According to me the real threat is terrorism and the real enemies are the flaws in our system.
I am sure there must be thousands of blog posts on what is happening currently in Mumbai, and I am just trying to make another post to tell how impotent and useless our current security systems are and will be in the future. The police men still hold sticks (lati’s) to control the public. With over 110 crore population and this figure increasing rapidly I seriously feel we need a strong defense mechanism to protect the peace and harmony in our country.
I don’t see this happening the population is exploding and at the same time number of people who are getting enrolled into the military or police is declining. The reasons are pretty obvious.
• Indian Military cannot compete with the hefty salaries which corporate pay. ( 6 pay commission has come up but are they marketing it well?)
• Work culture of military officers, as we hear more and more military officers are committing suicide year on year.
• Parents somehow never encourage kids to take up such risky options, all parents want their children to take a hefty salary and live a happy life. ( it’s the case not just with defense services but it’s the case with any other off beat profession say journalism or Politics for example)
The problem is simple and clear, the problem lies at the grassroots of this nation. We need good educated politicians first, keep a retirement age in Politics to 50 so that all the old people are washed off, they can definitely act as advisory members but I don’t see them leading the country from the frontline. Increase the defense budget, IT might be the booming industry but it’s important to have a good defense system first. Our police constables needn’t risk their lives by trying to fight RDX with lati’s.
Many things are running in my head currently, is shoot at sight a solution?? Should the government give shoot at sight orders to whomever they feel are suspected terrorist? I feel that would be the worst thing to do, I am sure people will start suspecting every Muslim and I am sure they might shoot me if I grow a beard? That would eventually make the daily lives of people worse and in turn make the terrorists happy for spoiling the harmony of the nation.
Rahul Bose rightly said in the debate in CNBC- “don’t make daily life miserable, we are living in an age of terror and we will have to live with such terror attacks instead of suspecting everyone and spoiling the harmony of the city”
People started classifying terrorism, whether it’s the rich or the poor whether its through bombs or by guns, they are eventually able to spoil the peace and harmony of this nation. Kill ‘em all . why didn’t the government hang the Indian Mujhaheden people, why are they still alive??
I guess I can keep writing this forever and ever, and keep the blame game going. But I feel its time for the real brains to start working now. Get a concrete solution to this crisis. Don’t leave it on the government they will be busy with their election campaigns soon !!
Why we aren’t as patriotic as the Americans or for the matter of fact Pakistani's are?
Why are we always the soft targets?
Is our NSG good enough?
Hello Indian “It’s time to wake up my dear !!!”
