Yet another bomb blast in Delhi, capital of India.
5th city to suffer from serial blasts in last month or a half......
Reminds me of a dialogue on one of the recently released hindi movie. The gist of the dialogue is that it seems for our coming generations, bomb blasts will be a way of life. When I heard this dialogue, I didn't think much about it. But today when I think about it, it sends a chill down my spine.
Living in a 'normal democracy', where the bomb blasts are as regular as a country under a civil war, today for the first time I feel afraid to live in this country.
Till now, I always thought this is something which will pass. I was just beginning to understand this world when terrorism was its peak in my homestate Punjab. What I actually saw was the decline of terrorism. For me, It was like the break of a vicious circle. I thought, we have been able to curb it in one state so following it should not be an issue in other states.
But, how wrong I was. In those time states affected were, J & K, Assam & Punjab. Look at it today. Every other state has a security problem of its own. If there are foreign terrorists in J&K, then there are Naxalites in Andhra Pradesh.
If there is any state, which is not affected by such 'terrorists', then its own people are disturbing the peace of their state/city.
What are we coming to? Is there a solution to it?
I know a lot of people will say why do you only speak? why dont you do anything?
Well, this is where the ethical dilemma lies.
From the past personal experience, I have realized that the politics of this country is too dirty and too dangerous to be part of. One my close relatives, who is an active politician had a near death experience when he was attacked by goons of a member of the party he was opposing.
& as I don't want to be the part of the system, I have no moral right to condemn it.
However, I have a very simple question to ask.
WHAT CAN WE DO TO IMPROVE THE SITUATION?
& this time it is not incoherent babbling of a disturbed mind......
