Today December 13, 2010 marks the 9th anniversary of terrorist attack on Parliament in 2001.The heroic acts of our brave soldiers to defend it with their life, earned them great respects and salutations not only from me but from every Indian. There was this huge unanimous outcry to declare war on Pak and indeed Govt .of India with its action made this inevitable. Almost more than half of our armed forces were deployed across the enemy border and the conditions prompted that for the first time in our Indian History, we as a nation are to going to strike first on an enemy nation keeping aside the tag ‘peace loving nation ‘.Alas! it didn’t happen for good or bad, we buckled under international pressure especially from China & US.
I still remember it vaguely as I couldn’t digest this fact. I just couldn’t comprehend the situation as we have damn strong reason on this earth to start this conflict. But it didn’t happen for good ,if it turned out to be a nuclear war, we would have exterminated ourself. Einstein once aptly said “ I ‘m sure that after the third world war , the fourth world war would be fought with hands and rocks” . May be war isn’t always a solution to problem, there are may be other ways to solve the problem.
Almost all the wars in the mankind history were fought for land. Kashmir, a gifted place on Earth led two nations into tug of war. Though Kashmir is only a tip of iceberg in their grandest vision of de-stabilizing India as a nation, which would obviously never come true. As a common man it would be difficult to understand as to how does his way of simple living inflicts mammoth hatredness to people living in other nation. Can there be a peaceful solution ?.
The mind of a terrorist is infected and the only way he could relieve himself is to do an act that would please his God which only leads us to see many horrific acts like 26/11 mumbai, bomb blasts across cities etc . The rootcause of conflict partially the idealogy of the Islamic radicals ( not Islam as a whole ) is quite disturbing. These radicals promise to bring back the 1000 years ago glory when Islam was at its peak almost ruling entire Asia as well as Europe. This idealogy must be tackled by wide spread of actual message of Islam which is to spread the peace and such horrific acts are against to the will of God. And please stop thinking that every muslim is a terrorist. Another cause of concern would to provide basic facilities for existence. The developmental activities in the affected areas must be fast tracked as this would give hope for better life.
Our past experience simply suggest that our diplomacy failed miserably to bring the Pak before the international community. A massive attack like 26/11 only now brought considerable attention to India’s issues about Pak. A serious retrospection into our diplomacy as well as foreign policy must be done as to how to alienate Pak from the international community until unless it fully -co-operates with us in tackling terrorism.
Though in the future , I feel that this is heading towards no-where but to war, as India is running out of its patience as well as all the diplomatic options and would soon be reaching its saturation point after which a war is inevitable.A nation’s character would get exposed in hostile situations. We must not go down in the history as a nation with only billion words but with an attitude to act when required.

I dont intend to suggest a solution to this problem cause that would sound naive as there would be many factors coming into picture which might take a book to write and not a simple post . I only intend to share my few thoughts about this increasingly disturbing issue. I dont intend to hurt anyone.
A tribute to all the matyrs who laid their lives for this great nation .. INDIA.
