4100 Terror Attacks in 34 years. India scared and scarred


 

Welcome to India, the land of the Indus, the land of snake charmers , the land of urbanization and now the harvesting land for the marauders of death. The stats put out in the header are something special of India. These attacks have claimed over 12k lives officially and around 70k unofficially. This puts us next to only Iraq and Afghanistan in terms of no of casualties due to terrorism and barbarism.

    This is thanks to some very efficient (sic) administration and governance. The recent Mumbai attacks bear testimony to this. The cue about this attack was made available way back in feb but our very innocent police officers couldn't decipher the cues in time. Our political top brass is busy meddling with internal matters and solving the ultra complex caste equations. The administration is completely disconnected from reality and follows a plan laid out way back in the 1940's. Our security forces carry arms that are no different from the one's used during the world war II's and probably older than that.

    Ultimately the whole blame falls on our inefficient political fraternity. But we need to introspect on what we as public have contributed to the government in these 6 decades. The only responsibility which we have fulfilled is the vote our representatives. What about our responsibilities of guiding our governments, allowing our security forces to function in an efficient and transparent manner? These are some of the things on which we fall short. We need to step up to the plate and act as responsible citizens.

    No doubt Pakistan is a breeding ground for terrorism and we are definitely their targets. Taking these into considerations its imperative on part of US the citizens of India to follow the rules laid out by our law enforcing agencies and help , guide our institutions in this war against TERROR. Lets take a pledge today for the good of our country.

We the people of India solemnly pledge to make no fuss

When security personnel frisk us

At malls,railway staions and other locations

We pledge not to bribe anyone when and

Honestly pay the fine

We pledge to Inform the police

About any lapse in security measures

We pledge no to damage any security infrastructures(CCTVs,Barricades)

We pledge not to create create tensions on the basis of cast,creed and religion


 

We pledge to help our country in any possible way in this fight against TERROR
