Shock and awe that was feeling I felt during the terror attack in Mumbai. The sheer audacity with which these terrorist operated was hard to believe. Mumbai a city of dream for those three days was a horror story. The sense of anger and frustration about the political apathy is running across the entire country. Why do we have such poor security apparatus? Why are we using guns which are fit to be displayed in the museum? What is the IB and RAW doing? . It's very easy to put the blame on the "foreign hand" and divert the issue. People need answers.
All said and done, we the middle class of this country also share the blame. For decades we have ignored the political system and taken democracy for granted. It is all great to bash up the politician and lay the blame entirely upon them. Tell me how many of us vote, hardly 50%.Some people ask why I should vote, one vote doesn't matter, I just think it's a waste of time. In democracy each vote matters .We are the educated masses, which are in a better position to find out what is good or bad. We need to get over the cynicism towards our politicians .There may be some bad apples but not all them are bad. We cannot let our democracy fail us. We are the custodians of our democracy and we need it to work for us.
Finally I salute the martyrs who gave up their lives for this country. I salute the brave police officers and NSG for their bravery and perseverance to get the Job done. I hope young people in the country are inspired to join the army and police force.
