Our Role In Countering Terrorism

[varalu 0]

I don't know how many more acts of terrorism it will take for our generation to wake up and realize that we are lucky to be sitting here in office right now. The things we used to take for granted are no more safe. Travelling in a bus or in a train, going out for a coffee, going for a vacation with our family. I am not saying that we should stop doing these things.We need to start exercising our right to vote. If our governments have failed to protect us and prevent these tragedies, then it is our right to go out and cast our vote against such politicians. It doesn't matter which political party is in office. But it does matter what the next government will do. We have to start caring. It is our indifference towards the political system in India that lets governments get away with not doing anything. It's time to give them their appraisal results. Here's what you can do the least:1) Keep your eyes and ears open, report any suspicious movement.2) Verify credentials thoroughly before renting out your house.3) Most importantly- Dont crowd to watch tamasha...do stay back only if you can help the victims. Like air being indispensable in everyone's life, facing terrorism is also becoming indispensable. According to me the solution lies in the hand of the politicians. Though we caste our vote, if all politicians are not good enough to solve a problem it becomes useless.People who enter into politics should be smart and intellectual enough to solve problems. they should be in a position to forecast things. Only then they can be a leader(have the right to be a leader). If this happens, we can find a solution for all hurdles. At the end of it... It comes to this.Our government is only a reflection of us.IndifferentSelfishCorruptIf we change, then only the government can change. Elections are all about vote bank politics. If people like us start voting, they have to choose appropriate candidates who can get our votes. How long can parties keep choosing criminals, corrupt people or fanatics to win their seats.

Yes...I agree with you 100%. Now a days, we can't walk on roads or going to shopping complexes, theatres or some where else without fear. Terrorists are everywhere...and our government is still sleeping. What a sad. Recently news papers printed an article that the Intelligence reported about the Mumbai attacks 2 years back(yes 2 years). What action our government(or police authorities) had taken about that report? Complete negligency and its cost is 200 lives.

 

In the last 2 years we faced many attacks...one after one through out the India, still no proper action had been taken to stop those activities. What is the reason? Intelligence failure? or Communication gap between departments? or Government negligency? All... Yes..all. Our intelligence department is sleeping. Our higher authorites are very busy with their personal activities. And the worst of all.....our governments concentration is on votes and thier gimmicks and promises to attract votes. Public security is not important for them as far as their personal security is safe.

 

And you are right...it is our responsibility to vote for the right political party, but no party is good. We just have to remember the old saying "A one eyed man is better than a blind man" and vote for these partys. Most of the politicians are useless. They know nothing. For example take our ex home minister. He knows nothing about the home department, but continued in that department for 4 years..just because of his good relation with higher authorities of that party. What is this non-sense? Which is important? our security? or their relation?

So.....come on people. Vote wisely for our better future...

 

Leaving all of the above....another most important one is our media. Very irresponsible media. I didn't understand what is their motive. Are they helping people or terrorists? Live coverage of the Mumbai attacks is the worst of all. Authorites had confirmed that the Terrorist head-quarters in some country had guide the terrorists inside the hotels with the help of the Live Coverage of attacks. How sad? Media have to think about it. They repeat useless news every half an hour just to irritate people. No use with most of the news our channels telecast. They are also some big threat to our socitey. Proper guidelines should be issued to control them.

 

India need a complete change, and it should start from the people. Because we are the government...we are the police, we are the law, we are the media.....and finally we are India.......if we change...everything will change.
