The World under terror

This year I've been forced to think many times but never like this before. Whenever it use to happen my adrenaline use to rush, use always to question the one particular religion and its practices, use to always think as what make this religion or people practicing it to kill innocent people in the name of this religion, use to think the only way to save this world probably is to eradicate this religion all together. I always was a hardliner, always believing in tit for tat. But in the last 3 days what I've seen and what I've experienced I am now beginning to believe that the menace can't be handled the hard way. There are probably few people following this religion who are radical and who are ready to go to such an extreme to kill innocent people but then people with such mentality are there in every religion, what may be different here probably is a greater % of people believing in such ideas and actually go in such length to do that. But if we really want to win this war of terror, this war of hatred we need to adopt the soft way with a mix of hard way. We probably first need to go and find out about the root cause of this issue. What make people to go and do such extreme things and why? Probably we need to ask these questions to all of ourselves!

I know there are things done in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Kashmir which were not 100% right on our part. Lets accept it that we also did mistakes. But to now the question is how to correct these mistakes, how to soothe the anger of the people from each side who are now ready to take arms and fight their own battle? Do we want to go to extreme path to create more anger on both sides or do we want to take one step at a time and come to a middle ground where religion is people's choice inside their homes and not a license to kill, where people learn and co-exist happily, where people think of developing towards a more prosperous future and not towards hatred and revenge, where people ultimately love each other for their character and not for their class, creed or religion!!

The second most disturbing thing which is coming out of all this is the pathetic and most absurd behaviour from our representatives or so called leaders. I was beginning to think that probably this would be the defining moment in terms of how our politicians behave, that probably now we all will stand together and unite against all those who hate humanity, that probably now for once and all we will become one country and speak in one voice. But I was so bloody wrong when I heard height of sycophancy from Jayanti Natarajan (whose blood didn't boil a single time seeing the horror for more than 60 hrs on TV and seeing more than 200 people dead but whose blood immediately boiled when told a little negative about Sonia Gandhi), the most pathetic man to be called a leader R R Patil, DyCM of Maharashtra (who said that these small things keep happening in a big city like Mumbai) and one MNS thug (who sent SMS to one of the mediamen saying why Raj Thakery wants non-Mumbaikars to leave as it is so overcrowded that identifying normal people from terrorists has become difficult). This has probably made one thing very clear to me that our politicians will never change, they will keep looting us, they will keep making martyrs out of Army, Police and all of us but they themselves will never change, will never show a little shame, will always be singing "HUM NAHIN SUDHERENGE".

But then it bring us the question that how this state of our Indian democracy will improve. We, the people like me and you, always keep throwing dung to these politicians but we ourselves never thought of coming out of our little cocoons and start a movement to change all this system of unjustice, all this system of this sycophancy, all this system of politics where people like Raj Thakery and alike can claim to be representatives of us. I heard people saying "what can I just do", but I think each great movement started with just one "I". Lets unite in this moment of crisis and show all these politicians that we won't let these bloody, narrow minded and self benefitting politicians live in our political system anymore!

I invite all the people who are reading this blog to share their thoughts and bring our ideas and for godsake constructive ideas only so that we can move forward from here for a better and brighter future without any fear in our minds.
