Are we Indians for or in against of terrorism??

This question crossed me today, or had been troubling me a lot for couple of days.

I was so happy that finally verdict has been given by Supreme Court of India, that Afzal responsible for carrying out terrorist attack near premises of Our Parliament, has been given a death sentence.
I was happy that finally law and order was capable of bringing culprit to justice.

It didn't took much long and political parties already stole my happiness regarding this.

I feel that India is really not against terrorism. How come political parties and govt. of India waste so much time on discussing whether Afzal needs to be punished or not. I wonder why is this happening. India is not yet developed country, there are so much responsible tasks to be finished first, but still those tasks never come in focus of the ruling party. It feels like that they had nothing better work to do and just need to bring up some silly issue for talk at coffee time.

Attack on the Parliament is a direct attack on the country. If the Afzal is given forgiveness, it will reflect that all the terrorist attacks that had happened on Indian soil can also get away.
No country in the world will forgive anyone for attack on their Parliament. Why aren't the people of India also united against Afzal being granted forgiveness??

I wish that if that attack on Parliament would have had seen some casualities in the political parties, then these parties would have had realised how dreadful attack it was. The brave heros who sacrificed their lives to defend and keep their ministers safe, did all this for waste.

How can one even think of forgiving Afzal? I really don't see a point.

All these people who are trying to get Afzal are really in the favour of terrorism in India. It doesn't matters to them what is the terrorist act like, where it was carried and who were all in danger. They just don't have enough brains to think deeper.

Attack on Parliament could have had led country into real political trouble, with all the ministers being killed in the attack. That was the motive of carrying out the terrorist attack, and if the govt. of India can't see this. I believe they are nothing more, than just a group of morons.

Forgiving a person responsible for carring out terrorist attack in the heart of the country and right under the nose of the govt. of India, would reflect that we are not united against terrorism in India. It would be a shame for us, and atleast I will feel really embarrased that we Indians haven't had enough guts and courage to stand up against terrorism. All the peace talks and war against terror talks made my govt. of India are nothing, they should mean nothing to the people of India also.

We would be kept on being attacked again and again, and I guess in these situations Gandhigiri is just a foolish thought. You don't need to be non-violent for this long that entire population of India vanishes. Its good that one starts with non-violence and peace loving ways of tackling the problem, but if that hasn't had helped at all its better to fight it with force. Or else are we Indians just impotent and eunuchs??

I wish and hope that Afzal is hanged till death. I would have had preferred hanging him right infront of the Parliament.

2nd October is Lal Bahadur Shastri Birthday and negligence of it

Continuing with my previous post Ironical 2nd October 2006, I started to think more deeply into the fact.

And to my mind very annoying and disgusting thoughts about govt. of India, mostly Congress. As Congress has ruled us for more than 50 years now.

Today is Lal Bahadur Shastri's Birthday on 2nd October. He was the PM of India. Revolutionised the indian Agriculture sector. Gave Jai Jawan, Jai Kissan.

Why there is no single talk about him on this day in media? Why no national daily has publication about him? Not a single advt space containing his photograph and details, so that people can remember him. Just because he was never so much into Congress.

For Nehru, we have Children's day. Is there something similar for our President Abdul Kalam?? Will there be one. I doubt. He is greatest president India has ever had. But since he wasn't the chosen one from Congress, they had there own candidate against him. Kalam won't find a similar mention in the books, media and recognition.

Now take for example, Mr. Rajiv Gandhi. On his birthday and death anniversary there would be lots n lots of publications in newspapers, on TV. He was good, but can't be greater than Shastri.

Take another Gandhi from the family, Mr. Sanjay Gandhi. He is never talked about in media. No publications on him. No one tries to appreciate his deeds. He brought planned cities into the country. Noida is a work from him. Just because he was not at all Congress man.

Take Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He has endlessly given so much to the country. He revolutionised the entire indian Telecom sector. Gave quadralateral highways. Brought IT and business into main streamline of govt. Gave india Nuclear power status. What we see today is mostly what Vajpayee govt did. He showed that what all can be achieved by just putting acts together.
And we know there won't be no single promotion about his work. I guess now I don't need to mention the reasons.

The point is that, why only Congress family leaders get recognition. Get space in newspapers. Time on TV media. Congress ruled and kept everyone in the dark from starting, and has never tried and attempted to bring true historical facts infront.

There are many reasons, why people like me are not aware of the history other than Congress history. Not because I haven't attempted to learn history. Well I never attempted to learn history, but then Congress based history filled my childhood history books so much, that I only know of is theirs. And even now, when I forget something, I'm again reminded of the same history by media. Still there is no attempt to bring story and history of other gems of India.

I really wonder how Indian citizens could have been fooled for so long by just Gandhi family. Ofcourse Mahatma Gandhi doesn't belongs to this family. He would have never thought that something like this would be done by Congress. Congress used the name of Gandhi to capture votebank. As one scene in Lage Raho Munnabhai says that children of Mahatma Gandhi are Indira Gandhi and so on. That is mostly what goes to the very unaware society of india.

I believe its time now to wake up, and start getting our own facts clear. And try to impart the complete and true information to others. Else Congress will keep playing the same old game of theirs "To be in power, its best to keep society illiterate and unaware". Feels like that we indians have given ruling authority to just one family. We had already started to see that one day Rahul Gandhi will become PM.

Ironical 2nd October, 2006

India is celebrating 'Gandhigiri'. Word coined from latest bollywood Lage Raho Munnabhai. All over the media, tv channels and even on everybody's tongue is the word gandhigiri.

Wishing Happy Gandhigiri on the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi.
Mahatma Gandhi as all know was a peace and non-violence loving legend. He talked about using truth, non-violence as weapons to attain freedom, and to attain success.

On the other side, today is also the festival of Dussehra. The legend underlying the celebration, as also its mode of conduct, vary vastly by region; however, all festivities celebrate the victory of the forces of Good over Evil. It is also considered to be an auspicious day to begin new things in life.

Even in ancient times, as in Ramayana and Mahabharata, the ultimate win of good over evil was achieved by weapons. Weapons which were certainly not non-violence.

Isnt' it ironical that two extreme philosophies are celebrated today? What a coincidence!! This won't happen again in near future.

Maybe there is more philosophical context that God wants to send to us on this day.

That although we praise Gandhi for his non-violence movement. It should also be kept in mind that ultimate win of good over evil is achieved by force and weapons.

If Lord Rama and Lord Krishna weren't wise enough to use non-violence in those days. Certainly Bapu can't be wiser than them, and free India by using just non-violence.
We should give due to other freedom fighters also who have sacrificed their lives for freedom of India. No one celebrates and remember the b'day of Bhagat Singh, Bose and others. Why?? Why doesn't the govt. observes a single day devoted to these freedom fighters as national holiday. If govt. can't put national holidays for all these freedom fighters; atleast one day from history can be chosen for a national holiday dedicated to freedom fighters who used weapons and force to throw Brits out of the country. It can be anyday, day of jallianwalah bagh incident, day of first struggle of freedom fight and so on.

Gandhigiri is fine, but it shouldn't be over hyped. It has been already hyped so much by Congress party. Which used it to capture vote bank; and never truly understood the Gandhian concept.

Wishing you all a very Happy Dusshera (Happy Warriors Day); and Happy Gandhigiri.

Hope we are able to go into more deeper side of the irony of the day; and give due respect and regard for both gandhians and warriors.
