India Tujhe Salaam

The Mumbai Mayhem for 59 hours had India at ransom.It served a very important purpose. While India was gaining accolades all around the world as the leader in recessive times, while the US economy and other world leaders were witnessing a meltdown, while there were worries on the foreheads of all business leaders, while the stock market had taken a 300% beating, it was then that the terrorist ttacks had to happen. It went on to show that despite the accolades we were still lacking in terms of the intelligence network to pre-empt such attacks, we were lacking in crisis infrastructure and we were lacking in political will to handle such a situation. While the famed Mumbai Police, the elite NSG and the Marine Commandos fought it out at all the three locations-the Taj, the Oberoi and the Nariman House- to salvage the pride of a resurgent India, the political bigwigs went into their hideouts. The recently “marathi manoos” theme major political players went into oblivion when the “Indian” NSG fought the terrorists notwithstanding that they were trying to salvage the pride of Maharashtra-Mumbai. The debate on Malegaon blasts and the cheap politicking thereafter also faded into the terror stricken nights. Sadly, the politicians have been badly exposed that they are misfits to lead a nation that the world claims would be the next gen superpower. It is therefore not surprising that the youth have turned a blind eye towards these khadi clad hypocrites who make opportunistic noises.
It is high time that we take the nation in our hands and not rely on the politicians to show us the way. Because if not all , most of the political establishment is indulging in personal wealth management, regional and divisive interests, red tapism, corruption and as far as I think these are not nation building measures. So I for one and as the President of the “Religion of youth” feel that it is high time we use our ballot to the effect that we have administrators of repute, with literacy levels to understand the future, and most importantly see that the literate youth and the middle class do not withdraw from the elections but vote for the well wishers of the country.
I salute, the Mumbai Police, the NSG and the Marine Commandos as well as the brave mumbaikars who rise above these petty politics to come together and salvage the pride of the nation that will be the world leader- India Tujhe Salaam.

Thank God we are India

The recent developments in Pakistan make me feel"Thank God We Are India". Musharraf has been termed an ally by the pro-democracy US led by Bush.But the so called Emergency nee martial law has cut to shreds the US ally's wolf in sheep's clothing attitude. The super intelligent US is now at a loss of words on how to react to this situation where their "famous and honest" ally in the War against Terrorism turns itself into a Rogue State which has the privilege of getting US funds, arms and goodwill.
We in India have been telling all and sundry about the misdeeds of Pakistan all the while but today we finally have the last laugh.Thank God we are not a farcical democracy.Our politicians may be the butt of ridicule but when it comes to democracy, the people of India are as free as any other country in the world, the judges and politicians are not put on house arrest if the deeds do not favour the ruler.
Bush, its time to open your eyes. Either you have been fooled then shed the garb of intelligence and get out of the Pak fiasco .Even if Elections are held in Pak now they will not be democratic as Mush is putting his people in place to whitewash his actions. And US would support it by saying that this whitewash is an act of democracy. Stop fooling around with people and look up to India to see what democracy is all about.
Mush, stop talking for the rights of Kashmir. First look into yourself and then talk about Kashmir. We know to take care of people. Thank God we are India.
