It was one of the placards seen in the protest in aftermath of 26/11 attacks. It’s been a year since that unfortunate day. A day surely ‘we Indians will never forget’ who lost their lives and forgive those who converted our peace loving country into a war zone. They attacked Mumbai because it is city of dreams but today we see even bigger dreams and are fulfilling them all. They could not even break our heritage buildings how they can break our country. In these days we have surely failed those hate mongers. Who wanted to spread hate in our country by uniting and giving love to each other. We have again proved to world that in spite of everything we can defeat hate with love. We could have done what America had done in Iraq and Afghanistan but fought the war with patience. Defeated our enemy, and once again emerged from this dark chapter stronger as a nation. Today world have finally acknowledged what we have been saying for ages. That Pakistan is a state sponsoring terrorism.
All of our lives have also changed. For me this day catapulted me straight into adulthood even before I turned 18 few months later. I feel the sense of responsibility I have as a citizen and as student towards my great nation. As a college student I have never bunked a class and have only missed a few classes due to sickness. Whenever I think of bunking a class I think of that girl who was criticising politicians. She said that she is a student and would bunk a class but a politician would not miss a session in Parliament (just) because he is a politician. Both are not doing their respective duties. Therefore I think if we are not doing our own duties then we cannot blame a politician. In a country of 1.2 billion people all the mistakes cannot be done by few bunches of politicians. And no occasion is better to understand that than this 26/11. We all have responsibilities and duties towards our nation. And it does not require to a PM to change a nation. We all are a power in our own right. We could all do our bid to change our country. Yes we can.
When my grandparents gave my parents the priceless gift of freedom then he also gave him some responsibility. Now when the same gift has been given to me then I surely have those responsibilities if not more. To preserve that freedom and pass in on to the coming generation.
We have to believe in our democracy and change our country in constructive manner. We don’t just have to vote but have to vote intelligently. Perhaps this time that’s why we brought in change in our state.
This year also marks the sixtieth anniversary of approval of constitution. So we have to decide how to spend this year. This 26/11 is etched into history already. Now we have to decide that this date should be remembered as the date which not only made India but it made India stronger and what our forefathers dreamed of. Yes we can.
can.
