14 years -But still no Justice

1993 march 12..... some of us many not remember the significance of that day,but those who lost everything in those gruesome bombings will never forget that day. officially 271 people dead but the unofficial count may be even more scary. it is a case of national security and it took 14 years to solve that case and finally the verdict is out. But what happened to the main culprit...Tiger Menon.... could we able to find him and put him behind the bars. No...Can we do that atleast after few years ....Probably not. So what we achieved finally...... simply we get rid of one long lasting case and feeling relaxed. Why our system is so ineffective and what measures we are taking to change it. If i commit a crime of this type at the age of 50 then i don't need to worry about anything because by the time the final verdict is out i may not be on this earth to listen what sentence the Honorable judge will give it to me. Even the final verdict is out the game is not yet over there is Supreme Court and i am sure it'll continue.

As citizens we are always on the receiving end only but if it is the case of justice we are far away from that. We do strikes and Bandhs for many reasons but never for demanding national security. Unless we change we can't ask for anything more. I ask the nation to think about it.

National Heritages& Ramasetu

I don't know what the definition govt has given to national heritages...because govt considers useless QutabMinar as a national heritage but emotional Ramasetu isn't. So the Govt is trying to destroy the "Ramasetu" in the name of Sethusamudram Project. But is it fair to do so? When we are spending crores of rupees to protect tombs and old jewellary can't we forgo some amount for our "Ramasetu" which is belived to be built by Lord Rama some 10,000 years ago. Today there may be some evidences that say that the bridge didn't build by Rama and based on that we destroy the bridge. But after few years if we get some clear evidence that the bridge actually built by Rama then what we can do.....can these politicians and others bring back that bridge........If Govt really wants to save so much money then ask the Govt to give Kashmir to Pakistan so that we don't need to spend so many thousands of crores on defence. Can we do that and should we?.....No we should not because money is not everything.....If each Indian contributes 1 Rupee per month then we can can some 1200 crores per annum....For such kind of amount can we really afford to destroy our ancient symbols..........destroying is very easy but rebuilding is not....I ask the nation to think about it and be concern about it.
