Denudation of security

This morning I got a sms from Air tel. Which goes like this: 'Forgiving terrorists is left to God. But fixing their appointment with God is our responsibility' sent by Indian Army. Indian Army is the third largest standing army in the world. In spite of that it took 59 hours for the 200 commandos of NSG, Indian Navy, Indian Army & Mumbai Police to won the battle in Mumbai? Is it our commando's failure? Ain't they trained enough to fight with such terror attack? Indian Army has proved their competency in 1965, 1971 or in 1999 but despite that, India had to face may be the longest terror drama of the world. Why so? They got the whole lay out of the hotels,they had the required weapons(in fact the terrorists were showing their parsimony in the usage of bullet because they dint have enough stock of ammunition's),they had the man power...then what went so wrong that they had to take so many time? The problem is in the whole internal structure! Our commandoes had to wait for their orders...Mumbai attack is the failure of our bureaucracy not of the Army. They are inescapably bound to the orders of the bureaucracy. Indian Army is 'trained to die for the country & trained to save the civilians' but in emergency despite having all potentialities & possibilities they have to wait for the orders to come. Our respected politicians can never think beyond mere narrow party politics & this is the reason that terrorists have the guts to come down India for vacations almost in every other month. If this month is Delhi then the next month will be Bangalore or Assam or Jaipur. When will it end? A 9/11 was enough for USA...I hope 27/11 was enough for us too!

Well written.. Good arguements... I believe Political Terrorism is emerging as the biggest threat for India. If it is controlled, we can easily foil any such attacks like Mumbai in our country.

absolutely true....
our army has got all the potentiality n stamina, but our so-called respected politicians were too busy thinking about political do's and donts according to their own wish.
One thing which i would really want to add ..... it is really sad that our armed forces are remembered at the time of crisis n at other peaceful time they are not given their due respect by civilians....inspite they lay their lives at borders keeping us at safe distance from trouble...

u know wat is the main problem?......our main problem is we dont know to take responsiblities......something wrong abt the nation;its politicians flaws.....something wrong in house;everyone else is responsible;except ourselves......we get bad marks in exam;bcoz the question paper was tough or the guard was bad or the frnd was disturbing........every other person is responsible for our failure except ourselves.......in case of a problem first try to find where u r wrong.....u cant change others;but u can change urselves.......n if we all change ourselves we can change the nation......watever is happening around whether its good or bad we all r equally responsible.....if u want to change the nation;change the world first b brave enough to take the responsiblities to correct it.........if u think its the fault of our politicians then y dont u step forward to correct it????.......or u'll b waiting for another election to happen n another set of ppl to come to put the blame on?.........b brave enough to step forward.......i have already stepped......n walking my path........hope the rest of india will also do the same........

well thats really great a writing... seems an era of terrorism has ended.. but still unaware when it is going to erupt its lava....
hope our world understands the true meaning of PEACE & we all dwell tension-free, fear-free....
& last but not the least a salute to all the people who stood as a wall & fought the terrorists back & thanx to the media for giving us the true images of terrorism... (but not right to show it during the prime time as it is been seen by many a kids & can have a worse impression in their minds). thank you for bearing me.... ha ha ha....

i am stunned!!!!!!!........really;i am speechless......instead of praising indian army i can see many ppl r still busy in doing postmortem of commandos operation they did....i have a few small informations to provide to these guys abt a basic layout of a hotel like taj or oberoi n the practical scenario........

guys do u know in case of house keeping dept how many servicing of room one house keeper can perform within their 8-9hrs of duty hours?the average standard is 14.....in case of big n elaborated rooms the number is 10 n in case of very simple rooms the number is 18.......taj n oberoi each has 800+ rooms in their hotels.......n the commandos were facing grenades n bullets while searching for these terrorists;who were running around inside the hotel.......n more over they had proper idea abt the layout of the hotel.......so lemme tell u all one thing guys.......it was one of the fastest operation performed by our commandos n mumbai police......u should b proud of them;not start postmortem of their work.........

I will not defend what Pragya or Lt Col Purohit did but we have to find out why a highly decoratred officer does it. Having seen the soldiers in NE fighting terrorism with my own eyes I know what goes through their mind. After the parliament attach when a certain party does not want to hand a terrorist what can we expect from the armed forces. They are not robots to only follow orders. The govt does not seem to care abt their human rights and thats what made a serving officer do such a thing

as a 'not so bad' student of personality development n human psychology i have realised one good thing which i think i shud share with u all......u know y we ppl keep blaming govts for everything?.......coz our govt is run by a bunch of fat ass ppl who is busy with themselves n dont bother abt wat ppl r talking abt them........their only interaction with ppl comes during election......n as they r not so good (rather bad) itsa much more easy n safe to put the entire blame on these guys n go back to sleep again.........afterall they will not answer back......good going guys.....keep doing these......very soon we r going to b a country full of lazy fat ass guys n galz who dont have any responsiblities n sleeping day in n day out........good night india......good job

The tradition of betrayal runs deep in our blood stream.History has innumerable examples to offer.Right form the Treta age to the silicon era we have had our Bibhishans & Mirzafars reincarnating themselves.Instead of blaming the outsiders we need to destroy our house hold pests so that these cannot spread the epedemic of terrorism any further.
