Mr Pranab Mukerjee's speech is full of platitudes and published statements made by leaders of yore.There is no indication India's resolve to meet the challenge If there indeed be such a determination it is absent in the speech.For instances we cannot conclude that the perpetrators of the outrages would meet with just punishment. What is one to conclude from such an anemic speech, save mean good to everyone except the victims of these outrages.The Indian State instead prefers to wait indefinitely for a change of heart; expecting the terrorist to be stricken by a bad concience The Indian state would rather forget the pain inflicted by the terrorist/ militant/extremist/armed freedom fighters by rehabilitating them into our society and extend the hand of peace; never mind making it easy for them to lapse into their old ways at their own choosing. The insurgency which began in Nagaland, has spread to the other NE states over time.We now have Left Maoist terror in the newly formed states and we would soon see signs of Linguistic terror in the southern states. The Govt tells us that terror in India is a way of life, and we'ed better accept it.
