Since i have been born i have been under the impression that we have but one enemy in the real world-Pakistan. But am i to be judged as yet another prejudiced indian? That is precisely why my cousin Sheivani(ei???!!!!!) says i have these rigid stereotypes for everything. Time for self-rectification.
With new movies coming up empathizing with the present Paki scenario, we find that life across the LOC is not too different from ours. And i am sure there are thousands of those who are sympathetic with the Indian stance of non-agression. But dont our leaders today think that the situation is getting out of hand. Are we blind fools to stand quietly while the enemies of democracy try to disrupt our otherwise peaceful existence. The recent bomb blasts in Delhi shud have been an eyeopener for our slumbering government. But they seem to be too busy deciding an appropriate line of action. Too bad. We seem to have ideals that are a bit hard to live upto these days. We do not have natkhat Krishna or maryaada purushootam Ram to save us from evil this time.
What surprises me even more is how an internationally recognized government can openly provide covering fire to militants planning to cross into our holy ground (never assume that it is only the land of pakistan that is actually pak). And we have not even issued a strict official reprimand. If it had been the US in our stead, we cud have expected a major demolition mission underway by now. But we are not US, nor are we PAkistan. But then there must be something that we can do.
An engineer can do nothing but analyze facts logically. Why is the govt. of pak. so adamant about trying to invoke our ire? And why is Kashmir such an important issue? Coz frm what i have heard, the most beautiful regions of the kashmir region are in POK. The only reason that seems likely enough not to make u think i am crazy is that they think access to the Indian mainland will quicken their development. But then isnt the course of action they are following too risky? It is highly likely that one day the very land of pak. will be destroyed by a nuclear weapon that was let off just to satisfy our hurt egos. But, that is too extreme.
My job is naught but to ask questions. If i knew the answers my ambition wud have been to run this amazing nation. But i dont. So i hope some day our diplomats? will come across my blog and know what we ordinary indians feel. And as far as the land of Kashmir is concerned, there is no way that we can let go of it, for reasons of securiy as well as selfesteem, both of which are our right by birth. Those who want to merge into pak. can go for all we care. But they have no right to claim land that is as much mine as it is of any kashmiris. Not that i am anti-kashmiri. I am sure most of them are really as patriotic as iam . But pls, those of you who are not faithful to our beloved nation, buzz off( and i had other words in mind, but i am a good indian).
Too serious a post, but i find that it helps to be serious once in a while so that those who have seen only the jolly version of us indians shud know that we are capable of serious thought. But i was frustrated and needed to let off some steam. I am however feeling better already.
Hope to right a few more of these damned blogs, too much " mehnat" involved i tell u.
Ciao.
PS:-Damn, Stud now costs Fifty bucks. Still within grasp though ;).
