A friend of mine from Pune, lets call her AP, wrote (she actually wrote it) me a mail in response to the famous "Letter to a Terrorist" mail that I had fwd. She pointed out a lot of things. One was the pathetic way in which we treat our own people. Be it the Nagas, the tribals or the dalits. The other thing she mentioned was the apathy of our Govt. to the real security problems in India.
At that point I shrugged it off, possibly due to the wave of nationalism that surges through you after such tragedies. But going through the papers today, I've realized that AP is spot on! When cops with the ATS were investigating a terrorist link, and it lead to a leading MLA from the Maharashtra govt., they were transferred to Hyderabad. Woah, talk about priorities here. The vigilance on the SIMI has been relaxed off late because there are assembly elections in UP. What is our govt. up to?
Do we really need the Pakis to come & blow up our trains when we have such kind of leaders? These jokers are capable of screwing this country on their own. All the Pakis need do is sit back and watch these people fall over themselves to build vote banks and fight over the next panchayat or munciple elections. We dont have any strategic planning. We dont have any crises planning. In fact, I dont think we have any planning at all. We lurch from one disaster to another. And if somehow, we manage to avoid complete humiliation (read Kargil) its because of the brave men & women, common people mind you, who put their lives on the line for India. For all of us, the stupid, silent, cynical and eventually ungrateful masses. What a waste.
