Mumbai Terror Attack: We are resilient by force, not by choice

Sphere: Related Content For last few days, I was thinking about to share my view about very recent Mumbai terror attack. By I was bit reluctant to write. I have been thinking there are so many people around the world has expressed their anger, frustration, agony, worry about this incident. If I don't express then who cares? But it is very much true that I am equally angry and frustrated whatever happened to Mumbai. So finally I am writing.


First of all I feel like slapping our home minister Mr. Shivraj Patil. This person has not taken any security measures at all after strings of terror attacks in India. There were attackes in Mumbai, Delhi, Gujarat, Malegaon, Jaipur, Bangalore. This good for nothing person always given assurance but no action at all. He would tell us to remain united in terror. But as a Home minster he did not take any proper action to stop, if not possible at least minimize, the terror attack in India. The only reason he survived on his post is he is undoubtedly the greatest loyalist of 10, Janapath ever had. Whenever there is any terror attack, all UPA ministers will come together and give statement to rescue Mr. Patil saying that it is not right to blame the minister alone it is the fault of the system. Here my question is these politicians are not contributing any thing to India, we are paying tax and getting salaries, benefits etc. They have been assigned to pubic service and elected by us. So it is their responsibility to protect the national interest and integrity. If they are not blamed for situation, who else to be blamed. Now Mr. Patil has resigned from his post. I would stay it is too little and too late. If UPA think that this way they can appease public outrage they are simply making mistake. Resignation of few ministers can not gain any kind of support for UPA. We want more action.

Our politicians are always ready to play any dirty game for vote bank. They can go to any extent to get a vote whether it is at cost of national security or pride and they know every trick to manipulate our judiciary system. They can do anything to woo any community to grab vote. UPA Govt is about to finish its term but they could not decide the fate of Afzal Guru, the prime accused in the Paliament attack. The reason is clear they do not want to hurt minority sentiment. These terrorist will kill innocent people without any reason but when court will order capital punishment for them, their wives and kids will try seek pardon from President with teary eyes and posing with the media in one hand and human rights activist on the other hand. All the useless NGOs and human rights activists will bring out rally with pictures of teary kids on the road supporting the terrorist's pardon plea. My question is where were all the activists when these terrorists killed all the innocents and made thousands of orphans?

If all the politicians believe that terrorists don't have any color, any religion, then who is stopping them from hanging those terrorists like Afzal Guru without any delay. Why are they playing dirty vote-bank politics over terrorism?

The reason is very much clear. They know even we also know that public memory is very short. We will get used to the situation very quickly. If any terror attack happens anywhere in India we will shuffle all news channels and will update ourselves with all the breaking news till the situation comes under control. It is like a daily sop serial to us which is only for few hours or few days on 24X7 basis. After that we will thank God that we have survived again in the terror attack and we will resume our day-to-day activity with same spirit as if nothing had happened or whatever had happened that is only matter of discussion not for any action. We will then start criticizing Govt. for not doing anything .News channel will allocate few time slots about the investigation proceeding of the incident. After few days other incidents or any breaking news will happen, we will forget the old one. Slowly it will wipe out from our memory and life will continue like same way. One thing is sure whenever we tell about spirit of Indians like we forget everything very easily, we are very resilient basically we common Indians do not have any choice because if we don't go out for work our family won't get any food for that day. So we are always forced to forget everything , anything whether that is good or evil.

Now those politicians or so called leaders are taking the advantage of helplessness of the common man. But now the time has come. We the Indians demand Actions, No words. Enough is enough.

These terrorists big questions mark on our sovereignty, national integrity and national security. We really need to show these guys that what we can do and to what extent we can go protect our country.
