We have been hearing a lot of troubling news from India lately. But along with the sad news, I also had a glance of some promising signs, which could be the change we need to see in our country.
The Lok Sabha session which was held last week, mainly discussed national security, with the aim to thwart any terrorists' plans. For a change, we saw the whole house united. The leader of the opposition said that the opposition would back any measure the government would take against terrorism. Terrorism was our common enemy. It was said that Indians (irrespective of religion, caste, or political inclinations) were on a war with terror. I enjoyed watching our leaders speak about our national identity.
Our Prime Minister apologized for the attack that he accepted could have been avoided. I understand that this apology would mean nothing to the families who lost loved ones in the dastardly act. My respects to them. Nonetheless, I must admit that it takes courage to accept that one has done wrong. I hope that he and the government now speak through their actions. I hope they can walk the talk!

Well having talked of that, you should have also taken into account the unsentimental and harsh controversial remarks made by the Chief Minister of Kerala on Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan s family. It goes "Had it not been Sandeeps house, not even a dog would have glanced that way". It would have been a "Promising sign " had this retard(Our "Beloved" CM) been ousted from his seat the very next moment. The issue has sank down(which is more than obvious !). No ones bothered anymore. But lets not focus on the pessimistic issues anymore. We have our present which is a direct consequence of our past. I hope and pray that the signs indicated are promising and show a "Ray of hope". Good work with the blog !
Yes.. In fact I watched most of that session on "Lok Sabha" channel.. This I have never done before.. Maybe it was the way they conducted themselves or the talk they made.. I did see some noteworthy thoughts coming from young MPs too. I hope they don't stop with "condemning" the attacks in speeches.
Now Shankar, that you have watched the Lok Sabha session is a promising sing for our country :)
