Will Gandhigiri be helpful ?


In the wake of recent serial blasts in Hyderabad, I really wonder where will it end? Or rather will it ever end? what do these sick minds achieve by killing so many innocent people.

I sincerely wonder if these kind of incidents do even matter to the people now a days। Does it have any impact on our day to day life at all? Or has it just become part of our routine? Have we (including the government as well) just accepted it as part of our fate and decided to move on?

1> 11th July 2006 Mumbai bomb blasts। Around 100+ casualties। Impact of only few hours on the train network, business and everything back to normalancy by very next morning
2> August 25th 2007, Hyderabad Bomb blasts at 7।45 PM. Believe me at 9.30 PM I have seen heavy traffic around the masab tank area. in fact I was also roaming around in the same area. I felt as if nothing has happened. Forget about any impact on business here.


Just read somehwhere India is second to Iraq when it comes to # of casualties by terrorism.Look at USA, when it was hit by the 11th September 2001 attacks, all of its B-1s, B-2s, F-1s, F-2s took off and within 3-4 months 2 governments were toppled, displaced. Warnings were given to the rest of the world regarding whether they (the countries) were with USA or against USA. See the results.There had not been a single small terrorist activity on the USA soil, forget the acivity of the magnitude of 9-11.

On the other hand I hardly rememebr India taking any stand (forget strong stand) against these elements. Forget toppling any government, we couldn't even exradict our own convicts from other countries. Results year after year, month after month we are seeing repeated activities.Obviously there are many questions with answers to few.
1> Are we capable of doing what USA has done?

2> Do we have guts of doing what USA has done?
3> Do we have external support for doing what USA has done?
4> And the last but the foremost important, are we matured enough to even think to the scale what they have done.
So many questions , but I am sincerely struggling to find any convincing answers.

Okay if we feel we are not as strong as USA, if we think we are not as powerful as USA, then compare ourselves against the tiny Israel.It was affected by worst ever terrorism than ours. You all know the strong actions they have taken and what's the status of israel now.

Coming back to the above 4 questions, I am afraid if answer to any one of the above question will be positive। But what could be the real reasons? There could be number of reasons.

May be we have different mind set altogether. May be Gandhigiri has deeply rooted in our blood. It's just that we have accepted this as our fate and surendered to it. Otherwise how it is possible that we have almost 10-15 major blasts in last 10-15 years. And still we don't act onto it.

But where is this heading? Is there any permanent solution for this in India? or we just have to live with it the way we are doing now?
