A Sad and Bad Dipavali 2005 Beginning and Delhi
Posted : October 30, 2005 at 9:37 pm [IST]
I am sad, rather shocked, pained, and perturbed. While we were in this per-Dipavali carnival with the people of the Sector 41 of Noida gathered to celebrate the festival of lights with food, games, shopping, singing and dancing, some areas of terror torn Delhi was deep in darkness, crying and rushing around to find out if some of their own men are among the killed and injured in unprecedented serial blasts by terrorists in Delhi.
You can see some photographs too. The police failed to stop these terrorists’ attacks. Perhaps, because of the improving relationship with Pakistan, the police and intelligence agencies must have gone complacent. How long can these agencies be keeping themselves in totally alert condition technically?
Can something be done about it? What do these terrorists wish to achieve? Will their killing of innocent children and women attain their goals? Are they at all humans with some logics for their actions? Can there be some way that society help? Why is it not doing that?
All these terrorists who execute these acts live in our own society for a short period or some as regular citizens of the country for long time till they are identified. It raises some very pertinent questions. Why don’t we know about our neighbors? Why is there no fellowship in the community living together? Is not our aloofness in living style costing a lot for the society?
I feel the society and social leaders must become more responsible. We must know all the people living in our locality. We must try to mix and find out the suspicious persons. We must help the security agencies. Perhaps, in this country of billion our dependence for our security totally on the government agencies is unrealistic.
I hope we all seriously think about our role to prevent these massacre. However, life goes on as usual. And the people of Delhi and India are brave enough to face the terror on short-term and long-term. Let the enemies be in no doubt and start counting their days.

Dear Sir,
We have become indifferent to these events ,we have developed a typical “chalne do” attitude,devoid of any emotions unless it impacts us directly.No matter how much economic progress we make,if we can’t develop basic human values and love for fellow breathren we can’t make the progress which we are striving for.
Our politicians have failed us time and time again,failing to take care of their people whom they pledge to serve.All they are good at is the financial compensation that can be given for each life lost,offcourse this comes from the taxes that the folks who died would have contributed to.
