we don't act in 'the most ruthless manner' on culprits. If u go my premonitions, we should not expect anything to happen in near future (at least from Congress govt, which is visibly shaken every time Mamta Baneerge or Mayawati Sneezes) , and when national elections are round the corner and that Congress hasn't fared too well in the recent assembly polls recently.
It s really disheartening to see the way our seasoned politicians are making statements on the recent unfortunate incident. but i am not surprised, given the fact that we had similar statements issued when blasts has rocked Ah'bad. i was watching a discussion which was aired live on TIMES NOW channel, between Rajiv Pratap Rudy (BJP rep) and Renuka Chaudary (congress rep and a minister at centre). Rajiv Pratap Rudy asked a simple question to Renuka Chaudhary, if a crackdown (crackdown generally refers to the frisking and searching any suspected location or person and doesnt require court's permission) was possible at that juncture. to which the minister gave a reply in this fashion "this is not the time to play blame game or your dirty communal politics...blah...blah..." wel madam minister, i would like to say that a simple YES or even a indirect YES (because u dont want to annoy your minority vote bank) would hv been welcomed by every Indian.
and when we have some states like Gujrat asking center to pass its own formulated 'anti terror law', the center is not willing to pass it.. just for the sake of those extra votes in the coming elections.
y cant we have strong leaders like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel or Bal Gangadhar Tilka who can root out this menace from India any ANY cost, who are so strong and fierce enough to nip the terrorism in the bud. But before that, do we hv leaders who have the willingness to do so !!! unfortunately NO or may be very few, which could be counted on your finger tips.
My view : i really feel that the time has come, when India needs to take the strongest possible measures to stop blatant dance of death on it chest. Time and history has been witness to the fact that it always takes a strong leader to bring about the revolution. Be it the French Revolution (lead by Mirabeau) , American Revolution ( like Samuel Adams) or more recently, our own KPS Gill who managed to put an end to terrorism in Punjab in early 1990s.. when the evil has to be rooted out from the society, it will ask for its price, and we should be ready to pay it. U can't please everyone to find a solution for a problem. Blood shed is inevitable in any revolution. Let it happen, as it s surely better than the bloodshed of innocent children who r victims of these acts of terrorism. we, as Indians hv already suffered a lot and the suffering must end now....
and to all those media channels, pl for heaven's sake, pl don't add fuel to fire.... pl stop showing the pro-Pakistani and anti-India protesters in Kashmir as 'innocent protesters' and the 'pro-India' protesters in Jammu 'communal forces'... ur TRP ratings are not as imp as ur own nation.
if the devils behind the recent attack in Delhi, happen to read this blog, i just want to reply to them that if u think 'nizam-e-mustafa' is gonna be instantiated in India, wel u can be assured that it will not happen till the time of 'kayamat'... and let them not forget that the muslims who had migrated to pakistan in 1947 are still referred as Muhajirs, hence distinguishing them from the aboriginals... that the same Pakistan which helped the formation of Taliban Govt in Afganistan and acknowledged it, provided it s own air bases to US planes for destruction of Taliban...
i ask u, what r u deprived of in India.. which right, which freedom is restricted for you in India.. the very fact that u can dare to air ur views against India on its own soil, itself proves the true democratic and secular color of India.. y do u blame India, if Muslims were not able to progress in past 60yrs.. was their freedom, their opportunities limited by anyone or any govt at any point of time... and last but not least, pl dont forget that ur deeds are not doing any good to ur own community, at least in India..
Jai Hind...

I respect your sentiments n your guts for choosing such bold words
see i don't wanna wait for my turn to die and do nothing till this devil eats India...I wanna do something that helps
but i know thats not possible if i am alone...We not only have to stand united against this devil but crush it under our feet...
The point i wanna put forward is how can we do that???
Ppl are ready to cooperate but the govt. is not...Lack of technologies and stuff
we need to find a way and i am with you to walk on it...I promise i will lead...
Woah, strong opinions there! You are right, some of us have shown callous attitude. That's why we are paying the price!
This is my opinion: No doubt India needs to get tougher (or maybe smarter is the right word) in dealing with terrorism. But some basic rights must be guarded at any cost.

TIll people raise above power for the welfare of the people, we are going to in the same boat.
We the aam aadmi have power but no one uses it correctly.Education or rather awareness is required.
