Save our India

Yet another terror attack, yet another loss to the nation, yet another loss to Humanity. My heart goes out to all the Mumbai victims. I am not writing this blog to sound politically correct or a firm believer in the united religious diversity of India. Deeply disturbed by the set of events occurring in the last few days, I want to share my feelings with you.

Those terrorists are reported of being Pakistani nationals. Well, that’s not surprising. The Pakistan government will make all the promises to extend support to India but will continue extending help to the extremists groups operating in Pakistan. We just cannot rely on them.
Only one of the terrorists has been arrested and he has admitted of having being helped by some Indian Muslims in this ghastly act. What a shame! If India has to lead a fight against terror, it has to first find out the enemies who are living in her own land. I am not saying that every Muslim in India is involved in these sorts of acts but those who are, belong largely to this community. Off course some of the greatest servants of the nation have been Muslims but that does not take anything away off the culprits. It has been proven time and again, after every terror attack that terrorists get help from locals in their activities. These people just not realize that India is the one who is giving shelter and food to them. It’s high time they accept India as their own country. I remember my childhood days in my hometown when there use to be fireworks at a particular place in the city whenever India lost a cricket match to Pakistan. I used to wonder why they are doing it. I don’t know if they are terrorists or not but they have certainly got this anti-India feeling in them which when fuelled results in these kind of ghastly acts.
Now because of few bad people, the whole community has to suffer. There is a backlash expected against Muslims in India and if it happens, that will be another unfortunate occurrence.

What is the solution? What shall we do to stop this kind of incidents? How do we help our nation, our motherland to combat terrorism so as to save the lives of innocent people? Do we have to wait till somebody dear to us die in this kind of shameless act? It’s high time we start a revolution and make our government take some strong action against the offenders. We elect our government and we need leaders who are more inspirational, imaginative and energetic than the current ones. There is no place for ignorant and careless people in the system. All this would not have happened if the officials were careful while performing their duties. How can somebody cross the border like that!! What is our intelligence doing? Why didn’t somebody pay heed to the police reports of possible infiltration from Pakistan to India via sea route? Where was the law and order?
Yeah, they were busy stopping MNS workers who were kicking North Indians ass in Maharashtra. Can somebody tell Raj Thackeray that the NSG commandoes putting their lives on stake in Mumbai were not all Marathis? We are one nation and to have peace, we should forget about our regional, religious and cultural differences and stand together to fight against terror.

-Peace
