Spinelessness and Impotence !!

The terror attack in Hyderabad (and in other parts of India over the past three years) has proved that the Indian government lacks a comprehensive national security strategy.Terrorism is a menace afflicting the world.It has hit India the hardest on so many occasions.Our leaders run the country in such a callous manner.In spite of so many terror attacks,the govt shows shocking impotence and spinelessness in dealing with terrorism.India is probably the only country in the world which has repealed a stringent anti-terror law which would have been effective in the long run.The moment someone talks of a stringent anti-terror law,they are branded 'communal' which is unfortunate.Appeasement politics is not going to take India forward.The govt and civil society must learn to be vigilant and take certain tough decisions in the interest of national security.The finger of suspicion,again, this time around,with good reason,is being pointed towards the usual suspect groups and yet we pursue peace with the nations sheltering them in a devout manner.It is time that we start aiming for 'dignified peace' rather than 'peace at any cost' with our neighbours.
