...to protect ourselves, our people, our assets, our everything. We were, and still are ill-equipped to deal with any kind of emergency - be it human-inflicted, or nature-inflicted. Instead of criticizing our forces, our law-makers, and our politicians, time has come to introspect - where are we heading to? Unless "we" improve, our destination is chaos. Every single Indian has failed, and miserably so.
Giving more ammunition to police, or "better" vests, or establishing more security-related committees is not going to improve our situation. They are smart, they are well-trained, they are well-equipped, and they are *always* going to be one step ahead of us, unless every single individual decides to improve. Security of a nation depends more on every individual, than on the armed forces. Security is a collective activity, and not something to be had only by adding more ammo. People are the weakest link in security, and will always be so.
Resolve today. Resolve *NOW*. Resolve to IMPROVE as an individual. Educate. Be educated. Question. Keep your over-inflated egos aside. Take action. Be informed. Being informed improves trust. Improved trust helps build a secure nation.
