Terrorists Unite India

Indian Politicians: Spot the middle finger.

God bless terrorists! Without them, the country is plunged into darkness. Maharashtra is fighting Bihar and Karnataka is fighting Tamil Nadu. Or somewhere in north-east India, separatists are killing tribals. In Orissa, Christians and Hindus are blaming each other for communal tension. When terrorists strike, all these factions become united for a short time. So God bless terrorists.
India is a pitiful country. Like in the past, its people are bent on destroying it internally. The British or the Muslims would never have conquered us if the native kings were united. Similarly, no terrorist can bother us if we work united. But the nation is still soaked in caste and religion; every day there are reports of caste based politics and religious hatred. My self-made sample of daily news that defines India:
- MBA graduate harasses wife for dowry
- IAS officer under scanner for corruption
- Brahmin youth attack Dalit village
- Christians convert Dalit causing riots
- DGP arrested for bribery
Even India’s most popular sport is not spared from corruption. It is common news that many players in the Indian cricket team are selected on regional biases.
But all these conflicts disappear when terrorists strike. The message is clear; when you are not destroying us, we are destroying ourselves.
All this nonsense about terrorists affecting our moral and social fibre will disappear in a few weeks time and the country will get back to its usual pettiness. Let us not be blinded by news channels asking us to be united and spirited; it just doesn’t work in this country.
The only people who should be sad are those who lost their loved one in the attacks. I don’t think they will say that the politicians must be united in tackling terror. They will also not go about preaching harmony. They will spend time recovering and while doing so, hear shrill voices of communal faith.
Tomorrow: For those who lost someone…

I agree that we are probably our worst enemies. Until and unless we can stop the disputes within the nation, we will not succeed in eliminating external terrorists. While you have talked about terrorists uniting the country, I must make a point about a comment I read on another blog — this individual was trying to highlight how it was the Maharashtrian cops that gave up their lives. I found it appalling that in a time like this, they were looking at regional issues. Unfortunately, with the way the politicians are, conflicts due to regionalism and religion is likely to continue for a long long time…

Psych Babbler,
I agree with you. We must kill regionalism or learn to live within our narrow houses forever.
If we start this regional debate then the Punjab regiment of the Army would fight only if Punjab is attacked. Can we have this?
We should have a separate state in India. for Politicians. There they can do anything they want!
