Yet another day, yet another blast. Indian cities are no more a safe place to dwell. The fear of coming out of the house and never returning back has began to haunt people living in Indian metros. Earlier bombs and blasts were synonymous with the Kashmir valley, but now the show unfolds anytime, any day and anyhow.
How can we Indian Government be so complacent, when it comes to the securing our lives. If the super might of USA could not deter the assassinates from destroying the twin towers, how can they ever imagine that Indian streets are safe. If a country which has won half a dozen war in its history could be physically vulnerable, we shouldn't forget India has been ruled by invaders and its has people always a victim of cheap politics; No wonder we are the biggest democracy of the world. First Jaipur, then Bangalore, Ahmadabad, Surat and now New Delhi. 2008 has already proved to be a "rocking" year, with still 3 and a half months to go. It is time that we put "Deals" aside and think about the "Deads".
From Railway Station to the Bus Depots, Markets and even the Schools they all suffer from heavy impeachment of security. We rely heavily on those decade old "wooden" metal detectors that do not work even when there is power, leave aside 10-12 hours of power failures(and mind you nuclear deal can not improve this situation). A small country like Israel was all set to destroy its complete enemy land just for two of its soldiers who were kidnapped. Indian Government come to All India Radio and give lecture on the unity in diversity of our nation. Its time to change attitude.
Inflation is going down. Main hurdles of Nuclear Deal is over. Oil prices are again touching double figures. Leave aside Kashmir issues, its an age old problem. Its time government sit and discuss some serious security measures. Securing energy needs is not as important an issue as securing the main resources of the land-its people-is. We can not live long in this fear. Government should redraw a plan to secure us and opposition party should stop playing cheap politics rather become a part of the campaign lest we all will succumb to the surrounding violence.
