Hamara Bharath Mahan (!?!)

Disclaimer: Firstly this is personal opinion, I just thought it's high time we spent some time in retrospection on the current state of affairs in India. Bharath here implies INDIA ;)
On a serious note, whats happening in India? Secular India... We are the engineers of our country, but how is the knowledge put into use, making bombs using ammonium nitrate, hacking into accnts and sending mails, sending mails from fake accounts. Shame on us. We see movies like rang de basanti... we see the news with blood splattered bodies lying around crying for help, we VOW to bring about change in our country, we talk ILL about our politicians, frankly what else do we do? n yes we write essays on our vision for INDIA... even if it's purely for the credit;).
Extremism exists in all religions. Tolerance has gone down too low. Atrocities against christians, recent ones being in Orissa, has been on the rise. The hindu-muslim riots can be traced back to our independence. We blame Jinnah and Pakistanies blame Ghandiji/Nehru.
The recent bomb blasts in Delhi with IM claiming responsibility for it is THE final straw. The most depressing fact is that these terror attacks have their origin from Indian soil, the devil is within our country itself. B'lore,Hyderabad, Jaipur and now Delhi. Mumbai and karnataka on red alert... frankly is it time to declare emergency rule here? like during the time of Indira Gandhi, clean up the dirty politics and bring the terrorists to court.
