WE THE PEOPLE MUST ACT

Brother, Sisters and INDIANS,
26/11 has been a very huge tragedy, and let it not deter us. We will fight, we will elect better leaders, and we will work hard. What happened on 26/11 was a reminder (quite a devastating one for that matter) of how vulnerable our political and security system is. Today, changing it is in the hands of people we have elected, but who seem to have failed miserably. What we don't think about though is what WE as people can do to improve the situation. Today it is common for any Indian individual to pay a subsisted amount of money (bribe) to an officer in order to go Scott free, when one has committed a traffic crime. What many don't understand here is that we are beginning corruption, although in a very very small case, which builds up to things like cases where government officers take bribes from terrorists, in order to allow the passage of explosives and ammunition to India. No one imagines to what proportions corruption started at an early age reaches, and when it does, it results in devastating events. What one can learn from this, is to prevent corruption, one must attack it at its roots, and by attacking at its roots i mean WE THE PEOPLE, ACT. We could always pay a fine in full, or else should not commit the traffic crime in itself.

With such easily bribable law enforcers, wouldn't it be easy for terrorists to easily smuggle explosives and ammunition into the country and cause terror? So what i say is that do this much little and save your country! Anyone of us, i know, wouldn't want a terror attack on us again would we?

We must be vigilant, but we must never be suspicious because all of us are Indians, and if we create discord among ourselves we WILL be terrorized, attacked, and exploited. Of course if you do find something really suspicious do report it immediately to a law enforcement agency.

USA learnt a lesson after 9/11. Are we going to?
In the last few months India has been attacked by terrorists. Cowards as they are, they are intelligent. They know and pin point to loop holes and attack it. We must never under-estimate them, and we must counter them in an equally strong way.
We must go to the root mentality of Terrorists and counter it at that.

What i conclude with is that do your bit in this, its not that ' Just leave it to the government' and when the government fails criticize them. I'm not saying dont criticize them, after all that's what a democracy is all about. Criticize them, but do so after you have done all bits and pieces you can do at your level.
