Another bomb blast and the capital city of India exploded this time. The bustle of the markets turned into bloody afternoons and the green lawn of the playground turned into a red carpet. Just think, if India also begins to remember such bloody days in its history as black days with some or other names, then without any doubt, 365 days of the year would fall into that category.

The United States faced an attack on September 11, and that was enough to spur them on to a constant fight against terrorism. And I respect the US government for the strict measures taken against such ant social elements. But what can we say about India? People face the attacks of September 11 on a weekly basis and yet the government continues to give repeated consolations. It seems so surprising that terror emails are sent to police offices before the blasts and then the police remain inefficient. Political parties continue to blame each other for the explosions and the government shows pain by declaring a certain amount of money for the dead and wounded. It is not a shame only for India but for the whole world that the greatest democracy suffers so much. Does it show the inefficiency of the democratic form of government or the multitude of greedy people that such government represents? However, does it show the disinterest of the Indian population of more than 100 million with the largest number of colleges and universities to choose the correct form of government?

We vote for the parties our ancestors have voted for without applying our own sense of discretion. Have you ever thought about the past history of those leaders who roam around you looking for your votes at election time? And the most important question, are we obliged to vote for those representatives that the parties select for us? Can’t we select an educated and more efficient person to rule us?

The whole world would have seen the Indian parliament ministers buying and selling each other for millions of rupees to gain the maximum majority and rule the nation. Think of the Indians, whose choice is that? Today, the nation is suffering because terrorists are free. Yes, everyone else suffers in such explosions except the parties and their representatives. So, it is time to think and review the past and refine our future to make our homeland a better place to live.
