Soft Nation
We are not only soft, we are corrupt over and above that. And there is corruption of mind as well.
We have politicos who won't waste a minute to figure out how to solve out political problems. They are quite abreast with changing political equations. They know when to forge an alliance, and when to forsake. The thing they know best is how to mint public money.
But when it comes to think about how to battle this terrorism problem, they would come a cropper. Yes, they would come out with a hollow, familiar, hand written speech - and that too by someone else - and render it in a most robotic manner, like what our nominal Prime Minister did yesterday.
They are good at post mortems. Almost. It was a work of Lashkar, and SIMI. It can be Al Qaida too. It looks like RDX, but it could also be Gelatin sticks. No it was RDX indeed. It was remote controlled. No it was a timer device.
They will announce compensation. To add insult to the injury, they will visit injured, and families of dead. They will preach social harmony. They will beat their chests out with a resolve to tackle terrorism.
But in the end, they would do nothing. Where are pre-mortems? Where are lessons learned? I can not think of any significant terrorist incident after 9/11 in USA. Neither can I think of anything in Bali, Spain and London after their first ones.
But every quarter or so we see an incident happening in India, and every two year in Mumbai!
We have to tackle the root problem, and increase the vigilance of public transports at least. Bangladesh is as much a threat, as Pakistan. They must be dealt severely.
We are paying the price of Indira Gandhi's folly in 1971 -freedom of Bangladesh. Now instead of one enemy, we have two. We should fix this nuisance, and very fast.
If Israel was to be a soft nation, it would have been finished. Killers need to be paid back with same coin. We must not take any militant as a prisoner. Just kill him/her. Any militant, and his/her aides who ever they are must be finished, otherwise, either they would be freed after an hostage drama(Kandhar), or they would be freed by court on the lack of evidence(Parliament attack).
Our hostage policy should be of no-negotiations, which is there in theory, but not in practical. Every attempt of rescuing should be made, like Russia did a few years ago. Not only one would save many victims, and kill militants, we will also save national pride. This will also demotivate militants from doing this again.
We have an example closer home - Punjab. Had KPS Gill been soft, Punjab wouldn't have been one of the richest and most prosperous state.
