The Terrorists & Missing Detterent

25 odd blasts in 24 hours
2 cars full of explosives found
1 sketch of a terror suspect
2 telephone numbers of suspects
1 IP address
BUT

NO CLARITY or CLUE who actually is behind it

WHY?

WHAT AILS THE INDIAN LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES

It has been years and years of terror attacks in different locations across the nation few thousands have died in these barbaric attacks on humanity. Those who have suffered mostly are poor people, defenseless people, people who are simpletons living in difficult conditions and who in most probability never ever hurt anyone ever. But then life is such. Death is instant and never knocks before coming in the forms of bombs; in different shapes sizes and forms. The bullets which flow from the Kalashnikov's
.

We have yet to come across one such terror-act which has been investigated successfully and all the culprits, the conspirators, the activators, the perpetrators and their support groups have been put behind bars, sentenced for life or death.

For the few years now we all have been debating whether or not the highest court of India - The Supreme Court of India - which had upheld the sentence of death to the mastermind behind the gruesome attack on Indian Parliament, on 13th December 2001, Afzal Guru should be hanged till death or not.

It is indeed a shameful moment for all of us Indians as we have collectively failed to put pressure on the Government of India to act on the sentence given towards the culprits, who have been found guilty. Imagine! These are clear political reasons behind these blatant misuse of legislative powers in derailing the growth of the nation as a whole.

Who targets a hospital? Kids? Old women? Old Men?

None but people who are inhuman and mentally ill.

Our policing has failed once again and so has our Intelligence. I have always wondered what has our Indian Intelligence departments like the RAW and IB have contributed towards making India a safer place?

Can anyone remind me of any incident where our Intelligence agencies acted and STOPPED before anything ghastly could occur?

NONE.

We should scrap these agencies and sack the people who run them. They all have become stagnant and slack. Recruit new fresh young talent and train them. Use them to the advantage for the nation. If anyone has read that book India's External Intelligence - Secrets of RAW written by an ex-RAW official Major General V.K.Singh

The challenges which lie ahead of all Indians is to be a part of the nation-building process and not just go about doing their monotonous 9to5 jobs and be selfish. Freedom as I have earlier mentioned is not well defined for us Indians. The Generations X Y etc etc doesn't know the value of freedom. There is no context for them to become responsible citizens of India. There is no sense of National Pride except for when they are in a cinema theatre where they stand up in respect when the National Anthem is played. There is more to it than just the anthem and the flag.

I appeal to everyone to become more aware of their own surroundings and help India become one strong nation and educate themselves on how they can contribute to tackling these maddening terror attacks.

Come Together!
