Saluting a hero
by Shridhar Iyer on Sep 09, 2007 10:02 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

What is the value of a human life in this highly populated country? So many soldiers like Harshan have died in J&K while fighting the terrorists & anti-nationals, sponsored by Pak and its ISI. If it is a declared war, then we can understand the inevitability of human loss, but why should we lose precious human lives to terrorists. Is it not the duty of the nation, to tackle terrorism and anti-national elements strongly, and ensure the safety of its citizens? Here I find the nation totally lacking. When it comes to taking bold decisions, it dithers and dillidallying, resulting in unwanted and avoidable loss of human lives. Whether it is pak sponsored terrorists, or local Maoists, Naxals, the Govt should deal with them strongly to ensure that they dont succeed in destryong public properties, and also do not harm innocent civilians in any way. No appeasement, no vote bank policies, no party considerations, no coalition considerations should come in the way in such matters. Only national security, and the interest of its citizens should be taken into account. I wonder whehter, and when GOI will behave in this manner.

Hope for the best,

V.Srinivasan.

For this we need leaders like Mahatma Ghandi, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Kabir, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Ambedkar etc who reach to people and educate. I remember A TV serial in 80s which was based on Dr Ambedkar, in which he used to teach dalit by reaching in them, mixing in them. He used tell them to be clean, be hard workerm be honest etc. Maulana Abul Kalam Azad worked at ground level for muslims. But after Independence we though we got every thing and we don't need such kind of good work. Then our own people who fougth for freedom became politician instead of social worker so we had to see days like these. But still there are millions of people who really care about India and aware of responsibilites and rights of common man. These people should come forward and interact with masses then writing blogs online becaue our masses does not read these blogs. Every good cause demands sacrifice, or say no pain no gain. This sacrifice is just a small time from busy schedule, we can spend 15 days or one month in villages or among needy people to teach/help them. Motivate them to keep their moral strong. I saw in Narmada Bachao Andolan, their may young guys from elite families who sacrificed their
