Bring back POTA. Dont show these terrorists any mercy. They dont deserve any human rights. Simply hang them. Just to please the minority community, the government isnt taking serious action.
If you just hang people without a fair trial then somewhere along the line, innocent people will also be charged guilty. Now innocent people are being targeted by terrorists but POTA can be misused by the corrupt who are in power and there is no shortage of corrupt people holding positions of power in India. What will you do if a cop who has a grudge against you labels you a terrorist under POTA? There will be nobody you can turn to. Nobody will believe you are innocent. There is a very good reason for not bringing back POTA. Its not the answer.
Thanks apporva84..we all educated ppl know what we need..But can anyone suggest wat as a common individual we can do ? to avert such tragedies ?
Some of the things we can do are:
1. Check under the seats when you travel in buses. Try and check that people in front of you don't leave their belongings behind. Alert the bus conductor immediately if you see anything suspicious. Atmost it will turn out to be a false alarm and a little inconvenience. But thats anyday better than the worst that could happen.
2. When you are travelling in trains, keep an eye on people who keep bags in the racks above the seats and make sure they don't leave it in the train.
3. Usually people have regular spots where they park their vehicles, if you own(or work at) a shop, watch for bikes/cars etc being left parked by unknown people for extended periods of time outside your shop, ask the person parking the bike when they would be coming back and where they are going. If you don't get a satisfactory response, don't let them park there or threaten to call the police. If they still leave the bike/car parked, try to get a good look at them so their sketches can be made incase they turn out to be the nasties.
4. If you are in a public space like a market or a mall or a festive gathering etc. be aware and alert of your surroundings. One person cannot be aware of everything that happens around him/her. But if everybody tries to be aware then we can all be more secure.
5. Since most of you are techies here, try to secure every computer/network that
you have access to.
Why not create a software that could be installed in every cyber cafe/office/mall to monitor their networks for keywords which terrorists might use while communicating with each other and then automatically alert the authorities? Instead of all this hacking and cracking why not create something useful like this and pass it on to the govt. or to the ATS or to the general public? All the fabled IT grey matter that India posesses, when are you going to come good?
As far as terrorism in India is concerned hanging terrorists or shooting them, thats only trying to cure the symptom and not the root of the disease. The root is our
friendly neighbour to the west. They are using PoK for terrorist training camps. They claim PoK to be Azad Kashmir and then say that "our territory isn't being used for terrorist activities". If our politicians are so sure of this situation then why not take control over PoK and deny Pakistan the chance to such claims...wait that option isn't possible because it would require our politicians to first grow some balls!
But if we give up hope and start thinking "even God can't save India", then thats exactly what the terrorists want. We can't let that happen. Just have to pull the cloak tighter and keep walking against the wind
hahaha....diversity is the biggest enemy of india..we dont have a single language..we discriminate on basis of caste,sex,money,etc etc ..(im talking abt common man) How can we pull the cloak when there are so many holes !
The only way to have total uniformity is if there is only person left alive. Even then that person would be under threat from other forms of life. Diversity is a fact of life. It cannot be wished away. India's diversity, whether its religion or language(definitely not gender!) is not its biggest enemy. Yes, discrimination on the basis of caste, gender and religion has to be done away with. Discrimination on the basis of money, that is the difference between the haves and the have nots, which unfortunately can only be eliminated in an utopian society and ours is not one and will never be.
There will always be resistance. So we cannot expect or hope for the wind to stop blowing against us. We cannot expect any single cloak to provide complete protection against the wind, as no cloak is perfect and every cloak will have holes. So using only one cloak and expecting and hoping for it to provide protection against the wind is also not the answer.
India's diversity is not like one cloak full of holes. It is infact like multiple cloaks providing layers of protection against the wind(resistance). If the holes in one cloak result in failure of the cloak to provide protection then the next layer will protect. The real problem then are the bugs who create these holes in our social fabric. Whether they are hindutva or islamic fundamentalists or greedy blood sucking politicians, they are just bugs who are trying to eat away our social fabric to ensure their own survival. No matter what social fabric(even if its a uniform fabric) it can and will eventually be worn out by these bugs unless we continually keep on repairing and maintaining it. Yes, it is difficult to maintain more than one cloak. No matter which social fabric we individually prefer, the temptation to discard the others in favour of just one is great but we should not give in to that.
We are one of the oldest thriving civilizations on earth. Even if there has been one predominant religion here but over time we have successfully absorbed, assimilated and coexisted with people from other faiths and origins. Today we really have a culture and a way of life that is unique and maybe even alien to a world which is increasingly beginning to view diversity as a problem and uniformity as the solution. There is no end to examples of people from different faiths visiting each others places of worship, participating in festivals, enjoying different kinds of food, providing money and shelter and even blood during times of need, inter-religious marriages and many more such examples that I cannot even think of. Nowhere else in the world will you find such Unity in Diversity as in India. Personally for me, India's diversity is its greatest source of strength and pride.
The world that we live in is getting darker everyday. Those bugs that thrive on this darkness want us to give in to it but the important thing is we don't let the darkness engulf our hearts. We cannot give in to despair, anger and hatred. It is during the darkest hours like this that we have to remember our
Indianess. An India without her diverse nature is not the India that I have grown to love and cherish. I don't know about you but no matter what these bugs do, I refuse to surrender my Indianess.
Yes, we need a dictator because democratically elected representatives are s*it.
The situation would be even worse under a dictatorship. Look at Pakistan. Has dictatorship there done any good for them? None.
Democracy isn't perfect but its the best form of government that we know of. Every other alternative is worse. The problem isn't democracy but like you said, "democratically elected
representatives". In India the
representatives are the problem. Had we continued to have leaders in power who would put the country's interests before themselves, then Indian democracy with India's diversity would have been a beautiful example for the rest of the world. That there would have been true India Shining.
I dont even know what I am talking about...
