Do we need another 1857??

As I repose today and introspect on the last two days' mayhem that shook the nation by its roots, I was bound to renounce my phlegmatic state of mind. It's not the time to repose, is it?? But we always do and wait for the terror to strike us someday. Till then who cares?? Haah!! Who would give you time to repose then? You would be a part of those hundred dead bodies and billions others would be gaping at their televisions to browse through your your corpse amidst the thousands' others and forget yet again. Are we playing any game here? Have we become so apathetic to such incidences that we hardly care that our very own nation is in jeopardy now. Its enough of showing the national spirit. Mumbai spirit, mumbai's resurrection, what is it all? Mumbaikars are not getting their bread and butter for free. Just like others, they also earn them. So they have no option left but to stand right again and start a new day, forgetting what had happened and thank the Almighty that they are safe this time. Media calls it mumbai's spirit and forgets the cause of the discussion. Few more speeches, few more committees, few more inquiries, few more coverages, and a deafening silence follows for those who are really worried about their safety. They have their questions unanswered yet again. To add to their worries, the perpetrators get a green signal to act to a new plan which can cause much more devastation next time. Now this has become a way of life for India and its citizens.

The terrorists have their plan ready each time. Where are our plans? Are we the mute spectators? Could these son of the swines have ever dared to commit such crimes, had we been as potent as the US is, currently. What signals are we passing to the world? Are we showing the globe that we are the most impotent nation in the world and beg them to come and invest here despite this unpropitious and ghastly environment? We are losing what we have gained. If we lose our reputation on this global map, we are vanquished. Forget development completely.

Now its high time we should act. We have to show that we are all powerful to respond back and do this with the Iron Hand, as Mrs Azmi said today. Whom are we waiting for? We have to convey a global message to the perpetrators that we are no more vulnerable. Enter their territory, search them and take them to a horrifying destiny that they deserve. We have to respond as violently and as vociferously as we can to make that gong echoed in the complete periphery of this globe.

Voting the right party is something next to impossible. We have to live with these impotent leaders. But we have no options left but to make that happen through these servants only. So lets awaken them. Lets have a loud nation wide protest. Lets reach to each and every individual of this country and let him know that we, as a nation, can respond. All united for that eternal sunrise, for which we are waiting for long. Lets pledge today that we wont let a single foot of the anti nationals, lie on our "Matri Bhoomi" for whose safety some of our brave hearts sacrificed their lives in the past two days. Lets pledge that no more such sacrifices would be needed that to for the reason whose very roots could have been removed way back, had we been a bit awake since beginning. Lets move now. Then only we would be in the right position to repose yet again.
