National Tragedy

It is a national tragedy to see how an incident like the Mumbai terror has altered the psyche of a society not so long ago charged up with dreams of being an economic powerhouse to a “fragile nerve” people, looking over their shoulders to see if their current life is secured. There is a visible deep sense of sadness that one can almost touch across the spectrum. Recession loomimg large now seem even larger .We forgot that while the aspirations of the Indian people fuelled by individual success stories plastered all across by the media has been a catalyst but we remain an island surrounded by hostile nations as Pakistan, China, Bangaldesh. Also the inept leadership, thoroughly corrupt and near versioned to itself has no idea on how to harness this huge energy release that can propel India to be a true superpower. Instead we see them in cahoots with the criminal elements who in turn are experiencing a thrust to play a larger role by the organized terror groups globally. Outfits well financed, technologically advanced and with highly motivated ranks seek to run a pseudo governments by themselves across the borders. So, then who do we turn to ? Since the weak kneed response to the hijacking of the Indian Airline flight almost 10 years ago, we have been accepted as a society of mild, if not cowardly people, self centered, corrupt, clinging desperately to the garb of peace loving people while being hostile within ourselves drawing blood in the name of religion, castes , sex and class. In turn our leadership has spared no efforts to divide us too on the same basis of religion, region, caste. As we look back we see only a skeleton of what we were or what we could have become. Is it then surprising that Naxalism has taken roots across the country in more than 58 districts (most are a group of oppressed people) trying to gain their own identity in their current lifetime.
Indian youth today have become common fodder to devious groups of disruptive elements. We call ourselves the youngest nation on earth. if only we had the process and integrity to deal with the youth and enable them reach their full potential. Our leaders are untrained to look beyond their personal tomorrow and the party’s 5 years of survival. A country where majority of productive time of the government is spent on elections of some kind, a mad rush to plunder as much before their political term is over and the rest positioning themselves as saviors to some group, community , region or religion, then are we not poised for disaster? a social upheaval? and so, are we not and will continue to be a soft target for foreign terrorists and internal terror groups ? When have we as Indians stood up and said, “NOT ACCEPTABLE”. Probably now for the first time. Their again a great victory to the wide coverage from the media.
Should I not be responsible to my society and be a rightful owner of a healthy secure and prosperous life? Is being a citizen of a terrorized society deprives me of my right to leave behind a legacy of value for my children and family ?
We see today visible spasms of anger within the society, as the world watched as 10 men held the countries financial capital to ransom for 60 hours (we were lucky this time as none of the rdx bombs blew) and a country of over 1.0 billion people.
Surely we can as individuals and groups of intelligent thinking people can “smart”, use the technology and reach out to more like minded angry, intelligent and patriotic Indians to create a powerhouse out of the 1 billion people that we today call, “India”.
An Idea of no tolerance to corruption, religion bias ,geographical bias , coupled with hard work, smart branding, creating a structure, where the human mind and technology integrates to form a powerful think tank…”Power India”.
A society that is fearless, responsible, has the depth to lead the world and a way of Indianess that fosters rich culture, a constant search and research for efficiency and a nurturer of human values, a birthplace for future leadership.
