Why we fail

the atlanticists are right this time

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/04/world/asia/04lapses.html?_r=1

this a a failure of the indian state. police training, planning and equipping is the job of the politico military elite - all of who have failed. we could end up like the failed latin american nations where politicians, judges and people are routinely shot by drug runners and other criminals

arun shourie had this piece on how this government failed - it is actually true of the NDA rascals too - they did not swat a fly for improved security in their 6 years

all summed up well by the guy in the NYT piece saying

“I sometimes wonder whether we deserve any better,” he said.

FIDAYEEN TERROR THREAT: Narendra Modi is next

"One of the intelligence intercepts said the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) was determined to avenge the killings of over a thousand Muslims in Gujarat in 2002 by killing 5,000 in Gujarat. Similar information has now been revealed by the lone terrorist now in the custody of the Mumbai police," says an intelligence source.

Another senior Maharashtra police officer said a group of LeT operatives was already in Gujarat trying to penetrate Modis inner cordon.

"After the Mumbai attacks, the threat to Modi has increased. Our perception is suicide attackers have moved close to Modi, and the state government has been asked to be on high alert," the officer said.

This is very serious and the Government should do everything possible to protect Gujarat Chief Minister Mr. Narendra Modi, a great visionary and nationalist leader that Bharat has seen in a long while.

"why we fail", bcoz we are dumb. To give an instance, the state govt. of Haryana carved out an entire new muslim-majority district (district of Mewat) in 2005 from the existing districts of Gurgaon & Faridabad just bcoz the "kaangress" cm of the state had made an electoral promise to the muslims (meos) of this region. (i thnk the govt. of kerala had dome something similar ages back). No prizes for guessing what it must be like for the hindu minority in ths district. Their were a few sporadic protests from the RSS-BJP and thats it. This country is heading for disaster with a capital D, unless the Hindus wake up.

We fail because the majority of our junta does little more than lighting candles. Very few want to read news from the Organiser, or the Pioneer. The majority thinks the world is exactly like it is described by the likes of Barhka dutt, Rajdeep Sardesai, Vir Singhvi, Prannoy Roy, Suzanne "Arundhati" Roy, Manmohan Singh, Antonia "Sonia Gandhi" Maino.

Our janta thinks:
--Jehadis are killing becuase of some problem that the BJP started.
--More muslim and christian appeasement is the solution to terror.
--Anyone who tells you any different is a Fundoo Hindoo
Fascist Terrorist Nazi (fill in the rest).

The public is clueless, does not care to keep monitoring reality, and wakes up only when there is a terror attack. And when they wake up, they give us their foolish, ambiguous views. Then they go back to watching CNN-IBN, NDTV, reading ToI, Outlook, eating pakodas, and watching cricket/bollywood.

When their own carrer is at stake, they will read, study, work throughout the year, not just at exam time. However, when the country is at stake, they will live a disengaged, apathetic life till an attack occurs.
