Mumbai (July 13, 2011) has seen many terrorist attacks by Islamists
By Mehak Budhrani
A day after the cabinet reshuffle, 3 bombs went off at Mumbai’s heavily populated and commercial locations. Very easily the media and the government say that it is the spirit of the people to move on to their normal lives. Well, the question we need to ask is do we have a choice? Is our spirit being taken for granted or are we letting our spirit be tested everytime there is an attack?
In the past decade, there have been a total of 105 blasts, over 918 deaths leaving 2533 injured. Cities all over India have been attacked and our commercial capital has been attacked more than once! How much is too much? We have heard and seen the blasts all over India, but what has been done to secure our lives? These recurring acts just go to show that our lives add very little value to the spirit of the nation. Till when do we want to let these people trample over us and leave a mark of victory with their henious crimes?
We boast of having one of the strongest military and naval bases in the world. Then how can one of the world’s most strongest nations have recurring attacks? There are two points to be noted here:
1. Why isn’t there anything being done about our nations security?
2. Why aren’t we as citizens raising our voice for our own protection?
What can be more important to a nation than the citizens itself? The right to protection has to be guaranteed by our Government. Committees, such as the Pradhan Committee, were set up after 26/11 but till date the report never materialised and it still lies on paper. Is it because of this lacunae in the Government Mumbai was attacked yet again on 13th July 2011?
We are not living in the stone age where we have to fight for land or peace. This is the 21st century and we have the right to live in peace and harmony. Treaties have been signed for peace but what use are those treaties when they are not followed.
Our Mother, India, and her children have a very high level of tolerance and hence we are just watching all that is happening before us.
Our eyes are open, mouths are shut. Our ears are open listening to the the loud dhamakas around us, but our hands do not have the power to stop anything. Even though India got her freedom in 1947, It will be long before we will be free and independence still has to get its true meaning.
In the past few years, India has witnessed frames of fear and terror in different cities at different times. The people want answers but don’t know where to seek them from. They want peace but all they get in return is war. They want the right to move freely, as ensured by the constitution, but everytime they go out they’re scared as they don’t know whether they will return home to their family the same day.
Our freedom always comes with a price. Subash Chandra Bose said, “Give me your blood and I will give you freedom”. This either means that we give our blood for the freedom we deserve, or give our blood for nothing.
We are hopeful that this war against terror will be won. It requires cooperation from our Government, the Military and the common man. It is not an individual conflict. This is for our mother, our India, our home. We have to understand that terrorism is not a natural disaster that is an act of God, but it is a threat to our national security and our ancient heritage which can be avoided and has to be stopped by us.
From this day on, I pledge to declare war on Terrorism in India – do you?
I dont think this war is going to end easily. Not until the hindus wake up and realize what they’re up against. Because the congress is not going to do anything for us. Yet, every time there’s a terror attack, hindus behave as if it is some bollywood movie they’re watching, as if it has nothing to do with them. And so the next day they return to their routine as if nothing ever happened. They dont seem to care that their mother india is being raped and violated so brutally! This mentality of watching passively and doing nothing while your own brothers are being killed and murdered is disgusting. A wise man once said–“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” – and this sadly is the state of our nation.. and we all are to blame for this.
This quote is by Edmund Burke, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”. He was famed after the impeachment proceedings of Waren Hastings who was the first Governor General Of India appointed by the East India Company in India. He is well known for his atrocities india esply in the then Oudh province, now UP and Lukhnow area Nawabi Kingdom. He had abolished one complete village in overnight marauding after a couple of British officers were killed whom they suspected belonging to that particular village. I am forgetting the name of that village which has been recently dug out in archeological research in that area.
This is just due to this quote in Priya’s comment. I hope she will like to know the name of that wiseman.
As regards the India’s war on terrorism, I see no choice given the present milieu. The politics in today’s world is a global scenario controlled by the US and her allies. Rex non potest peccare still rules though it is said to be a defunct maxim. Pakistan is said to be a dubious War ally of the dubious Master. But you cannot question the ‘King’. What I see is a very gloomy time ahead and let us wait for another year to see its outcome.
God bless
Thank you Dr O.P. Was not aware of the source, makes it so very ironic now considering the nature of the not-so very-wise man then who said it. Yet, it does not negate the wisdom contained in the line. If hindus do not wake up and fulfill their dharma, if they do ‘nothing’… they will continue to witness such brutal destruction as the evil will go un-opposed and unchecked.

