Familiar but cruel story
"We will not tolerate this any more" - Prime Minister Dr.ManmohanSingh and UPA chair person SoniaGandhi.
"This is a result of the minority appeasement policies of the Government which is always soft on terrorists. - BJP leaders and other NDA partners.
"Breaking news: Terror strikes again. Attacks in ________ (Hyderabad/ UP/ Mumbai) claims the life of innocent citizens" - Flash news in Major English news channels in India.
"Oh! God, so many people died mm " - The reaction of most of the public in India, before changing the news channels to continue watching the cricket match or the serials.
---- Familiar story, isn't it. Ya these things are said every time some terrorists strike some parts of India killing innocent people. No one knows what these terrorists intend to achieve. Even the Indian intelligence services seems to have no clue. Time and again the only thing they tend to discover is that the terrorist apparently had some links to Pakistan. Great discovery indeed, discovery that a common Indian makes the moment he sees some terror related news. May be perhaps that is the reason why, terrorists this time around sent an Email saying that they are in no way related to Pakistan. And again great discovery was made by the Indian Police- "The contents of the Email may not be true. It might be just a smoke screen" - Discovery which again every average Indian could have made.
By the way, i was wondering just what the terrorists are achieving by this. Any way what they are doing is not affecting India , it seems. Of course the only change they make in the lives of ordinary Indian is that they force them to listen to barters of complains by the various political party leaders against each other for letting the terorists to do such a thing. Other than that an Indian seems to be not affected too much, right.
No, on outside it may seem so, but wait a minute and look closer. When you look deeper you will find out that some people have died. For country with hundred billion population, death of few individuals may not matter much, but for the family with five members? What if the innocent victim of terror happens to be the lone bread winner of the family. Then the family not only faces an emotional crisis but an financial one as well. Even the loss of a limb, hand and other such things that happen in such terror strikes may result in those unfortunate families having to go through lot of crisis.
This is the exact reason why these terror attacks hurts me more. Next time when you see an terror related news in an news channel, just imagine for a moment what would have been your reaction, if one of the victim was your blood relative. It may cause you a few sleepless nights. But don't worry. Those few sleepless nights wont harm your health much. Rather it would help in creating a society which is deeply against any terrorist activity, which is exactly what we want if India needs to develop as a terror free country in Future.
