India, the biggest democracy of the world, one of the most balanced economies and the richest in cultural heritage has truly been a land of balanced features. Hence could be aptly compared to a beautiful flower pot with colorful flowers.
However in the recent past, this flower pot has been facing severe threats from inside the country, along the border and from the other side of the border, thus ruining the balance to some extent.
The 26/11 Bombay
In the name of judicial trial we are just feeding terrorists, be it Azmal Kasab or Afzal Guru. Everyone is evident that they would be hanged till death.
It’s been 8 years since the parliament attack took place...Yet Afzal guru, the main culprit is not punished. Leave about Kasab.It’s just over a year for him.
Though in this year long judicial trial we have earned evidence about the involvement of Pakistan
Let’s assume that Pak acts on it and punishes the responsible ones. But does it end there?
It would be interesting then to see what does our politicians (so called Leaders) do…Will they keep quite and satisfied? If they do, it depicts that our EGO has satisfied and which resembles that the peaceful fight we are putting across is just to satisfy our ego…Hope it doesn’t turn out this way.
Terrorism and Naxalism are hurting a lot not only to life and property but also to the public relations and
Social development... How?
Reports suggest that Rs.31 crore has been spent on Kasab in the past year. The money could have been used to save over 600 children who died of heart diseases.
It is estimated that 6000 people have been killed by Naxals in the last 2 decades. .and over 240 in chattisgarh in 2009 alone. This number is much more than the victims of Bombay
What did we do if a political party attacks Bihar/UP students in Maharashtra , burnt buses and other public property? Who took action against ‘Raj’ when a Bihar boy died in the attack…?
We keep quiet when maoists blast our schools, buses, Police stations, yet we expect them to change, we provide employment and forgive them once surrendered!! Isn’t this a brilliant strategy for the unemployed… huh?
Can you name a naxal who was hanged? If a foreigner attacks us, then it’s a national issue and it’s taken as a stain in the Indian Security System…and if one of us attacks…its just NEWS!!
Why is this difference in approach? A culprit is a culprit and he deserves to be punished.
It’s time to act tough .Its not just enough to pay homage to the three top cops or the other innocent killed in Bombay , its not just enough to build a memorial or lit candles around it on every anniversary. Its time to control rather act on it on a serious note...
Corruption and injustice will help these anti social elements flourish. It’s never late and we could make the system blossom again by taking few effective steps
Do we have solution for this? Who should take charge? Police?
Yes.Police… He is the one in my view will be the key in this change.
Just physical fitness and an average of 50-55% in education isn’t just sufficient .Moreover being a police is not doing a job for money. It’s social service.
We bribe a traffic Police (with a 50 rupee bill) who charges 1000 bucks for not having a PUC.
Will we bribe if the fine itself is 50? And most importantly the sum goes to the Govt.
How many of us pay the tax without deceiving (duplicate medical bills, rental agreements etc.,) the Govt? Will we do the same thing if the tax is low?
Instead, a mandatory tax cut (no exemptions) should be made based on the salary for all employees and this is for providing proper wages/technology/weapons for the Police.
I may not be an economist, I may not have sufficient knowledge about the tax systems and I may not understand the serious aspects of police or military recruitment systems. .but I am educated enough to understand its failures and consequences, I m sensitive enough to understand the emotions of the society. All the above questions are raised by a helpless Indian in me.
P.S: I have used the word “Bombay
me to say Mumbai ;-)
