Sitting outside home I look at the news of tragedies and blasts in India with a different perspective. Somehow being faced with these kind of incidents everyday had made me immune to them. Now that I am detached and can only read about these incidents on online newspaper reports, these incidents touch me in a different way.
Since July this year almost every week or 10 days there have been incidents of serial blasts. Initially we used to associate terrorism with Punjab or Kashmir with sporadic incidents in the rest of the country but off late no part of the nation seems to safe or peaceful. We are being attacked with impunity anytime, anywhere.
This time we have a homegrown group to blame for these acts and no foreign powers. What despairs me is the absolute helplessness we are faced with with respect to these acts. The government seems absolute powerless in ensuring security and peace.
On the International Non Violence Day we are forced to accept that we are inherently a violent race.
