Being a 21-st century Indian, you have to be accustomed to terror attacks and bomb blasts. The nation seems almost indifferent to the terrorists antics.
9/11 was a landmark day in the history of terrorism..........Osama Bin Laden become the world's most hated figure since Hitler and the 'War on Terrorism' was unleashed.
Dubya launched attacks into Afghanistan and Iraq. Madrid, London and Mumbai became terror targets. But after almost eight years Bin Laden still remains at large.
Last week the Indian capital of Delhi was shaken by 5 bomb blasts. All were planted by a group of fanatics who call themselves the 'Indian Mujahideen'. Yeah........better luck with the name next time.
Although a lot of furore has been created nowadays about the attitude of the Government I seriously don't think they are gonna do anything........
A few months ago, a mind-baffling 21 bombs were defused in Surat (an Indian town) . Some were found in garbage bins, some in parks and some even on trees.. !!
But the most shocking scenario was the public reaction. Instead of launching a wake-up drive against the government, people had forgotten the incident within a week !
Compare that to 9/11. People in The US still fear of such an attack and are anti-terrorist in every way. Although the gravity of the siyuations cannot be compared, the frequency of terror activities in India has increased phenomenally.
9/11 was a standout incident that will remain in every one's mind as the day when terrorism took over. But the way things are unfolding in India, it dosen't seem hard to imagine such a situation arising here in the near future.
India being a neighbour to the terror-hotbed Pakistan, is at highest risk of attack right now.
Also, the large number of Muslims residing in the country makes it easy for the terrorists to get away with their heinous acts.
However, so far the attacks of the terrorists have been largely effectless. Although a state of panic does exist for a few areas after an attack, the matter is put to bed in a few days time.
I myself can't remember the exact date when Mumbai's trains were ripped apart by bombs. Being a resident of the city, this is very shameful. Since 9/11 Europe and The US have been on high alert. And there hasn't been a single attack since 9/11 in the US.
The question is, how many more bombs will be needed to wake the Indians up ?
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind. And the wind seems to be blowing very fast around here.
India will need to wake up and fight.
Until then, I think I'll take a nap.
PS : Message to the Terrorists.
Hey guys, please stop bombing us. No matter what you do, we don't seem to be affected. Our own personal problems are too many for us to look into trivial matters such as terrorism. Please do not waste your ammo. Play Halo or Counter-Strike if you want to blow things up. Gears Of War is also a good suggestion.
Adios.
