The Day when Luxury became Tragedy!!

“They came, they again conquered us and we kept saying that Sprit of Mumbai/India can’t be defeated.”

Let’s not fool ourselves anymore; the fact is that somewhere down the line we are failing as a nation. Last few days every Indian would have pondered enough to arrive at a conclusion that our individual and regional priorities are overshadowing our identity as a nation.

I also came to a conclusion that our political system needs to work on the rationale; right now it seems, only guiding forces are unguided emotions (jingoism). It is extremely sad state of affairs for the world’s largest democracy. Now, issue is not exclusively about terror and terrorism but also about the way we conduct ourselves. I am sure in a week or so all these events would turn into a hazy memory. I am ending these worries here only because each one of us knows these things very well.

Terrorism has gone parallel with the globalization and it seems that they have better global networking and cooperation among themselves. Nothing seems to curb their activities and it is for sure terrorist are not affected by recession. India’s biggest problem is that it had tried to be unrealistically super modest with its neighbours. Our geopolitical situation is such that, terrorism is always risk to us. For these terrorist, we manifest the western world due to our liberal outlook and secular style of living. Therefore, western world should understand our circumstances comprehensively and support us strongly to wipe out terror from the sub-continent. If we have a dream to be a prominent power center then we need to act like one, let’s not be soft on terror and we should now take them by surprise something they keep doing with us. West doesn’t actually know what terror is all about; India is surviving it for years.

Why are we calling it India’s 9/11… I don’t really understand; do we really need to follow these naming conventions. To be a super power, it is required to have your own standards otherwise we will always end up looking for imported solutions. Before this bloody event probably attack on Parliament was India’s 9/11. It is high time we should come above all this and understand that it is an attack on the very existence of India and a continuous heinous attempt to rip us apart.

It is the time to give real meaning to our independence and make those souls proud who altruistically stood for our freedom. Next time when we vote, we should vote for INDIA not for our petty individual identities.
