As long as I have not lost a limb or life, it's ok. The callousness of the people of this nation in face of repeated attacks is mystery to me. Here's what usually happens
PM/President & authorities call it an act of cowardice, condemn it & appeal for calm. The rest of the country watches the "tamasha". People go home in the evening eat dinner & go to sleep. Wake up next morning & life goes on....
It's not the politicians, its the people that are the problem. This is the true legacy of Gandhi & Nehru. A nation of callous,meek & misguided people. Non violence is a sign of weakness in the real world. India must understand this. I rather die with my guns blazing than with my other cheek turned.

Gandhi knew the britishers were chritians , jesus spoke about turning other cheek when someone hits you.
so it worked to some degree but its the millions who got beaten , injured and killed, gandhi merely moved his ass from ashram to live in comfort in jail.
When it comes to present day anti-national when you offer other cheek they will ask, can I have your wife, mother, daughter for a night ?

Voilence begets voilence and doesn't solve the problems. We had so much violence in various parts of the world and no solution. This includes Afghanistan where even after wars there is still terrorism and more wars. Let's go back to Buddhist era where all ppl inclined to violence took up peace. I want complete peace.. But i think we should not misunderstand Ganhism to mean we are meek. My interpretation is if the other person is vilonet try your best to control it and take up violence only for self defence. But we do want to see the terrorists arrested and sent to gallows.
