Game terrorists … Match Politicians …
And that’s how I would put today’s socio-political scenario of the country … and I am not just referring to the recent blasts in Delhi (and Ahmedabad, Bangalore, erstwhile many other places across the country) by IM … but also what has been done by some Hindu fanatics (Bajarang Dal, etc) in Orissa, Karnataka and many other parts of the country (to Christian community). I would call the latter also an act of terrorism …
And how are politicians winning … by simply blaming each other for doing / not doing xyz thing which has some probability of bringing change … good, bad or ugly is not their retrospective … for instance … take POTA! … BJP is asking for POTA’s implementation again … but by the standards of POTA – when Bajrang Dal would also be treated on the same lines then officials responsible for enforcing POTA would be charged for targeting innocents!!! – Well that’s just an example of how politicians will go back on their words on a blink of an eye!
Why I don’t see politicians flowing the help (esp monetory) from their own pocket (and not from State or Central Gov’s fund) into the Bihar / Orissa floods??? (They all had already emptied the gov’s fund a month ago on Olympic medal winner anyways!) Why there was no action on Nepal’s failure on acting on their fault of lack of maintenance of barrage – which led to massive floods in Bihar creating devastation across the state! Not only people, but the land (soil) erosion with crops being damaged – resulting in scarcity of food … in fact till date their hasn’t been adequate help provided to thousands of people with basic necessities like meds and food supplies …
I firmly believe, that if politician don’t interfere in the national security processes (including state’s) … terrorism will not find it’s feet to survive for long … it’s not that our security processes have lapse… it’s our politicians who create loop holes for themselves and provide opportunity for the terrorists groups (mostly funded and supported by few of such politicians) to use (rather misuse and abuse) those exceptions!
End of the day … it’s the politicians who has the cake and he eats it too!

State before Nation...
Following notes are my personal opinion based on the media excerpts (TV News and Newspapers) and therefore are biased.
Last few months we have seen two major instances which rocked the country for it being a Nation! And these two are Singur and Marathi in Mumbai …
I think former one could have been dealt little better way … assuming that out of 1000 acres allotted for the auto giant by the gov, about 300~400 acres were not really agreed upon! That’s about 40% (on the max front) … this could have been settled by talks with those who had issues with it (but why in the first place they agree on!) whatever the case may be – in case Tata backs off from the project (which is very likely), the 400 acres of land, which is at stake, can’t be now used for agriculture anyways … further, what happens to the people who had the rest 600 acres – where would they go now … an auto plant likes of Tata would have opened avenues for many new small scale industries and ancillary units … resulting in overall civic and economic development of the area … on top of that, the leading lady is actually claiming that she’s not responsible for the Road blocks and agitation on the highways!!! And it is gov’s duty to maintain the law and order… I really wonder what made state not to arrest the lady and put her behind the bars and have a little security tighten from the other end (rather than protecting the dharna!) why is MB always on the side of stopping progress … or part of the problem … why is she never a part of Solution … ever ???
On the other end of the country, this state of Maharashtra has a different claim of being separatists … and believe it can sustain without other states/center’s help … people living in Mumbai (or Maharashtra) need to be speaking marathi only!!! What about the national language – which is Hindi … if a person speaks publically in hindi, he’s not against marathi – or is he?! Worst, starting an agitation against an industry / person with destructive outlook towards everything, I ask the Mr Raj – what has he done to Mumbai, Maharashtra or India … except instigating violence … I think he needs to read and understand the constitution rights of the citizen of India very clearly … imagine Mumbai with only maharashtrians … what about the labor class which comes from UP, Bihar and Orissa, what about the business and engineering class that is predominantly across the country … Mumbai without bollywood (most of the stars are not from Maharashtra itself) … without Ambanis’, Bajaj, Tatas, Mittals, and so many industrialists … overall the economy of the city and the state will be dumped to nothing … the rest of Maharashtra is anyway groping with poverty (read poor farmers) … By creating another army of men who are uneducated, unemployed and exploited youth … the issues cannot be resolved … I can agree on retaliation of anyone who’s offending the local culture … but agitation like destruction is certainly criminal.
