How many blasts would it take, for the government of India to wake up to the reality? Blasts have become so common these days that people have literally stopped talking about them or rather started saying that this time the blast killed only 5 people as if it is okay if the count is in single digits. Have we given up on our government? Can the government really do anything in countries like India? Has the government taken any steps to curb the spread of terror? How many of our places are really safe? Why are we so such a soft target? Do we never learn from past mistakes? Why are we so lax and why do we have a "chalta hai" attitude for anything and everything.
Those days are gone when politicians used to own up to the responsibility and quit on moral grounds. These days the politicians feel no shame in their incompetency and proudly boast about not quitting. The politicians also come out to be very insensitive. Delhi's chief minister, while talking about a murder, instead of saying that she would take immediate action and punish the culprit, said that the lady-who was murdered-should not have gone out at 3 A.M. Politicians, police and intelligence keep pointing fingers at each other as more and more innocents are killed day after day. We keep forming committees for everything but the common man never comes to know about the results of all those committees.
Yes, it is difficult to govern a country as big as India with one billion population. It is physically impossible to keep an eye on everyone. Even if the government does keep an eye, it would immediately be criticized for invading the privacy. Government definitely has to take tough steps to ensure the safety of people. People would also have to give up some of their freedom to ensure a safe living for everyone. Lets hope for a safe and soaring India.
