Blastful Thoughts!!
Bangalore and Ahmedabad blasts should not be remembered for Islamic fundamentalism or ISI sponsored militancy. It should rather be an eye-opener for the well entrenched local network of militants responsible for carrying out these blasts and also for the accomplice being a well educated person. Does this ring bells in anybody’s ears? If not please sit up and listen, before its too late.
Capturing the terrorist is not the solution, no doubt it should surely be done and the people responsible should be shown the gallows. But the point is: Why so many people are taking the ill-trodden path? We have to ponder over this so that the future looks much better and brighter.
So I just thought of jotting few things to be done, to pacify my agitated mind.
Firstly and most important is the education for all, cutting across all castes and religions. Unless and until a good and strong educational environment is not available, our country will never prosper.
Secondly, it should be supported by a proper structure to provide jobs for all. Easier said than done I know, but opportunities are immense, there is always room for innovation. Innovate and ideate, we have plethora of intellectual brains, bureaucrats and politicians who have so many creative ideas for the same. Please listen..
These two things, nobody can disagree, will make India a much safer and better place. However there are other things too and none less important.
Developing a sense of nationalism in the hearts of people cutting across the whole spectrum of society is a major challenge. Its not argument of nationalism versus globalization, but nationalism versus terrorism. The pride and love for the motherland can only be developed if our mainstream political parties stop playing the religion and caste card for political gains. Blanket ban on religion based politics by our vigilant election commission, if possible, can be a very good solution.
India is a secular country, just don’t say it, also implement it, and this cannot be done by our government alone. It is the duty of all good Samaritans to implement this in their daily life. Our nation cannot be secular unless we show this in our actions and words to our brethrens.
Strict action against one and all who try to incite communal hatred and violence will go a long way in making a better future.
All the people involved in carrying out these gruesome blasts are not hard-core terrorists. There will be many who are feeling neglected in their own country, outcasted for no fault of their, sometimes ill-treated because of events happening anywhere in the country eg. Gujrat. It is these people that militants incite and strike at the root of their confidence in their motherland and break easily. A heavy hand is definitely necessary sometimes to make things better, but also listening to the pleas and complaints of these people will go a long way in improving the secular image of our beloved nation.
Our enemy is not the one sitting outside, it the one sitting within, which is willing to change given we have an audience to sit up and listen.
