India salutes martyrs – terrorist war on Mumbai

The war on Mumbai by handful of terrorists is just over. India is in the process of saluting the heroes from armed forces, who laid their lives for Mumbai to live on. The best of the quotes came from a retreating NSG. To a question from a media person, he said “nothing is impossible for us”. That is the right spirit and every Indian should keep these words in mind. India salutes the martyrs. Unfortunately, Indian governments, past or present, never really tried to prevent or prepare for terrorist attacks in any seriousness.

Now at least, after the humiliation suffered in the hands of a few 20-year old terrorists, the governments should wake-up to seriously review and update the existing (if any) crisis infrastructure to meet this type of situations. Any preparedness made should be practicable with clear-cut assigned responsibilities for implementation in short notice. Indian coasts (over 8000 km) are potential infiltration points for terrorists. In addition to meeting the surveillance/physical barrier requirements of the shores, it is also necessary to hire services of “informers” (Kabri) in the coastal villages to report to the authorities any unusual activities on the shores. All the fishing boats should be registered with the police. Any complaints of missing boats should be verified. Locally elected Corporator should be made answerable for any unusual activities in his jurisdiction.

It's time for every citizen of the country to wake up to this alarming situation. For today's youth, which swears by modernization and west culture, it's time to rethink of their priorities in life and get on the right track. It's not enough to just feel for the cause , but important to do something remarkable for the nation that has given a lot to us youths. Wake up people! its time for some introspection.

This is for the politicians who are the biggest enemies of our country- Where have the people disappeared who were showing their strength in fighting the people of their own country? It wasn't long ago that some of the struggling politicians were screaming all over the place to remove some section of the people from "their state"? Where are they now? I don't see or hear from them! where did they go? what happened to their blind, mindless followers? why aren't they even showing their faces or saying something to console the families who lost their loved ones? It's a shame to have such politicians who misuse the people only for their benefit. Such people weaken the roots of unity and help such terrorists to destroy us. Someone tell me where are the so called "strong men" of this state? where are they hiding? For such politicians, all I can say is - " Empty vessels make most noice".

I agree with you that vote-bank politics, (such as "out-siders") is the one that is followed in India for years. By voting them to power, the people indirectly support the dirty politics. Now, soon I hear that elections are coming. Why not the educated youths in large numbers come out, vote and defeat these very politicians? or all should boycott the pools and show to the world that Indians are serious and capable of changing the political scenario in India.XTRA080
