The
latest attack on Mumbai has caused great hurt
and anger amongst most Indians. The present
information age has given all the people an
opportunity to closely see the "Indian Response"
to terror in action.
One of the worst performers as usual are the
politicians. On one hand we have Mulayam Singh
Yadav and Arjun Singh who are blindly supporting
the terrorist SIMI to satiate their infinite
lust for power and money. On the other hand, we
have the so-called educated and sophisticated
politicians like PM Man Mohan Singh and Home
Minister Shivraj Patil. Instead of standing up
to the terrorist bullies these guys are begging
the world to stand up against terrorists but at
the same time are showing cowardice by not doing
the same domestically. How can you expect the
world including Pakistan to take steps against
the terrorists when you yourself cannot do the
same within your own country? There is an old
saying "God helps those who help themselves".
How about the PM helping ourselves first instead
of expecting others to fight our war? Do we
Indians talk about peace and compassion only
because we are cowards and don't have the heart
to step out of the comfort zone and take the
heat? Is that why India is a peaceful and
tolerant country?
One thing that clearly stands out in India is
that the brave people here are mostly the
crooked people whereas most of the bhadraloks
are cowards. You will find immense bravely and
boldness in the crooked bahubalis like Mulayam,
Lalu, Shahabuddin and Arjun Singh. On the other
hand, amongst the educated folks like Manmohan
Singh you will only find the weaklings.
To progress, a country needs honest leaders WITH
courage. Alas, in India the only people with
courage are the crooks with vested interests.
What kind of system have we created that
produces, supports and promotes the brave crooks
and coward bhadraloks? Why can't it be
vice-versa?
All the Indian citizens need to take the
following vow, "Next time I will try to show
courage in front of at least one corrupt/unjust
adversary be it the police, electricity board,
railway office or the irrigation department". If
you cannot directly stand against them, at least
try to support the person who is arguing with
them instead of watching the tamasha.
Leaders without courage and respect for justice
are no leader at all. In India we don't have any
leaders we merely have politicians.
The Mumbai terrorist attacks should be looked
from the prism of the millions of attacks on
India by foreign invaders since the past
thousands of years. Does the caste and language
spilt Indian society has any sense of justice
and courage to unite against the terrorists?
India became slave because we have had 'leaders'
like we have today for thousands of years. We
can only feel sad about the past but cannot do
anything about it. But how about doing something
about the present? People in the past tolerated
the corrupt ‘leaders’ of the society and we all
became slaves, are we going to do the same this
time too?

Well said brother, because the whole
terrorism problem is being created
and sheltered by our so-called netas.
Our government is so inefficient
that they cannot even open their
mouth against these people. The very
first opportunity they take is to
blame Pakistan because it is easier
to blame others rather than take the
blame on themselves. These leaders
are not bothered whether people live
or die. Have we ever seen any
politician's house or life being
threatened by these terrorists? Why
would it be when they are the ones
who instigate these things.
If only leaders could change, then
only people will change otherwise
they will continue to suffer
silently. - Seema Jyotishi - July

I totally agree with you sir. Though
our PM is a well-educated person,
he's afraid of taking strict actions
against terrorism. Just begging from
the world to stand up against
terrorism won't help. At least India
should take lessons from Israel.
This government can't do anything.
Its hands are tied. Just to remain
in power its has to compromise. Its
allies won't let it do anything .
To build a better India one should
give up the greed of power. Anyways,
this discussion is futile until
these politicians change themselves.
