India United

Sep 14 2008
I got a call from a friend of mine to check if I ve survived yet another series of blasts. I followed the suit and called up all near and dear ones to check if they were fine. That is the only action that comes to our mind when somethin like this happens in our country. Buddin TV news channels and reporters try to get the best shot by showing the smudges of blood on roads, ripped dustbins and askin terrified people silly questions. This is the only thing we are concerned with, condemning everythin but waitin for someone else to take a step for us(This includes me as well).

This post has been in pipeline for past 3 months and in the mean time we have been rocked by gruesome acts like Mumbai attacks and several blasts around the country(But we are used to these small incidents now). News channels swung into action as soon as they struck, clickin pictures or injured people, interviewing commandos or rescued hostages. They even went ahead and showed the live footage of rescue operations endangering the lives or both the hostages and the commandos executing the operation.

Some of our prestigious leaders made this a communal issue and tried to cash in votes. Congress and UPA leaders termed Mr. Hemant Karkare are martyr and propagated his death as supreme sacrifice in the line of duty just because he was involved in a hindu bashin case prior to his death. They even went aboard and speculated his death as handiwork or Hindu extremists tryin to save their sorry face in Malegaon blasts. These are the same pseudo secularists who doubted the sacrifice of Inspector M.L Sharma when he was gunned down by terrorists in Jamia and even claimed that he was killed by police only and not by those innocent students of Jamia who were wrongly framed.

These acts of vote bank politics create a friction between two sections of society in a time when they both should hold together. Shahrukh Khan said in an interview that there are two versions of Islam, one which was originally created generations back as a sapling of islam and the other one created and used by Mullah's for their own selfish purposes. This might be his only statement that I completely agree with. The need of the hour is to stand United rather than fight amonst ourselves and die. We have tried solvin this issue by may ways like demolishin babri, killin kar sevaks, bombin temples etc etc I think standin united is the only option left. This is the only way India can triumph.
