For sometime now, I have been thinking to write something for my blog. So many things have happened in the last few weeks in my life and many things I want to say; just do not know where to start.
Well, let us start with my work related issues. My first research service (RS) is almost complete. It will be sent to publishing by the end of this month end. It is about the medical power supplies market. You can access it here. Though it took almost three months for this RS to complete, I feel confident about the RS. That said, I would be starting on my next RS from next week I believe. I plan to complete it way before the deadline this time.
For a long time, I felt that India was a safer place to live in than any other country. However, the Mumbai Blasts proved that feeling I had wrong. It was a cowardly attack. These terrorists do not even have the courage or guts to face our army or our police force. Hence, they turn on the innocent victims, the people of this country. The Mumbai blast though was shock to all of us, we all forgot the Bangalore incident and not to mention the infamous attack on our Parliament on December 2001. Thousands of people have been killed or displaced due to terrorist attack that has been going on for ages. The attack on our Parliament was one of the worst. This reminds us of how weak we are in defending the highest office in our country. If this was Pakistan or the U.S. or the U.K. they would had declared war on those countries/terrorists organizations and bombed their s*&@ out of this planet. India has been one of the countries facing terrorism for ages, even before the U.S. declared its war on terror after 9/11.
Why isn’t India doing anything? – A constant question that I am sure many of us keep thinking about. It is not about non-first strike agreement that we have. It has to do with economic conditions. If war is to be declared, you need to be a good position to support your country financial conditions and help the military achieve its victory by providing proper funds. I feel that India is a good position right now. They need to kick a@#! They need to do what Israel is doing to Hezbollah. First, find out where these terrorists camps and training grounds are, do a press release about these camps, and issue an ultimatum to Pakistan and the terrorists organizations to remove those camps and training grounds. If they do not comply, warn the innocent people to get out of there and then start bombing those camps. If required send in the troops to clean out or dismantle these camps permanently. Once the work is done, they can pull back. Then start a dialogue with the remaining political parties in Kashmir and find a solution to the Kashmir problem. Even though innocent people will be caught in the cross fire, but by the time it ends both people of India, Pakistan and people living in Kashmir will live for peace finally.
Just to jog your memory about terrorist’s activities in India (note that terrorists such as naxalities, bandits have not been included in this list since India does not consider them as “Terrorists”)
Terrorist’s incidents occurred since 2001 (source: Wikipedia.org):
- Oct 1, 2001 - Militants attack Jammu-Kashmir assembly complex, killing about 35.
- Dec 13, 2001 - Attack on the parliament complex in New Delhi.
- September 2002 - Militants attack the Akshardham temple in Gujarat, killing 31.
- May 14, 2003 - Militants attack an army camp near Jammu, killing more than 30, including women and children.
- Aug 25, 2003 - Simultaneous car bombs kill about 60 in the Mumbai.
- Aug 15, 2004 - Bomb explodes in Assam, killing 16 people, mostly school children.
- Oct 29, 2005 - Sixty-six people in New Delhi.
- December 28, 2005 – Attack on IISC Bangalore, 1 killed and 4 injured.
- Mar 7, 2006 - At least 21 people killed in three synchronized attacks in Varanasi.
- Jul 11, 2006 - At least 183 people killed in a series of 8 train bombing during the evening rush hour near Bombay.
South India has been relatively free from the clutches of terrorists attack. But if the Banglore incident is any sign of terror spreading towards south, then I feel the days are not far off where we even afraid to go outside our homes.
