Enough is enough...


I do not remember the last time I cried for my country. I never even in my worst nightmares thought I would be crying for my nation with such a horrible pain besieged in my heart. I cry not because so many people were killed or that so many brave Jawans and NSG soldiers sacrificed their lives, but I cry because it is taking a lot more time for the ORDINARY men and women in the government to initiate any substantial effort to prevent another incident like this from happening.

 

         What on earth is going to motivate these thick-skinned politicians who are no more a part of our country than I am, to wake up and look around. To realize that it is the same country that they were born on. One that they would have vowed to protect and do anything it would take to keep it safe, at least once in their lifetimes. Well now the question is pretty simple isn’t it, were we deceiving our bloody souls, were we be unfaithful to our parents, our friends, our relatives, or were we just plain and simple stupid? Little do these SERVANTs of the nation realize that they have not only let down the people of India, but also their parents their relatives, their kids and their husbands and wives by not serving their motherland.

 

        But blaming the politicians alone is not going to solve the problem. I strongly believe that whatever happens to every single person is because of him/her being a magnet to that sort of a situation in some form or the other. It seems a very insane thing to say, but if we do a little bit of thinking and at the same time be 100% honest with ourselves while doing so, then we would 99 times out of 100 agree to the fact that we deserved whatever has happened to us. Fact is, more than 95 out of 100 people would not be truthful to themselves simply because they have their ego blocking them from doing so or other selfish or good reasons to be so. But what good are we to the nation than these bloody politicians if we are not ready to live life the right way rather than the easier way? That is precisely the attitude these silly politicians have, the difference being they are at a higher position and hence the fruits (poisonous ones) that they reap are far bigger and sexier than the ones that we ordinary people do…

 

       So…. I’d like to urge every single Indian to wake up and WANT a change to happen from the bottom of their hearts and keep that feeling of anger or sorrow until we see steady progress made and positive change happening. Americans wanted change to happen, Obama promised them that and hopefully will deliver it but that does not concern us at this moment in time. Our biggest concern is, we need a new way of thinking in this country where every single Indian should know what is happening in the nation for eg. - who is doing good and who is not. The country should be able to bring out and put to justice anti-social elements without any delay and flush out any unnecessary elements thereby cleaning our nation and forming a system where every single Indian is entitled to equal rights.

 

      What can be done…? Well for starters, every single Indian needs to think that our country is the best and should WANT from the bottom of their heart that our country will improve in every possible way and become a nation that other nations follow and seek advice from.

“India’s questions to the Worlds questioners”


Yes, you read it right... I have specifically named this blog so as to make people think of this entire situation in a different angle rather than the obvious angle of it being a nightmare for the people who have been through a harrowing experience one would not have dreamt of or even seen on the silver-screen.

       These last 60 odd hours have been the worst this nation may have ever seen since Jallianwala Bagh massacre. But at least Brigadier-General Dyer did not do it without warning and in closed grounds. I do not mean to exemplify the bloody act of Jallianwala Bagh but try to make a mere comparison of being man enough to fight in the open. These so called terrorists have shown and continuously show us citizens of the world that they are scared of others intimidating them and hence they burst out in fear-triggered anger and resort to such cowardice acts of barbaric retaliation to prove a point that neither they nor their inspirers can justify or stand up for, let alone be proud of. 

 

       There are some questions that need to be answered by the world’s big players. I say players in order to avoid the usage of word 'forces' as I am restraining myself from referring to the large nations as entities ready to do battle with each other for insane reasons such as ‘invisible WMD’ and the likes, as they truly are. I do not mean to say that India is not one amongst the nations lining up to be similar in stature and power like the other power mongers but it is all because of a few nations that truly believe that sheer military might makes them leaders of the world.

 

        The world is now posed with a lot of questions to be answered. How do we go about putting an end to this issue of terrorism and growing extremism against humanity? I do not see it as a war against Hindus or Christians or Muslims. I see it as a war between illiterate barbarians and the so-called civilized barbaric communities. Is it even a fight we were destined to fight amongst ourselves or is it something that certain anti-social elements within the so-called civilized communities that are manifesting a larger than life drama in order for other growing economies to hurt each other in the name of growth and achieving great heights which the developed economies will make impossible nevertheless.

 

        These developed societies are to be held by the scuff and asked questions on terms of what is being done in order to put in place world peace. In stead these power-mongering nations are doing everything that is putting both their own and other nations people into even greater danger of massive unrest due to the growing interdependence between nations from the West and Asia.

 

       I wish I could ask these questions to the presidents and prime ministers of all the countries who are capable of doing anything substantial in this regard. Sadly I am in no position to put these views across to those in question.

 

 “My heart goes out to the brave men who fought to rescue hostages, some of who have lost their lives during their efforts and also appreciates the non-stop effort the journalists of various news networks across India who have covered the various incidents across Mumbai. They have kept the general public aware of the happenings although it was a huge confusion as to who was doing justice to what was happening and who was blowing the incident beyond proportions to gain mileage out of the incidents is yet to be seen. I keep my opinions reserved for another well researched and proof read blog after this one.”
