The nation mourns the loss of valiant offficers and men of the police and armed forces, whose selfless sacrifice reiterates that true History is the story of the common man, our leaders and politicians do not fall in this category. Our heartfelt gratitude to men like Hemant Karkare, Major Unnikrishnan, Gajendra Singh, Salaskar and so many more- 'because YOU were there WE are here.'
But what has emerged in this great tragic moment is the human face of terror. While politicians speculate on vested interests or extreme indifference the common man emerges as the true Indian.The selfless sacrifice of the martyrs have proved this time and again.
The only gesture that the whole nation anticipated was perhaps only the unity of the government and the opposition in the face of one of the greatest national crisis of all times.Alas they have let us down as always.
Do our LEADERS know their History well enough? Does History never warn them that it repeats itself ? Do they not see that those terrible men who mastermind such dasterdly act are watching out and making note? Why do the leaders forget that they have pledged their loyalty and selfless service to 'we the people of India ' who have brought them to power?
Consider the service that these martyrs would have rendered not only to India but to the world at large... calculate the loss... its immeasurable. For terrorism today is a global concern.
Sacrifice in war, martyrdom for the country sounds heroic. But behind all this perhaps so many of us are conveniently enjoying our right to live without perferming our duty towards the nation.
Where have our ideals gone? Shouldn't the Constitution be ammended to make our Fundamental Duties justiciable by law?
