One Ugly Duckling

It is no time to rejoice .Despite the ‘guilty be hanged to death’-verdict prounced today in a Mumbai court,the road of Justice is not a dead-end to criminals in our highly ‘open’-society.
It is not a matter of regret either that the sacrifice made by martyred policemen on 26/11 of 2008 has borne result in declaring to the outside world that the stem of anti-Indian sentiments is deeply rooted in conspiracies hatched, one after another , in the neighbouring land that once was a part of the umbilical-cord of Indian sub-continent .
It is not a mere coincidence either that the car-bomb planter of Times Square[New York] the other day was fleeing back to this very land from USA via the middle-eastern route.
It is a testimony of the times we live in that whereas the oldest democracy of the world had the administrative and intelligence to escort back the aeroplane in which the terrorist was fleeing the land of dreams,the largest democracy of the world offered all privileged facilities including that of an open trial to the captive-terrorist throwing open the fair process of democracy to one who was out to destabilize it .
It is time to ponder whether we remain a vulnerable third-world country who seems to be deluded by a very fragile constitutional establishment or do we require to assert that Nationalism has to be injected back into the administrative process in order to rub shoulders with truly advanced nation like the USA.
It is a shame that we had to suffer the ignominy of the mass media splashing the face of the terrorist across the nation as if he were a war-hero [and stay put as helpless sitting,lame ducks] but it certainly is a matter of pride that the frail walls of justice have not permitted a travesty of justice - the anti-national element ought to be blacked out of our minds and the fluttering National Flag of INDIA ought to be visible in all news reports covering this date and verdict .
Jai Hind.
