I don't know why the author conveniently ignores the Parliament attack and the response we gave. In that attack, the security gurads stood their line and gave their life to save the elected leaders. None of the leader took a scratch, but yet, they immediately deployed army to the border and threatened Pakistan with an all out war.
Time and again, when the common citizen is hit and the human tragedy is far worse by any standard these politicians know, they did nothing. Forget the common citizen, the families of the same soldiers who were sent to the borders were killed in mass and the leadership gave a muted response. Look at America, Israel. Israel started the current war on a single incident of attack against their soldier. While I am proud to be an Indian, I feel ashamed at the leadership whether it is BJP or Congress.
Before we point our fingers at Pakistan or the terrorists they support for not having any value for human lives, we should ask out leaders "Why our lives are not as worthy as the elected politicians, who come begging for the votes during election?"
