The Fear Factor

Question: How much force is required to let an entire country come to halt?
Answer: Only 20 people. (Or even less)

Remark might sound absurd but in last three days we have witnessed the same happening on our home soil at my beloved city of dreams "Mumbai".

Our country has been under constant attacks from terror groups and this year we have seen the hardest hits, despite being cautious we are still very much vulnerable. The disgraceful act has been carried out by so called Jihadis for whom carring out such acts is a path shown by their prophet to meet god almightly by killing innocent people who don't believe in their god. Under desparate outcry one always tend to blame a specific religion or groups from the same religion but don't reach to such immature conclusion, the sheer scale on which the operation by the militants have been carried points out to the sinister strategic intent which surely is an attempt to destabilise India's rise. We India are in making of next global super power and surely as your height grows you make others feel more shorten which hurts a lot. We have always took a peaceful stand on any of the incident happened around the world and shown own fullest support to the needy. But being peaceful seems to have evaluated as cowardly which is the reason why we are under constant attacks from past few years. We are in state of war since we have got our independence. War between religions groups for a peice of land, war between politicians for a seat in the assembly and now a proxy way against terrorism. The only reason we don't have tranquility in our country is because we are not united. Before blaming others we need to wash our own hands. Breach of India's sovereignty is firstly need an evaluation within, I really feel saddened when I say that I have lost faith in our leadership, the people who we have voted to protect our rights are just staying back and safegurding their seat and life. We are out here helpless ready to face another bullet.

The condition in country couldn't go any worst than this when a common man is not safe any place. Government is just sitting back and watching the proceeding, none of our leaders have enough courage and guts to come to the war site and address to the nation, come to the Gateway of India and address the nation that we stand united and we are affirmative to provide protection and safety to citizens of India. The entire world is watching our steps as the calamity is getting international involving people being hostage around the world and at this point of time such casual approach from the top notch officials really puts our image on backfoot and our country in rather emabarrasing situation. The time has come to take hard actions, we don't require any prescription or remedy on dealing with attacks from anyone, we are currently in a rotten state from where no medicine would help. This would require a clean-up operation to ensure safeguarding a common man.

What's the use of country growing with a GDP of 8 when you can't even walk freely, when things are so hostile around then who would like to be part of the India shining campaign, I am afraid if the conditions don't change from this then the curtains on the shining India would fall shortly. But only blaming government would not solve the matter. Solution needs to come from within, from all of us. How many people must have seen these terrorist coming through to the city from Gateway of India, did anyone give a call to police on their suspicion? I guess not even one phone rang in any police station before the gun started blazzing. When people around asks why we are getting targetted so badly while US after 9/11 incident has not been targetted even once? The only reason is the proactiveness and awareness a common man has there, no one there gives a second thought before calling 911. We need to understand that law-order and police is here to protect us, barring all the incidents which have been flashed repeatedly on news channels over the currupted image of these fraternities, we have always seen these real heroes at rescue when even required the most. One must respect the courage and willingness of our soldiers who are ready to risk their own life without giving a second thought just to save a common man. The time has come for us to change our mindset for these gentlemen and pay more respect to them, they are our real saviors amidst all the turmoil around. Charity begins at home and one need to be the change they want to see in the world. The time has come not to be judgemental but to take action and follow them to ensure safety of yourself and your loved one. If everyone can take care of their own then life will be much easier and the world will be more secure, although quite a hypothetical statement but this is something which is a desparate need of the time we are living.

The target audiance for being converted into Jihadis are the innocent young men (Should be called boys) who belong to the a community for which surviving on their own is a mammoth task forget about taking care of their families. With a poor backgroup and an uneducated life style they are the right choice to breed and inculcate poision in heart for hatered against a special group of people or religion. The brainwashing for such people is so intense that the fear of life goes away from them and that's when they become the most dangerous animals for humanity. There is a very thin line between human and animals, we need to stand on the otherside of the line to ensure that we don't forget we are human with conscious and by killing someone, shading blood will take us no where other than a dreadful end where there will be no solace but only solitude, a dark tragedy which will eventually swallow the humanity from heart of every human, once that will happen there will be lots of blood and unanswered quesitons.
