Mumbai attack ... implications and measures

Attack on Mumbai ... perhaps for the first time the voices of "Spirit of Mumbai (Bombay)" are not much being heard as of now at the least! ... I haven't been able to understand if such kinds of spirits are a sign of resilience OR insensitivity?

May the almighty God give strength to all those who have lost their near and dear ones, their loss is irrecoverable. Heartiest tributes to the members of law enforcement agencies (Police, Army and NSG) who have made supreme sacrifice for the motherland and fought gallantly against the terrorists.

Implications:-

1. Political: UPA Govt. on defensive, Home Minister resigns, so does the NSA; BJP on the offensive.  What are leftist doing? Researching tirelessly and trying to solve the case for us (They seem to think that they are the ONLY intellectuals left in India … read on

2. Global: India named among 20 most dangerous places to be.

3. Technical: Terror: New age terrorism a reality.

4. Consciousness: Serious dangers to the diversity loving “Hindu” thought in Bharat.

Measures (Some of them):-

1. Politicizing and communalizing of terrorism is dangerous. Narendra Modi’s targeting the UPA Govt. on the field and when the operation was in progress, was immature, untimely and unwarranted. Consensus MUST emerge, as was hinted by L.K. Advani in his recent address at HT Leadership Summit. Why didn’t the PM and LOP go together at the cite ?

2. Improve the defense and strike capabilities of our armed forces, both in terms of weaponry and fitness. We as a nation just can’t loose our officers of the ranks of ATS chief, ACP, NSG Major, encounter-specialist. We have perhaps over emphasized non-violence a little too much. Stop all talks of non-violence exhibiting unmanliness.

3. Stop wasting time in the non-sense ideas of talking to Pakistan (read ISI) and explaining the evidence we have against them. Prepare and equip the armed forces for pin-pointed, precise and pre-emptive strikes in PoK and Pakistan (without inflicting any damage to the common Pakistani). Make the foriegn affairs and policies more effective, start building a world consensus against Pakistan aggressively. We must really be insane to believe that Pakistan will be facilitating us in nabbing the terrorists in its soil, they will of course take the evidence and use the information to wipe out all traces which could possibly lead to a fair investigation.

4. Start inculcating the great nationalistic values of Bharat, Bharatiya ethos and culture on a war footing. As a next step, a compulsory military training for self-defense and mental alertness at all the times.

5. Instead of running away from religion, society should start making efforts in bridging the gulf between different religions especially islam, christianity and hinduism. Understand each other better, celebrate festivals together and build consensus on issues of nationalism. No appeasement whatsoever towards any body based on faith, so no reservations on the basis of religion.
