The epicenter of terror has become its own victim. By attacking the Sri Lankan cricket team, Pakistan has proved that it is the terror capital of the world. No sane person including sane Pakistanis can talk about Pakistan being a safe place anymore. With the Islamic law okayed in the SWAT region and the Northwest Frontier Province being one of the deadliest war zones in the world, no place in Pakistan is safe anymore and the virus is going to spread to the entire nation.
India has bore the maximum brunt of these attacks and considering India's evergrowing population, India has to be more defensive and political in its attitude in dealing with these tough situations because frankly, India is not ready to deal with a full blown war with radical terrorists who have nothing to lose. And 26/11 proved that the border security in India is a big question mark.
It is just unbelievable that Pakistan (for the above reasons), Bangladesh (Bangladesh Rifles causing a bloody mutiny) and Sri Lanka (fighting the longest civil war with LTTE in Asia) are bordering India with so much bloodshed. I really pity India's geographic location in the world map.
General elections are due in April and the second season of IPL is to kickstart in and around the same time. Lalit Modi for all his bravado has announced that the IPL season shall go on in full-swing but for some minor modifications. So much for putting general citizens' and the visiting celebrities and cricketers' lives in peril. Hope last year's bombblasts in Jaipur during the IPL taught him a lesson. But unfortunately, with the money BCCI is expecting to cash in even during the hard times of economic turmoil, a few lives potentially are not worth saving.
I hope some common sense prevails and the elections are conducted smoothly and that there is a new dawn for India this year and the party that wins helps India in becoming an upcoming and respected leader of the world.