Because of congress
– 90000 POWs and half of captured Pakistan was returned
– PArtition of India happened
– Indian muslims still remained in India on the pretext of secularism. Why did they even create Pakistan then? So that 2 of them can live in Pak and rest in India? A nice read :

– Terrorism is on the uphill

– We have muslim reservaton, muslim quota and muslim what not and now with the communal violence bill, it gives immunity to the muslims as well.
Manmohan singh stated : “Plans for minorities, particularly Muslims, must have the first claim on resources so that benefits of development reach them equitably.”
Is that secularism? It is a direct abuse to the secularism!!

– 1984 sikh genocide happened, which was not a natural riot but a staged murder of the sikhs by the congress goons.
– Afzal Guru and syed shah geelani roam free creating more and more of anti-India waves and terrorists.
Instances are many. One must understand that Congress is a slave to the minorities which adores Osama as “Osama Ji” and maltreats patriots like Ramdev and Satya Sai who built hospitals and drinking water facilities for free as pakhandi. It is a party which investigates on the welfare organizations like Satya Sai trust which accepts donations for the welfare in return, but gives money to the welfare of the terrorist families and treats terrorists like kasab with Butter chicken and plethora of conveniences.
Thus, terrorism from India can never be eliminated if anti-national, terrorist supporting parties like Congress will remain in power. Lakhs of crores of scams and the money goes straight into the safe of these anti-national and terrorist supporting thieves.
Even if a handful of us have awareness of what is happening to our mother, we should take a strong step and come what may stand united. Ants are the smallest of creatures in the world, but they are an army together and move things 100 times thier size just to serve the queen and protect her. We are 10000 times the size of ants and yet we are not as strong as them because we are living in fear. If we come together, stand united and desire to protect our mother, I am sure it will make a difference. I think whatever little we can do for Bharat Ma is less. I feel even being born here is a blessing. I feel hurt when someone hurts her. I am sad because instead of caring for her all her children have just left her.
I agree that the need of the hour is to get our voices together so we may be heard by all the concerned – that we the people of India have had enough of this unnecessary violence and aggressive tactics of a handful of undirected weaklings and we will not take it anymore. Let each individual Indian citizen protect his/her birth right of living free of fear. If this terrorism does not stop and if our self defense requires us to take extreme recourse, we should not hesitate to act to protect ourselves, our loved ones and the innocent society.
“It requires cooperation from our Government, the Military and the common man.” Substitute the word ‘common man’ with ‘corrupt (wo)man’. Secondly remember that today’s politics is governed by FBI/CIA HQs all over the globe. People have been suspecting the bigger hands in the perpetration of these blasts. We know that earlier when these Mujahideens were raised in Afghanistan against USSR, there was a tacit understanding between US and Pak that these Mujahideens could be used in Kashmir after the war against USSR. Exactly it happened that way.
Soon after the USSR was demolished, Kashmir burnt because all those Mujahideens were turned towards India. US/Pak had to engage these monsters somewhere. But US abandoned Af after 1989 and this angered OBL to attack US on 9/11. It is a vicious circle of clash of vested interests of the big wild bulls. India is paying for its right to live as a free and sovereign nation. Unfortunately India has a bigger enemy in its inside borders than outside.
That is why I said briefly in my earlier comment that it is a global problem. We have 7 Billion people but the size of globe has not increased pari passu. This is the bigger problem. The last one century has seen three and half times increase in population numerically but the effective or factual increase is >ten times due to increase in awareness and expectations. Hence it is time to wait and watch.
Last Mumbai dhamaka takes place on the eve of arrival of Ma’m Hillary Clinton. Was it just a coincidence or intentional, is a matter of concern, not debate? A crude and stern message was passed thru.
God bless
the whole things revolve around the chair and power so getting in power politician need a vote bank, so for pleasing particular vote bank they never take any strict action against terrorist by showing their secularism face
this is the main reason always true Indian suffer.
i hope with our scientific knowledge and idea we will able to solve the world problem.
