India should never let the guard down, when it comes to security.Britain escaped another possible mayhem because of the close watch mounted by its M15 over a period of many months.If the terror plot has been foiled by Britain, there is a lesson in it for us.We are a nation of people who tend to slip into a state of indifference after every terrorist strike. There is a big media hype, countless discussions, front page news,prime time coverage and then... How else can we explain the fact that our vast coastline is left unguarded as proved by CNN-IBNs Operation Rat Hole along the Maharashtra coast where the 'D'gang smuggled in explosives in the run up to the serial blasts in Mumbai in 1993.No other country would ever take things easy especially after such a slip up that cost us so dearly in terms of life and property. It's no good crying over spilt milk.India needs a strategy of very aggressive defence. We need to be proactive , not reactive.
