Remembering blast martyrs

After Agartala where? Home Minister Shivraj Patil in between changing his suits can consult an astrologer and try to find out. May be he is able to save some precious lives.
The harsh reality is that bomb blasts will not stop. It can be any city, any neighborhood and any market. The responses would also be the same. Also it is true that the ‘insects’ need to succeed once while the intelligence and security agencies will have to succeed all the time. If the national security advisor is to be believed many such attacks have been foiled but still they have been able to strike with an alarming regularity.
The terrorists want to spread panic, trigger communal clashes and shatter the economic bases of our country. Even if the blasts can not be stopped surely the evil designs of those behind these blasts can be prevented from succeeding.
First and foremost we should immediately stop calling those dying in bomb blasts as victims. It is a war and those who die in war are not victims but martyrs. The media both electronic and print would better serve the country by calling them martyrs. Do we call a soldier who dies on the front a victim? If the enemy is killing our men inside our territory does that make them victims? No. Anyone who is dying in a bomb blast is sacrificing his or her life. The state should cremate them with full state honors as inspector Sharma who died in the Delhi encounter was cremated. Also there should be no word such as compensation. If any financial help has to come at all, it has to come in the form of a reward. After all nothing can compensate a life laid down for the sake of the country.
There is no dearth of people willing to give the supreme sacrifice when it comes to the country. What we need is true leadership. Not a home minister who changes his suits when bombs are ripping the country apart.
We are a country of Gandhi and it is time we challenge the terrorists to come and strike wherever and whenever they want. We won’t stop from visiting our religious places or our markets. Our economy will continue to thrive. No matter how many you kill. Every Indian is a soldier. How many will you kill? Hain sar bhi bahut aur baazoo bhi bahut, Katte bhi chalo aur badte bhi chalo
Having said that, the country demands a serious response from those sitting in north and south block. Identify the insects and kill them in their holes.
