Politicians should be their next target

September 13, 2008- Five serial blasts in less than half an hour left 30 people dead (toll likely to rise) and many injured. Where corridors of the hospitals are clogged with wailing kins of the victims, the Indian government is playing with words, saving its reputation and consoling them spuriously. Think of the survivors of the blast, their lives have met a fag end. They forever have to live with the scars of the mishap which could have been forestalled. Had government beefed up the security measures and made stringent law policies, several families had been living happily in their homes, people would have been milling around the markets freely and going to work tension-free.

The terrorists are on a loose because of our handicapped anti-terrorism policies and weak administration. The inner framework of our country is inoperative and frail. Though, we should take preventive measures and take our security in our own hands, the ultimate power is in the hands of government who safely abide in their Z-security zones. These politicians should be thrown out of their well-secured homes to the bumpy streets and shall be asked to lead a life of a normal Indian citizen. Apparently, this could only make them realize the problems faced by us-poverty, terror, hunger and more. Their bank lockers crammed with crores of green notes and their properties in abounding number have blindfold them, hence they do not realize what we go through everyday.

The right time has come, Indian government has proved its inefficiency time and again, it can neither take care of our security nor of our hunger and needs; therefore we should take command in our hands. What do you think? Shall we move to streets and demand our inevitable right to live safely, eat sumptuously and reside respectfully or just sit back and crib about the sad state of affairs in our country? wake up guys its our country, our nation, we have to condemn the unnecessary government domination and live life our own way. These tainted politicians are just raking-in moolah and stuffing their own pockets. In the light of the unfortunate Saturday and for the relatives of the casualties, let us make authorities realize that we will not take things lying down. . Where are we secured? lets ask them.

Indian mother and her children

Really! Children have become self-independent; after all they now want to have a separate home. Distinguish identity, autonomous control, independent culture and their own land, their demands are quite high, though. Sadly, they also long to have a no-interference guarantee from their mother. Effacing their mother tongue use, they even want to talk in their own language. Pursue their own interests and do all things. The worst part is that the Indian children are egged on by few poor Indian mindsets. Though all of them don’t want it, but the influence of mighty people is so high that they give away to big decisions. Doesn’t this aptly explain the current situation India is going through? Protests, terror, rebel in Assam, Andhra pradesh and J &K aptly questions Indian mentality. The half-joined bandwagon by Maharashtra also wants its residents to speak only Marathi. At least this is what a political nobody, Raj Thackeray wishes to propagate. According to him, if we reside in Bengal, we should better speak Bengali, Assam, should ideally speak Assamese and while in Gujrat, please speak Gujarati. His profound pro-marathi Sentiments negates the requirement of Hindi in Maharashtra.

Politicians like these are actually worsening the Indian Mentality, breaking people in different groups, thereby striving hard to cause a great Indian Divide. Speaking Hindi is our religion, our culture; practically it is our national language. Now, do we have to miserly use it, depending on the place we reside in? The cutting comments on the Biharis made few months ago, well suggest that Indian people are born through different mothers and hence should go back to their own mom. Is this the same Indian culture we all are born with? Respect for mankind, admiration for other religion, values and ethics seems to have wiped out of the Indian minds by some filthy and corrupt politicians. Immoral people and their inhumane acts are constantly pricking the Indian fabric, leaving us wondered whether the situation would ever get better.

When will people stop fighting over miscreant acts and live peacefully. Think about it, it is our own country and we are impelled to live our own life on the terms of other people. Our ancestors gave their blood to this country, their sacrifices are unforgettable and so are their values and beliefs, but who thought the coming generations would take their efforts to the drain. Forget foreign terror outfits, the biggest threat to India is from its own rabble-rouser politicians. Therefore, the reigns of the Indian Kingdom should be in the hands of young, educated and civilized people.
