India’s fight against terrorism
Another attack on India. Mumbai is bleeding again. How many more attacks, how many more corpses, how many more sacrifices will it take for our leaders to act? I am fed up; I am fed up with this government, all politicians irrespective of their party. Something needs to change and it is not politicians but us who have to do this. Mumbai attack has shown the exemplary valour of our soldiers, our police and ordinary people. The only cowards in India seem to be our great leaders who are hiding in their safe haven in Delhi. The leadership has failed and has failed again and again. Are we soft state? Yes we are and here I would like to compare the speeches of Mr. Bush after 9/11 and our own PM, Foreign minister and the Home minister.
“Good evening. Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts.” were the opening remarks of Bush.
“The dastardly terror attacks that took place in Mumbai last night and today leading to the loss of many precious lives and injuries to many others have deeply shocked the nation.” were our PM’s word.
Let’s compare these opening remarks. The opening remarks of Bush made it clear that it was just not any other attack but an attack on everything US stands for-: its citizens, its way of life and its very freedom while our PM called it just a dastardly terror attack. These opening remarks show he difference in the determination.
“These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed; our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve…. Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature. And we responded with the best of America -- with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could,” were the inspiring words of Mr Bush. I could not find anything inspiring in our PMs speech.
“We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them,” was clear warning to anyone who was harbouring terrorists.
“We will take up strongly with our neighbours that the use of their territory for launching attacks on us will not be tolerated, and that there would be a cost if suitable measures are not taken by them.” Take up? What you mean by take up. You are taking up this thing for last 30-35yrs.
“we're going to find those evil-doers, those barbaric people who attacked our country and we're going to hold them accountable and we're going to hold the people who house them accountable. The people who think they can provide them safe havens will be held accountable. The people who feed them will be held accountable. And the Taliban must take my statement seriously.” What warning are we giving to Pakistan?
Why should every time it is India’s responsibility to avoid conflict and reduce tension? Why our leaders are afraid of escalating tension? War is already there, we are bleeding everyday. The only anomaly is that only one side is bleeding right now. I am not ready to bleed hundred of times I am ready to take a hit but I also want to hit back. Our armed forces have shown their ability again and again. I am sure they are capable of punishing Pakistan to such an extend that they would not dare to repeat this dastardly act. But our leaders are coward they are afraid that the any conflict can escalate. We are a nuclear weapon state as Pakistan is. If Kargil did not escalate why should an attack by India. Pakistan works with an assumption that whatever it does will not be retaliated by India because international community would come in to diffuse the tension. They know whoever will act swiftly and decisively will get the advantage. Now it’s India’s turn we should act swiftly and decisively. We should take the punitive action; we should hit them fast and hard.
Pakistan Foreign minister has promised all help in the investigation. He has also proposed to form a hot line between head of intelligence of two countries. But first let them give us 20 most wanted terrorists that have found safe haven in Pakistan. No matter what Pakistan promises unless they will give us terrorists like Maulana masood and Dawood Ibrahim we will not consider them our friends. It is time now for Pakistan to take steps to diffuse tensions.
What kind of Democracy are we living in? The most hated home minister is still there in his office just because of one woman. I will never be able to forget that video where our home minister was clearly more concerned about his spotless attire than the people who were battling for their life because he failed to do his job.
None of us is perfect but we learn from our past mistakes. We learn and we do not make those mistakes again. But we seem to be repeating them every time. Let’s look at the common things in most of the terrorist attacks. Most of the attacks that are happening in India are serial attacks and there is about 30mins to 1hr or more between first incident and the last. Why don’t we have a system with the help of which we can warn all the public place in a city if an incident take place any where in a city. Why can’t we have an announcement system which could announce about an incident immediately asking people to leave the market leaving their vehicles behind and stay out till police have checked out everything? Militants are also attacking the hospital nearest to the place where first attack has taken place. Are we taking this thing into consideration? Why don’t we have a NSG type force in all the state capitals and large cities? How much will it cost? We can spend millions to protect our useless leaders why can’t we spend few more to protect people who choose them? And one question I want to ask our leaders why doesn’t the most elite force of our country have night vision goggles?
Atrocities have been inflicted on our fellow citizens. Today we will mourn the deaths but tomorrow we should avenge them.
There is no issue bigger than security so today I take a pledge I would vote for anyone who will promise to punish those 20 terrorists even if that means a war with Pakistan or I would not vote at all.

Weak government and death of citizens
UPA government has failed to proect the people. Major attacks are happening throughout the country and our government seems to have no plan of action to counter it. After every attack there is a talk of punishing the terrorists and doing everything that is possible to avoid the repeat. But it seems UPA government seems to be out of idea. The most important responsibility of a government is to protect citizens. Our ain and present UPA government has again and again failed to do so. Terrorists seems to be fearless and stricking at will while our investigating agency are wasting their energy on trying to proove a non existence hindu terrorism. The government has failed and it has no right to continue. Government has blamed Hindu orgnisation for terrorism and have accused the hindu samaj for protecting the terrorists and it claims that it is acting tough on terrorism but what at action are they taking on more than 2.5crores illegal Bangladeshis that have become such a big threat to our national security. What action have they taken against 1000s of madrassas that have opened in border areas who are mind washing the young brains against India. It is the government whose supporters have questioned the martyrdom of our brave soldiers for some votes. Who Sarkaar jisme apne shaheedoan ki ijjaat na ho, jis mai apne shantoan ko apmanit kiya jata ho aur jis sarkaar mai desh ke thukde kerne ki koshish kerne waloan ko bachaya jata ho us Sarkaar ko hatana padega. We Indians have fought elections by dividing people in the name of religion, in the name of caste, in the name of region but now will we divide people in the name of our nation. Attacks after attacks are happening and we seem to be doing nothing. People are dying and all we seem to get is petty politics.
It is time to act tough. Why should onus of ensuring peace be with us? What is Pakistan doing to avoid conflict? Pakistan Foreign minister has promised all help in the investigation. He has also proposed to form a hot line between head of intelligence of two countries. But first let them give us 20 most wanted terrorists that have found safe haven in Pakistan. No matter what Pakistan promises unless they will give us terrorists like Maulana masood and Dawood Ibrahim we will not consider them our friends. It is time now for Pakistan to take steps to diffuse tensions.

Hindu terrorism or evil propaganda?
Let me start this piece by asking what is the meaning of terrorism? As far as I know it’s a way of achieving a political or religious or some other mean by use of violence. It is a way of warning people that they would kill or hurt people if their demands are not met.
In the case of this so called Hindu terrorism what was the end of these so called terrorists. Was it to terrorize Muslims? Or was it to warn them? Or was it simply to take revenge? What of these motives has been satisfied by these so called terrorists? How would you terrorize Muslims if they don’t even know that these blasts were done by some Hindu Organization? How would you warn anyone if the person getting the warning doesn’t even who is warning them, why is he warning them and exactly against what are they getting warned? If it is to take revenge then what kind of revenge is this if the person doesn’t even know someone has taken revenge against him? Why did Sadhvi and her group did not take responsibility of this. Why didn't she used some phony Hindu organization to raise her demand if it was an act of terrorism?
Clearly this case does not satisfy any of the requirements of terrorism so it cannot be called terrorism. Even if Sadhvi Pragya is guilty then also we cannot call it Hindu terrorism at most we can call it crime committed by criminal minds but not terrorism. And by calling it Hindu terrorism media is defaming Hindus simply to improve their ratings.
