Call for Retribution......

After the dreadful sexual assault in Delhi, the country is going through yet another shock. The inhumane and brutal killing of two of our countrymen at the Pak Border is not just a simple instance of what is probable at the border. And to top it all, is Haffiz Sayyid's award to the Pak soldier, who was not human enough to leave the corpse in 'one' piece..... This act of aggression and ceasefire violation by Pakistan has undoubtedly angered us all.....
                           In this time of national insecurity, amidst this natural agitation, I do not consider it sane on the part of our politicians to create yet another issue out of it. Unfortunately, our retalliation is limited only to empty debate and discussion. The Indian audience tends to satisfy itself with what their leaders say. So appealing it is, ''vo ek ko maarenge, toh hum 10 maarenge" ;"hum pakistan ko dikha denge ki hum kya kar sakte hain" et al. Mere mouthing of these words is not going to change the situation...
                 As a joke doing the rounds goes:
Responses to a similar assault by other countries....
USA -  " If you attack us, we will attack you."
Iraq - " If you attack us, we will demolish you."
and our response..... 
               " If you attack us, we will not play cricket with you..... 
                                 (though we go ahead and do even that....!!! )
         This does not mean we forget our principles of non-aggression and bombard their land, but at the same time it will be improper on our part to just stay quiet and send a wrong message...
         It's high time we show them their limits and prove what we are actually capable of......
         It's time we stop being content by a flag meeting and actually resort to some affirmative action....!!!!
