26/11 is one incident last year which stunned the whole nation. The first anniversary of this incident just passed by. Like the rest of us I have similar doubts whether we people in India are any safer now. Will it be status quo as people seem resigned to their fate until the next terror attack or will there be a welcome change in the way our security agencies and the politicians work towards the security of the common man. So many questions and so few answers.
However as I watched the television programs marking the 26/11 anniversary, one thing was clear. There will be no dearth of brave heart officers who despite the shortage of ammunition, faulty equipment & lack of response from the control room took the terrorists head on and paid with their lives. Also credit to those people who were injured in the attack but still carry on despite losing a limb or being disabled. As for those who lost their lives one can only pray that may their soul rest in peace and their dependents (its really hard) to be courageous and be positive.
