Terror, Truly Deserved

Terror, terror everywhere. It's been one of the deadliest attacks ever not only in Indian history but also across the world. Thousands of articles, probably millions of comments on web, awesome media coverage, comments from politico-honchos is enough to prove the magnamity of the attack. 200 odd killed, well that's a kind of every 2 or 3 months affair in this country, but the style in which 200-odd were killed, took the whole world by storm. Debates on attacking Pakistan, forming draconian laws to counter terrorism, special forces being set-, all started with a lot of vigor. Seems INDIA is quite HURT. So, what next? ACTION. FORRGGETTT IT. In a couple of months, these initiatives,arguments, thoughts will actually go down the drain. And for sure. The simple reason being :

WE INDIANS BEING THE DAMN EMOTIONAL IDIOTS WITH VERY VERY SHORT MEMORIES.

It's a shameless country profoundly driven by self-interest. The entire nation sleeps and just sleeps. We have inculcated this great habit (sleep) over centuries. The country has been raped by British in the past, netas and babus in the present and will be held for ransom by terrorists in the future. We will be fooled by US, who just shows us a carrot everytime a voice is raised. Is there a way out to all this mess ? Can we improve from here ? Can we have a system wherein every Indian contributes a bit and thus stops complaining (about the system). I guess there would be numerous theories to support this, but my thoery gives it a flat THUMBS-DOWN. I strongly believe that we are very good at causal analysis, probably even smarter at passing the buck. But when it comes to taking the ownership, having a sense of belongingness to this nation, we fail miserably. I think we were much better under BRITISH-RAJ.

I never saw the British ruling me, but numerous films, articles, prove that British were one of the most awesome things to have happened to us. We were being tormented for some very right reasons. British made un-successful attempts to make us stay like HUMANS, if not nationals. We are like a spoilt lot who just wants to take it easy everytime. And that is the reason we are paying such a huge price and will continue to do so in future. I guess under BRITISH atleast some of our fundamentals like DISCIPLINE must have been corrected by now. Probably we would have taken some pride in our nation, would have felt for a while for the 200-odd killed in the terror strike in Mumbai. I am sure that to millions of Indians it just wouldn't have mattered.

The current state of affairs indicate states moving towards Kashmir. With our so-called Intelligence agencies (I wonder is there any kind of intelligence in them), the creeky security forces and the awesome babu-dom present amongst our great politicians, I am sure that many more terror attacks are yet to come. Whether it has been Hyderabad, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Guwahati or Mumbai, attacks have happened and with a great deal of challenge. Terrorists have out-rightly challenged and have attacked the state-capitals with WILL. Post-attack we saw our EUNUCH HOME MINISTER giving some cliched remarks. Our great R R PATIL, MR. DESHMUKH, took pride in making a mockery of this attack. No doubt, they paid the price, but has something improved. NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

We just don't have the capability to leave our laid-back attitude for a while and do something for ourselves or for our future generations. There are nations like Israel who have always given a "DON'T MESS WITH ME" reply to any perpetrator. They have had the guts to hunt down gunners of their athletes in South America and butcher them. But we just can't be Israelis, as we are Indians. We are too much bothered to just see and comment from the sidelines (and gosh, terrific comments...). My heart goes out to the poor child Moshe who lost his parents. Why did his parents opt of coming to India. TO DIE. And to leave their lone son wailing for them for his whole life. Probably no Israeli would feel like making it to this god-damn country. Or may be any other responsible citizen should never visit this great nation.

The common-man as ever is the most affected. Lives change for people those who lose their near and dear ones. Empathy flows-in and with time flows-out, and life just goes on. Many people come forward, extend a helping hand, show warmth and solidarity. BUT FOR WHAT. The same hienous and barbaric acts to be done again and some of us be subjected to atrocities again. Probably WE DESERVE THIS.

I have much more to write on this. But would like to put an end to this. I cannot put an end to terror or bring some succor to my fellow Indians but atleast I can put an end to incite more feelings. Alas, I am also one of the shitty Indians possesing the same qualities who just wants to get easy, having no patriotic feelings. One day, I would be a victim of terror, but I would not complain as I DESERVE this. I would not shed a tear for any of kins who may die as I DESERVE this. I would not blink if villages, towns, cities are decimated as I DESERVE this.
