Enough has been said about the issue already. I just want to add my two cents to it.
1. Its ENOUGH. We are tired of listening the constant rant about PAKISTAN. Tired of every news column realted to terror attacks having the P- word. Comeon , give us something else. We, the people of India rely on INDIAN govt, not PAKISTANI Goverment. Give us a five point rule, a few definite steps, something that makes us believe that you are doing something deifinite about dealing with terrorisms. Something that is not just a stupid political battle for the chair and not just sitting and waiting on your ass for the world ( aka US) to do something about it.
2. We do not want WAR. We do not hate Paksitanis. We do not want our young soldiers to die just because of your political games. We do not want our much needed money wasted on the war which is not gonna solve anything and will probably lead to an increase in terrorism. Why do you not think of investing a portion of your war funds into buying better security equipments, building better infrastructure, providing better training to the security forces and ofcourse building a better intelligence system. Because its harder than just ranting about Pakistan?
3. Are there any plans to curb the rising fanatical groups in India ? Did you get any cues when the terrorists said that they were avenging the demolition of Babri Masjid etc etc. No, do not pretend or even think that these are not the real issues and the terrorists just wanted to affect our economy.
I was raged at the thought of my city burning, and listening to the sorrows of poor innocent people victimised at the hands of those terrrorists. I was angered. I was desperate. I was hopeless and enraged. I wanted to make all the so called mujahideens stand in one line and put bullets in their chest. And I hadnt even lost a dear one or lost my life long savings or business. It is not difficult to lose yourself to anger or injustice. Its not THAT difficult to become a terrorist.
Please take some steps to follow the secularism that India stands for. The RSS and Vishwa Hindu Parishad which were the obvious culprits in Babri Masjid Demolition have not yet been punished. They still maintain close ties with the second most powerful political party in India. The leaders still issue blasphemous and arsenic statements.
Close on the heels is the Godhra violence. Unabashedly endorsed by the local goverment. Muslim families still struggling to get justice - and seeing the culprits get away with it slowly. The leader Narendra Modi still reigning the government. And yes the Supreme Court has recently said that there is not going to be any CBI enquiry in the Malegaon blast ( Not that it would have helped much, still). WTF. There are enough causes for Indian muslims to be angry. To claim that they are facing injustice. Do not take it too far. Take measures to stop it before the whole of SECULAR India starts burning under the strain of the various fanatic groups. (And no, I do not mean just the Hindu fanatics, I mean EVERY fanatic group) Take strict measures against ANYONE and EVERYONE who tries to take laws in his hands in the name of religion.
And also, I am proud of the way,
Indian Muslims have responded. But I have yet to come across a Hindu group saying that Indian Muslims are our brothers/sisters. And that terrroism has no religion. And that lets not target Islam as a religion.
Lets breed some more tolerance in our society. Lets show our children some more videos of Hindu Mulsim Sikh Isai , hum sab hain bhai bhai - videos. Lets make some serials where different communities are friendly and stand united for their own rights. Lets have some more chapters in the school books about harmony and humanity. About the greatness of all religions. About helping the fellow men inspite of their caste/color/creed/religion.
Its not time for war. Its time for solidarity and tolerance. Lets build our Fort strong. Lets guard our country stronger. But lets also inculcate peace inside it. Lets stand united. For there are enemies not just outside, but inside too. Do not let anything divide us. Lets not blame each other and kill each other any more. Amen.
