Yes, friends...this time you got it right, it was same serial blast that brought these cities charisma to a standstill.

इंदia has been the target of repeated terrorist attacks attributed to Islamist terrorists। Experts say the vast majority of those attacks in the last few years were carried out by SIMI with help from outside India, chiefly Pakistan। Till now, SIMI has been responsible for most of 1,193 deaths attributed to Islamic terrorists in India since Sept. 11, 2001, according to the South Asia Terrorism Portal, a New Delhi research firm.

So, how long this story will continue...or in hash words a cruel bloodshed battle will continue। Days come and goes, blasts happens and innocent lose their lives. Government make fake promises, agencies claim we are ready to track or prepare from any worst condition...but and but...still every alternate month we get to hear this news. Government promises to give compensation, politicians share some words and the chapter get closed.

Today, I want to ask question to all the citizen of India-
1. Are we getting habitual of these blasts?
2. What kind of future we want to give to upcoming generation?
How long we will carry this burden, a seed that was bowed during partition has now grown into a big tress, and unfortunately today this tree is fruiting products like Indian Mujahideen, SIMI, foreign terrorist organizations such as Lashkar-e-तैबा।

I want to ask questions to government of India-
1. Why POTA has been removed?
2. How long we have to face all these bloody carnage just in name of religion or God or land?
Bomb blasts are heinous crime on humanity। Those who are doing so are machines controlled in the hands of masterminds sitting away at safe places। Bomb blasts are heinous crime on humanity. Those who are doing so are machines controlled in the hands of masterminds sitting away at safe places.

Finally, rethinking has to be done to implement a proper law and strategy to deal with this curse। A proper communication, education, rights should be given to our youth and every citizen of India। Lets us not divide this nation in any more just in the name of surname or caste. The media, NGO, Govt, all security systems must contribute to lure our youths to live good life so no one can go to become a puppet in the hands of the masterminds. We Indians forget things very fast since everyone in us who is not affected by such blast watch news channel condemns it and wait for another blast to happen but ask who lost their nearer and dearer in such incidents.

Wake up before it’s too late.... Wake up now otherwise it will be too late. I am sure if each and every one of us opens our eye and be cautious 80% of blast could be stopped and we can succeed terrorist could be nabbed. All we need is to understand our responsibility as the true citizen of India and work together to overcome from this issue.

How far can we go in the name of God

India...We claim ourselves to be one of the largest democratic nations in the world. We always talk about unity in diversity. Our great politicians always deliver speeches and speeches emphasizing upon equal rights for everybody. We are talking about economic development and one of the most powerful developing nations in the global map. I thought for a while ...well dear friends...I can keep on adding various attributes or you can say so called various feel-good factors to make ourselves happy. But what happened in Kandhamal district in Orrisa has shocked the entire nation.

“Welcome to Kandhamal”, announces a road sign board. Well, a small nature’s paradise surrounded with lush green forest and green hills, dotted with springs and soothing climate has become a new synonym to emerging battle ground...a perfect paradigm on –how much we can hate in the name of God. Unfortunately, it is a harsh reality. Perhaps a small district that got full coverage in various newspapers or pulled the attention of millions of people across the entire nation. Attack on Christians – 4845 incidents, 1,949 dead, 16,792 injured. That’s an official summary of communal violence in India between 2001 to 2007. As Mob go on rampage in Orrisa-states Sunday Time. Would you like to have any more statistics or data? to make you realize or aware you about the cruel truth that is currently prevailing in the soil in Orrisa.

Kandhamal district has been in news for last couple of years. The ratio of conflicts between Hindu Kandh Tribal and Christian Dalit Panas has increased dramatically. What you will do when you lost entire family or your sweet home is burned in a single night? Just some words of sympathy. But words of compassion have no meaning for Rabindranath Pradhan. “Lord helps us, where I will go? Forgive us our sins. Jesus where are you, you are the only one. Save us from our misfortune.” The words are tumbling out. Narmada is weeping with her children.

Attack on Christians on 1st September, 2008 was one of worst communal violence between Hindus and Christians in Orrisa. As the result of this violence 16 persons killed, 35 injured, 185 arrested, 558 houses and 17 places of worship burnt. And unfortunately as always our politicians are once again trying to boil the issue out of proportion. VSP International General Secretary, who likes nothing except to drive non-Hindus out of India.

Today, I really feel sad to say that we all don’t deserve to celebrate and promote our tag of being called as A Nation with Unique Unity with wide Diversity. Sometimes, I feel it would be really hash for Mr. Gandhi to accept the mental condition of nation even after 50 years of independence.

Nothing has changed even after 61 years of Indian independence. As, I mentioned in my previous blogs problems like poverty and equal rights for every class has remained untouched in many parts of India and the picture of Orrisa is not different. The battle is over jobs, land, status and then religion. Possibly, the time has come when we all need to understand the importance of peace and equal right and law for everybody. The violence that took place in Khandhmal can happen any where in India unless our elected government implement some strict measures to overcome from these crises.
