Indians Die.......But Who Cares???????

He took his last breaths in Pakistani hospital and spent last years of his life in Pakistani Jail. Sarabjit Singh, an Indian citizen who was falsely convicted of terrorism decades back. It was his fault that he lost his way and stepped on to Pakistani territory by mistake and that one single mistake changed his identity and subsequently entire course of his life including his family. He was just an Indian and nothing else, staying in a small village near Wagah border. It was his fault that he was not a big shot but just another citizen. It was his fault that he took a wrong walk!.. who cares if he suffered the punishment of a crime he never committed, Do u?

In India, no government cares who dies where and why. Everyday somewhere or the other, someone dies and pays a price of just being an ordinary citizen. he is a convict of being an Indian, a citizen of a country where dying is a regular affair, who cares?? The Anesthesia in our Government's circulatory system is so strong that it nullifies the emotions and does not give them a shock to see all this. The only one who can be shocked is Sarabjit's family, his two young daughters and his elder sister who fought for him till his last breath. Today on this Unfortunate Day, I feel more terrorized by the reaction of our Government than a terrorist attack cooked up by Pakistan. Home Minister visited his family today to console them on their loss. It seems they are so good at paying visits and then few days later nothing happens. All the consolation & promises just evaporate with a new sun in the sky. And then few days later someone else dies and leaves his history to become a breaking news on our news channels....

What is wrong with this country? Why is it that we are not able to give our citizens which our great leaders had promised us when we won our freedom. Gandhi ji taught us Non-violence but not 'Unjustified Silence' by our Government. Why don't they just act rather than paying visits and not taking an effective action. You know Mr. Prime Minister, by not taking appropriate actions at the right time we are delivering a message to those who are eyeing to take an advantage of the situation. And a recent example we know, China is invading in our lands in Ladakh!!......Are we not alarmed?? By acting so lethargic, are we not sending a message across the borders that we are too lazy to protect the dignity and integrity of this country!! This is HIGH time that our Government needs to wake up and introspect to find out the answer which every citizen is going to ask- Are we safe in this country?  Otherwise, everyday there will be a news of another road constructed by Chinese army in Indian territory and another Sarabjit killed by Pakistani Government..Do You Care??
