Terrorists and us

It’s not even a month since the terrorists attacked the economic heart of India and we, the sufferers, have begun to forget the incident. The celebrative spirit has overcome the fear and terror and all the promises that were made to us seem to have lost somewhere. Only a blur image of whatever has happened remains somewhere in mind of all, but no one seems to care about it anymore. And the bitter truth is that even I do not want to remember that incident anymore. This is how things have always been; may it be the attack on parliament or the half acquisition of Kashmir by our neighbor; we always forget the bad things and forgive those responsible for it. But whenever I think about this, I feel ashamed of myself. At that moment a question arises in my mind: do we have the right to forgive anyone? Are we just a bunch of cowards, acting brave by doing that? A great poet has said in Hindi that only those have the right to forgive who have the power to destroy. The question is: do we have the power to destroy?
Our neighbor responded to the terrorist attacks in a very diplomatic way. At first it seemed that they were actually not involved in all this. But they are showing their true colors now, first by denying the fact that the terrorists were not their aborigines and now saying that they will not hand over the most wanted terrorists to India. They had even made a statement that if needed they will send the ISI officers to India for further investigations. But as soon as the Pak army intervened, our dear neighbors even refused to accept the fact that they have even made a statement like that. And as someone truly said: our neighborhood is suffering from anarchy in the monarchy of its army.
And with LeT warning for beach party on new year and declaring Christmas as evil, and at the same time Taj rebuilding itself and preparing for the new year celebration, I can smell the blood which is yet to be shed and I can see the eyes which never sheds but only makes promises and increase their vote bank. But I still hope this event will bring some rage among our people and will help them build up a mentality of not forgetting whatever happens to them. But I can just hope..
