Yes in my view WAR would be the only intelligent option for us (by us I mean we Indian's)...but to be specific the war I am referring to would be primarily against the Indian Politicians and our corrupt system who make us pawn to their game, whenever they get a chance. Unfortunately we are being ruled by such people who even in such tragic situation worry of nothing else than what the opposition will think and plan, how much can they frisk off from the funds. How shameless and avaricious can they be? I am quite sure they would even sell the whole country to terrorist and extremist if they would be promised of money and position. Politicians are after all politicians, but again who elects them WE; in spite of knowing we are electing a thief, we opt to vote. I am not saying we should not vote we should vote to 'not-to-vote'; as all candidates are bigger burglar than the others. Thus, we should also fight a war against ourselves for being so spine less and bad decision makers.
The latest terror attack created a great hue and cry, but is it because this time the terrorist attacked the elite too. It seems that even the terrorist had noticed that to injure India it is necessary to prick the thousands of rich and famous too, apart from the million unknown hardworking middle class and lower class citizens. Look at the reaction that came after the Mumbai attack, just because it was basically aimed at the upper strata of the society there was such responses like resignation of the home minister, CM and deputy CM of Maharashtra etc not that any one is complaining. But before Mumbai, there was also attack on Bangalore, Jaipur, Ahmadabad, Assam and not to mention the daily struggle of our own Kashmiri's; there have never been such an outrage except empty promises from our government in the form of promises of safe India tomorrow...( a tomorrow that never comes), promises of compensation that hardly reaches the affected. Why didn't the government of the respective state take such decision then? Why didn't the central government demand the resignation of Home Minister earlier. If these steps were taken earlier then we could have averted the death of many later on. Can the death of rich and famous only force the government to take such steps? Is the life and blood of common man just a vote bank and nothing else. We need a war to fight this injustice against the greater section of the society. We need a war so that our voice can not only be heard but also answered.
Why to blame the terrorist alone. They attempted such an audacious act only because they knew how prepared and alert INDIA was. If we had a proper system in place this would never had taken place. We would never have lost great soldiers and commandos for the mistake and
irresponsibility of the politicians. As a citizen I would like some answers to some crucial questions concerning my life ...which is Can't the politicians for once stop fishing for votes and think about the country and the people who made them what they are today? Its been 61 years since India got freedom from British but why do we still follow the pagan law and rules implemented by them? Don't we, the Indians have enough knowledge and expertise to have our own unique law and regulation which could further be a paragon to others? Enough of being a copy cat why can't we be followed by others than we being the followers. Its high time, we need to come together and wage a war against all injustices, atrocities that we have faced till now.
If not today when will we get up and fight. There should not be more blood flown of any Indian and we can do it only by fighting together as one, as 'INDIANS'.
