I am not a pessimist in many ways, however, when I think about the safety of an individual in India in the future, sugar, spice and everything nice gets drained out of me. After my relocation to Bangalore, I have also become a part of the large crowd of people who spends their time watching news, following updates, chatting with friends about how cruel the incident was, calling everyone you know to find out if they are safe, as soon as a terrorist attack takes place. A crowd that can never fully understand the pain felt by people who were victim to such attacks, a crowd that wants to be the first person to blog about the incident in his blog. Being part of such a crowd suffocates me. It causes anger to boil inside of me, causing every cell in my body to despise and hate the terrorists.
But I see what is going to happen one day after the events settle down. The opposition party will cry foul about how the ruling party has handled the issue. Some social activists/writers/journalists will say how instead of throwing stones at each other, all should come together and fight terrorists. The news channels will run 30 second clips of blood smeared pavements/floors/walls in never ending loops. Online discussion forums will have idiots belonging to different religions ranting about whose father’s dick is bigger. World leaders will come up with statements strongly despising the act of cowardice. Some extremist religious group will stand up and claim responsibility. People will hate the extremist group with all of their heart guts liver etc.
I also see what is going to happen after one week. News channels will hold interviews with the relatives of the unfortunate people who were in the middle of the attack and these people will put on a great show fully utilising their 15 minutes of fame. News channels will run talk shows with people discussing the inefficiency of the government, with BJP, Congress and SP representatives yakking about how they controlled terrorism better than the other. The news papers would try to dissect the origin of the terrorist group and the motive behind the attack. The anguish and the sense of being unsafe shall reduce a bit. Intelligence bureau would miraculously discover the entire plot and publish it to the media including the main hideouts of terrorists even before raiding such places. High profile religious leader’s would condemn the act and say it is against the teachings of the religion. Irrespective of all the statements made by religious leader’s people will continue to hate the religious group and the religion. The whose father’s dick is bigger discussions will continue.
I can see what will happen one month later also. Channels and news papers will remind everyone that one month has passed on since the terrible events took place. Political parties would continue blaming each other. The false sense of safety settles back into the minds of people who fail to comprehend that they could be the next target. The people will continue to hate the religion that the attackers belong to. The whose father’s dick is bigger argument would turn to whose mother is a whore argument.
I have some questions.
The first one is to the terrorist dumb fucks.
Why don’t you people sit back and reconcile what you are achieving out of terrorism? People in India will forget about your heroics in just one month. People will never remember your faces, your names or your existence. All you achieve after blasting bombs killing people in the name of religion is that you become successful in demeaning your own religion in the eyes of the world. DO you seriously think you are succeeding in your fight for your religion?
The second is to the dumb fuck religious leaders.
Why do you come and preach after the blasts rather than preaching against terrorism and guiding young minds in a more constructive direction?
Third is to the dumb fuck politicians.
Would you bastards ever do anything good for this country?
The last question is to you.
Do you think you are safe?
Think again.
NB: I felt like writing a lot of things I know that happens in UP that, if controlled can really set back the terrorist activities in India. But I shall write about that in a later post.DEJJAV
