Post 26/11: Jaago Yaaro:

If not sixty, during last forty years we have been choosing our leaders who thought that their job was to rule us and fill their coffers. In their efforts the bureaucrats and criminals joined them and corrupted the whole system to the present extant. They were sleeping over the problems of national security fully knowing the nefarious designs of China and Pakistan. Our politicians and bureaucrats knew well what our neighbors were doing across the borders and inside India. Still they could not stop the inflected wars and continuous terrorist attacks on our soil culminating in 26/11 when a couple of terrorists took the whole nation to ransom and put India to shame. It is a matter of great shame that a tiny “rogue state” like Pakistan and a few terrorist outfits there can cause so much of damage to our lives, property and prestige again and again and we do not retaliate. Why we have to be on the defensive? Why India with ten times of their size, resources and military might is not hitting them back in the same manner? It is because our leadership is disoriented, weak and selfish. Our leaders go crying to America and others to save us from Pakistan and its terrorists. Why can’t we do it ourselves? Are we afraid of the nuclear weapons Pakistan has? India has much more and better ones. If they drop ten we can drop hundred and finish them all together. If so they should be more afraid than us. Are our leaders waiting to fight with Pakistan and terrorists when they become better equipped with more nuclear weapons and resources? We have to fight our war ourselves. If war is inevitable, which it is, let us fight it now than later. They have entered in our house and killed Hindus, Muslims and Christians, Americans, British, Israelis and people from other countries. The whole world is supporting India and condemning terrorism and knows that the killers were from Pakistan. There can be no better time to teach them a lesson when the whole nation is united on the issue and world opinion is in support to finish the terrorism. We can not expect Pakistan to finish terrorists from their soil and hand over the terrorists to us because there is no ONE government to take decision. There is a weak civilian govt, self imposing Army, ISI and the Taliban groups supported by Al-Qaida. Defensive attitude will yield no immediate results. Leave the diplomacy for the long time strategy and take quick direct action to save the national prestige. Even though tolerance is in our psyche and destiny is our belief, we are not cowards. We have been sleeping for too long. It is late enough. Better wake up Indian politicians. Do not put the nation to shame any more. Jaago Yaaro; Jaago Bharat.
