Is this what we really want?

I was wondering, what foreigners are thinking about India. So, I just shot this question to my ‘friend of friend’ who is a citizen of America. He just gave me a quick reply without any second thought, "India =Mumbai Attacks!!” There are so many good things about India, but people started forgetting about it. Once we were remembered as Cultural capital of the whole Universe, but now? Are we losing our glory? As of 2006, at least 232 of the country’s 608 districts were afflicted, at differing intensities, by various insurgencies and terrorist movements. There is a very famous statistic which says, "Number of terrorist attack in India>Number of terrorist attack in Israel + Iraq ". The statistic goes like this

Iraq	30.8%
Afghanistan	2.8%
India	45.9%
Israel/ Palestine	8.4%

All these figures clearly emphasize our softened heart. Gandhian times are over; this is not the time for non violence. If someone tries to give us F**K it is our legal right to give them the same thing which they deserve very much, but India is still there in age old ‘Jesus era’, where if one slaps in your cheek you are supposed to show the other, but India went way beyond that by showing all our body to transnational terrorists.

America on the hand was vulnerable to terrorism before 9/11, but now it is not the same case. Americans are now better prepared to deal any kind of transnational terrorism. The government of America has uncovered and thwarted at least 16 terrorist conspiracies after WTC attack. After WTC attack all the different organization which was working for the security of the citizens was brought into single federal agency. Taliban’s were brought down to feet after the attack. Mujahidin were thrown and thereafter no attack was made possible in America but it is not the same case in India, we had a terrorist attack in Parliament (2001) and after that we did not bring all our security into a single stream, but rather we started celebrating our 60years of troubles caused by Pakistan by sending trains and buses to Lahore. In return, they gave us another prize by giving a wonderful attack in our economic capital by slaughtering all our foreign guests (Mumbai terror attack) and which badly affected our economy and tourism. Afzal Guru was convicted of conspiracy in the December 2001 attack on the Indian Parliament and he was sentenced to death by the Supreme Court of India in 2004, but now sentence is stayed and even this was made politics. Now, Afzal Guru is provided with all kinds of luxuries.

Our Indian government has always been lazy. Government of India sent the answers to queries which were asked by Government of Pakistan in regards to 26/11 after 45 days (As far as I know, this is the only case were accuser asked questions the government was not able to provide answers) . We never waged a war, but at least we should have given some diplomatic pressure and should have been little bit active, but we failed to do it too. Even this was made politics by Indian politicians, Minister of Minority affairs who is doing a vote bank politics came out with a spectacular remark saying that 26/11 is a work of specific sects radical groups and this fueled Pakistan and it started blaming India for its so called ‘false accusation’.

All these things show us one thing very much vividly, "We are softened". Nobody wants to be aggressive; at least we should react to things. Worst of all, Mumbaikars who were expected to vote in large numbers because of terror attack gave 45% polling. What is the reason behind low polling percentage? ,’is it Laziness or failure of democracy?’ All these things tells us one thing; we people are neither worried about our country nor our society. It is our duty to protect our Mother India and save our future generation from all these crimes by preventing it now.

If government is not able to provide security, let us say ‘No Taxes.' All these old gimmicks in the Indian politics should be sent home. If they are not able to do something,let us do something.

"No security,no taxes",let this be our slogan until we get proper security.

Be a Rebel and fight for your rights.

With worries,

Alagiri.
