Unpredictably Predictable

Just watched the two news popping out of the TV screens in the prime news channels. One was about the consecutive blasts that occured in Mumbai.The other one,Israel pounding upon Lebanon for releasing her soldier.what a great contrast???

One news was about a billion or so hapless & helpless people who do not have anything to do other than succumbing helplessly to the whims & vagaries of a rogue nation whose sole motive is to see that India bleeds to death.The other one was about a small group of people who know how to save a single life of their community, even if it amounts to being condemned by the international society of being a war monger.One was about the prime minister of a large nation who was pleading before the international community to chide his neighbour for being unfriendly & uncontrollable.The other was about the leadership which didn't have to plead anyone.Just actions which will prove that "Play with my peoples' lives at your own risk".One was about a strong leadership which knows how to answer the enemy in it's own terms.The other one was about a leadership which knows how to cry & beg in front of international community to save it from being harassed by other nations who even don't measure upto a quarter of it's size.

To add to the already traumatic moment came the disclosure from one of our ministry (whose sole duty is to be vigilant about the internal security of the nation) in public about the beforehand information of the blast,but sigting ignorance about the details. C'mon can we be so callous & careless about the lives of our people???Can we be so shameless to accept that we are helpless even when we have every means at our hands to tackle the terror????Can we be so spine less,so servile as to be looked upon as a nation which does not have even teeth to bite, leave apart the claws to tear when being attacked by a small group of people who even does not have the courage to come out openly decalring their antagonism towards us?? How many times will we have to face such an embarrassing situation??? How many more lives have to be sacrificed to let the wrong doers know that they are doing something inappropriate??? How many more years of celebrating ahimsa ??? How many???

No particular answers will be found for these questions.They will still persist for the time to come.The leagcy of Ahimsa which have been bestowed upon us by Mahatma will be carried forward even if it amounts to be nonsensical and directionless,even if it leads to thousands and thousands of deaths.The politicisation of peoples' death will be carried forward with vengeance by the so called ruling class.Celebrities will light candle in front of the media so that their so called fans will at least know that their god is still alive even if loads of people died.Media will carry the debates about whether we have become a soft target for terrorists for some time.People will discuss about this for sometime at coffe table & kitty party to show that at least they care about their so called society.NGOs will have a reason to show their existence.Monetary help will be declared which may not even see the light out of the so called Netas' bank balances.

Life will move on as it moved on after Kargil, after Kandahar,after Mumbai Bomb blast,after Gujurat train burning incident.But who will fill up the vaccancies those have been created for a mother,for a wife, for a son,for a daughter??? Who will bring back the lost pride of this nation which have been subjected to so much humiliation.Who will????
