The plight of a common man
Scene 1
There is a bomb blast in Pune. We are sipping tea next morning, watching the TV, blaming the Government for security lapses, blaming the terrorists for such attacks, getting sad for the people who lost their lives and families who lost their own.
But the point remains, aren't we as an alert citizen of the country can contribute to avoid such terror attacks. Is it only the Government or terrorists to be blamed, not us.
I remember some media people blurbing over the TV, that such attacks are planned not overnight, but over a period of time. Then is it only the responsibility of the Government to keep a track on such suspected activities and suspects.
Isn't it our own duty to at least know about our neighbours, be familiar with them. These terrorists live in our own vicinity with us, plan the attacks implement it and evade. We don't even sense their existence, because we hardly care.
If every one is at least knowing their next door neighbours, will not it at least create a panic and fear of plan leakage among these terrorists. It certainly will. But the point remains who care, let just sip tea, discuss and forget till the next time someone of our own is a victim of it.
I urge the citizen of India to wake up and contribute as an individual. This certainly will bring out a lot of difference.
you are absolutely right Kunal..i totally agree with you... we should be aware n more alert and also willing to take risks.. other thing is you have raised a very valid point bt left it undiscussed...so lemme comment about that...these media people will come and cry/shout or watever they are best at...will do...government dont do this n that...these people get time to even run in peoples bedrooms and get stories why cant they find anything in this area...any suspects of terrorist activities... or any programs which wil make common people more strong and alert.. that way terrorists will have to worry abt police and media and common people all...that way atleast they will have to think 1000 times before they start to plan anything..and they ll have fear of getting busted well before the actual plan.... wat do you think?
ReplyDeleteVery true and stron opinion Kunal. I really appreciate you brought this topic because even I feel the same way.
ReplyDeleteWe need to have the feeling rooted of being a good citizen and taking care of the country. It rings true to my ears when you say that it just not Govt's responsibility also it is impossible with our populated states. American citizen's have a concept of volunteering and it will be surprising to know that when we see America is so beautiful and a perfect country.It is because of their citizen's.The American's care about the roads,water,electricity,food and other things.I wish we also have a strong committment towards our country "India" .
yes u r right kunal, but the point is has police ever identified that a perticular person(who is nt from terorist grp) has identified that there is a bomb at that place and nt informed the police. I dnt think this has ever happened. and being aler will not help much coz the terrorists are trained to defy the police and hence can easily defy the ppl. So on a broader level its a responsibility of Gov and inteligence agencies to avoid such attacks...
