A sense of desperation and anger

Last few weeks have been of desperation and anger at the site of continuing terror attacks and the paralysis that has stuck not only governance but our feelings too.

It is about 2 very different events that seem unrelated but have one thing in common the paralytic governance. The audacity with which 26/11 attacks were carried out are being matched by the same degree of lame duck response from our government. As the news related to attacks fades from first to inner pages of newspapers so it will fade from public memory also. And we should not forget that so we will sow the seeds of further attacks against our beloved country ,people and everything we hold near and dear.

It is history repeating itself, remember always the marauders have come from WEST, be it Alexander, Bin Qasim, Ghazni , Ghori or Clive. And finally they have overshadowed our destiny. If we do not want the history to repeat we have to change the response from what our forefathers gave to them. We have to be on offensive instead of fighting the war in our own land and facing destruction as Shivaji did.

Pakistan remains the only state in the world to have terrorism as state policy after all the Arab states have resigned from it latest being Syria. PLO is not worth calling a state and Palestine has a long way to go before being called a nation. But as it is said ‘All the road lead to ROME’ so “All the terrorists lead to PAKISTAN”. It is a deadly potion of army, ISI and Islamic jihad with a dangerous spice of nuclear weapons which can revive the memories of holocaust. The only way out is not destruction of terrorist set ups but the destruction of Pakistan itself to make the world a terror free heaven. We Indians have to get ready for a long drawn battle because we are the front line against these marauders and we only are going to deal a death blow to this dance of terror. But this will only happen if we show these lunatics of what power we weild not in the mouth but in brawn, raw power which will frighten their wits and remove once and for all any foolish notions of seeing the crescent flying over RED FORT once again. So offence against terrorist camps first and then against the largest bunch of terrorists i.e Pakistani army is the only answer.

The second event is from Kolkata, High court has outlawed all the 2 stroke autos which use adulterated fuel and have earned Kolkata the title of most polluted city in India from 31st Dec. But they continue to ply unabated because our state government does not have the guts to face them and put them off the roads for fear of losing vote banks. It did not do anything in the deadline of 3 months which was given by the court and is now behaving as if it is the savior of auto drivers. This paralytic governance which is not ready to see problems in it’s eye and try to remove them cannot face the dauting challenges which confront us in this century.

The only answer is PEOPLE awakened and enlightened who want a better future and the place for our country in the comity of nations which it rightly deserves.
