Socha nahi to socho abhi!

This post is dedicated to all those fellow countrymen who have lost their lives in all the terrorist attacks which have taken place in our country's history. May their souls attain salvation.

Tensile strength: A measure of the ability of material to resist a force that tends to pull it apart. It is expressed as the minimum tensile stress (force per unit area) needed to split the material apart.
Usage in a sentence: The tensile strength of the Indian citizens can never be stretched up to the hilt.

Isn't it enough? How long are we going to tolerate violence and show off our worthless virtues of tolerance and non-violence? Are those responsible worth it? How long are we going to digest the news of bomb blasts and then wait for more serial blasts to take place? How long are we going to witness our Home Minister (who seems to be dozing off between two terrorist attacks...he doesn't seem to have any other work) come in public and condemn blasts only to hibernate and reappear after another city is attacked? Offer him compulsory retirement complete with combs, shirts, white shoes, et al. If we don't act now, terrorist attacks are going to be a commonplace event just like breakfast. The Government must be under a misconception that we have a short term memory for terrorist attacks too just as we do have a short term memory for scams, scandals and other unforgivable mistakes committed by a Government. Which part of the country hasn't faced a ghastly attack? A bunch of mentally disturbed and pathetically brainwashed people are waging a phantasmal 'war' and the rest of us silently embrace death and disruption only to stick to our 'peaceful principles'. It's frustrating to be just a bystander when innocent families are getting torn asunder for inexplicable reasons. It's time for the citizens to be given more powers pertaining to law and order. It's an appeal to the Government to involve us citizens in this 'war against terror'. We can be of some use. Obviously, we possess more capability than Mr. Home Condemner.

We know who is responsible. We know where the culprits are. The only roadblock is a major lack of political will which translates into lack of social responsibility. If we know that our neighbour is responsible isn't it ethical to hold them by their collar and reprimand them in a manner other than diplomatic pressure? If they have the guts to allow insurgents to cross over and if they have the guts to gobble up our territory, do we lack the courage to destroy terrorist training camps on that side of the LOC? Diplomats cite reasons like 'international pressure', 'maintenance of political stance' but is our 'global image' important than the safety of our citizens? Strike the iron when it's hot! 'Big Brother' too has evidence of ISI involvement in terrorist activities. Why are we fearing sanctions? And there's no question of challenging another nation's sovereignty because we will be targeting rogues in territory which we claim to be and is definitely an integral part of our country. An unstable neighbouring country has always spelled 'danger' for us. But we cannot allow them to destabilise our country. We can't sit like an impotent nation. There are things to be learnt from Israel. When they know that they are right and the opponent has committed a mistake, they don't hesitate. The opponent may be a group of militants or a host of troops from nations allied against them. And here we have been suffering for decades. Do you want to wake up tomorrow to read the newspaper which contains nothing but bomb blasts, bloodshed and casualties? The aforementioned minister promises to deliver justice every time and then disappears for reasons unknown to us. Can he ever deliver justice? He is the guy who wants to pardon the mastermind behind the attack on a hallowed site of our democracy, the Parliament!
How long are we going to tolerate these whimsical acts on part of a bunch of asinine terrorists? How long do those terrorists think we are going to get scared to move around? Do they think we are going to stoop in order to fulfill their demands? We won't but then how much power do we have in our hands? Once our elected representatives (including those ministers who have failed to get a public nod of acceptance in Loksabha elections) decide to bow down we have to bow down too! After all we are a democratic nation! And India's democracy, unfortunately, is synonymous to blind vote-ocracy! But do not get discouraged! You can do your duty by contributing whenever required.
The Indian media is one irresponsible group. Whenever there are investigations going on they feel that it's their duty to break related news. Don't they realise that matters which are highly sensitive or are required to be confidential must not be broadcast. They dog every step of the police force and convey news like 'a balloon vendor is being investigated' and 'the police have reached Chembur'. Can't everything be revealed once the case is solved? Are you working for the general public or for the terrorists? You are not alerting the common man but instead you are helping the terrorists' cause by keeping them well aware of the proceedings. Stop acting like Soap-Opera chhaap entertainment channels and grow up! Please don't help spread rumours and superstitions!
