She called me and said:"Hemanshu, my sister is dead. She is killed in Sarojini Nagar bomb blast". Till then any blast or any carnage was just another story of the newspaper to me. Then she came to meet me on her way back to USA and narrated her heartbreaking story. The dreams her sister had. The struggle she went through to establish herself as a fashion designer. The struggle she had undergone to ensure her younger sisters are well educated and married suitably. But before she could realise her own dreams, she was killed. I saw her pictures. The beautiful girl in the prime of her youth was a bare, charred, stiff dead body. Almost after 2 years even today it gives me goose bumps.
200 people are dead in Mumbai terrorist firing. Think of the pain which each family would undergo. The loss of a family member and on top of it beaurocratic procedures to claim the dead body. But who cares? It is only those who suffer can understand the agony.
The common man can die in dearth of security, but Mayawati, the chief minister of UP needs an army of 400 security men. A soldier might die because he is ill equipped because there is no money to buy equipment but there is money to buy SUVs for the MLAs and MPs with criminal history. You cannot expect much from them, because they are either too illiterate to understand nuisances of the world or come from such criminal background where they themselves have been killing people.
Every 6 months there is a killing spree in India. No matter how much ever they refute, everyone knows who is responsible for it. What are we waiting for? How much blood spill do we want before acting? How many famlies we want to be bereaved? Why not there is an end to it?
Its now time for action. No matter whether it is armed or unarmed solution. I as an Indian Citizen want an end to this killing spree.
