INDIA WAKES UP

this is a little difference that i felt in my country after the 26th november 2008's attack.

 Wakes up? really ,I mean it!

My country woke up from a long dream you know.A dream that made every Indian feel that nuthing bad can actually happen to us.I myself, was a proud Indian citizen.I felt so proud about the fact that India is the world's largest democracy.I was proud that Indians could take up maximum jobs in a nation like USA or England.I was proud that my nation had forth largest Air Force, Navy and Land Forces.I was proud because most of the world liked us.

 

Ofcourse, there were bad things happening in the country all this time I was busy finding reasons to be even more proud of 'my sweet heart miss independent'.But it never mattered to me or anybody.Afterall, it happens in almost every country-demonstrations,firings,people dieing because of a civil war etc. But this 26th of november 2008, my country went through a terrorist attack.Lets say, not an attack, but an alarm clock, that went off and shook my country off its long sleep.Some fifteen terrorists  from somewhere in Pakistan came to Mumbai's coast and went off in different directions firing off everybody they found, to death. They took over two top hotels in the area and held people their hostages. The National Security Guards went into quick action and saved as many as they could.176 indians,22 foreigners dead."WHAT?!!!!.."was my reaction as I went through the news channels.I was almost heated up to a million degree centigrades."You mean, somebody open fired at my people right in my own land?"Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnngggg!!!Every citizen woke up!"Whats all this happening?"We asked,.Somebudy's mother was dead-we never cared.An officer died fighting off terror-we never cared.Our army's pay was terribly less-we never cared.'But'this time! It was different.We didn't just ignore it off this time. Reason-we were hit in our heart ,Mumbai. Suddenly we realized that our politicians were a complete failure at making the country safe. We just came to know, that almost anyone armed with a grenade and a machine gun can enter anywhere he likes to, and shoot us to death. "And what was our government doing?.."... building up explanations on the issue in superb press conferences, in air conditioned offices when the citizens were badly into trouble, with no sense of security at all! No!.. not anymore! Suddenly to my own surprise, I found myself, and every other Indian on the streets, protesting loud, protesting wild. Candles and anger and frustration everywhere. "None of us are going to loose our brothers or sisters now, the ones responsible for this, will have to pay for it." What was most hurting, was the fact that the terrorists now targeted foreigners.

 

 

We asked our government "What do you think will those people who came to

 

India as a guest think of it as now? What should we reply to them? "

Large demonstrations were held, everyone went shouting at the top of voice-"restore my country back to normal, now! "It wasn't a fake call you know, it wasn't just something 'they' can ignore. Government gave explanations and tried to curb the voice of common man (that is what they did every time my nation was in trouble).but this time...haha, no way, boss! And it bought out color too. Soon we saw Chief Minister of the state of Maharashtra resigning off from his post. Then his Secretary, then the home minister of central govt too. And there were strict actions taken against the Intelligence Bereau(IB), the Research and Analysis Wing(RAW) and the Coast Guards. All this was done as soon as we could. Giving every corrupt official take a permanent leave and making sure that our military and intelligence were working with the maximum efficiency possible...so much, that we are on a verge of declaring a state of war with terrorists in Pakistan. You know, I have always dreamt of leaving my country and settling down in some better part of World, earning in tonnes and living happily with a beautiful blonde, kids and my parents.

Well, I have changed my plans. My country took care of all my needs when I was young. It gave me good school, fantastic food, sweet life and everything I needed at times. And now, when somebody comes and hits my land right in its heart, what should I do?..run away, just to have a better life? Nope. I wunt run away. I cant let India keep crying out for help and being tortured by a couple of bloody insane terrorists. My nation needs me, I have realized it, every Indian has realized it.

. Now you can hear the voice of common Indian-clear and loud, and govt. is bound to listen. For the very first time in my life, I believe in my heart-Yes, I am proud of my beautiful Democracy. My sweetheart, the one, I am in terribly love with-India.

JAYA HIND!
