How many more such blasts?

The picture of bodies lying scattered here and there is not new to any NEWS channel in India because we are probably the worst terrorism affected countries in the world. Terrorists can walk into anything and anywhere and plant a bomb which will go off killing scores. The NEWS channels, the government and we the people would mourn for the dead for a few days and then forget everything and move on as if nothing happened only to see the same thing again in a few days.

The below photograph is one such blast from Uttar Pradesh. All that we could see in all the NEWS channels were dying people and agony all around. The State government has the Central government and the Intelligence agencies to blame and the vice versa. But what about the people who died and who were injured, some injured to such an extent that they would be handicapped for life. What is it that they get, a compensation of Rs.50,000 from the state government. Is that enough?

We have always been crying that other powerful countries are not supporting our cause to fight terrorism, but what is it that we have done to curb it except for providing more means of infiltration from across the border. When will we come out of this self-built safety circle called diplomacy.

How many more such blasts will we see? Bleed my country till you can.
