I came here from ZAK’s blog. I do...Dear Sidhusaaheb<br />I came here from ZAK’s blog. I don’t know what to say. As the days pass i get more and more confused. At first I went cold with anger when that buffoon Antulay talked about Karkare’s death. Now I am completely at sea. Nothing is as it seems. hmm! <br /><br />good article though!<br />sarah islam | Homepage | 12.22.08 – 12:41 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />Dear sir,<br /><br />Thank you for the excellent observation and analysis. <br /><br />Many of these issues were covered up in the name of nationalism, patriotism. At the political level too these issues were forcefully covered up by threatening ‘politicizing of terror’! Some of our parliamentarians were so thoughtful that, they wanted the death of Karkare investigated and not how and why our intelligence agencies and security agencies failed. Still there is no investigation about why the administration and the people responsible failed to respond in time.<br /><br />Please do not stop the good work you have done. <br /><br />Thanks.<br />refactorindia | Homepage | 12.26.08 – 8:41 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />Hi there, I confess to only skimming your article but thank you for doing hard work for people who can save themselves a lot of time by reading your blog to better understand how to save India, if that is your desire. till then.<br />pp<br />pp | 12.29.08 – 1:52 am | #Sidhusaahebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08428201823375343016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30556104.post-9495924468355650552010-01-22T17:01:13.154+05:302010-01-22T17:01:13.154+05:30Dear Sir,
This was indeed very, very well researc...Dear Sir,<br /><br />This was indeed very, very well researched, and very well written, of course, so I congratulate you. Took me a while to go through the entire post, there was a lot of data. <br /><br />I am very glad that you pointed out that the NSG operation was Nariman was a HUGE failure, I’ve been saying the same thing, to some upturned noses. But, did you know that they were shunted in a BEST bus from the airport to the hotels? Surely, the CM (who flew in his private chooper from Kerala) could have done better? or for that matter, any of these stuffy shits we trust our lives with? NSG is supposed to be a rapid acting force, for f***’s sake!<br /><br />Its all so familiar — it takes a huge kick in the arse to wake up, scramble, and do things like they should be done. And I nearly laugh when people hold candle-light vigils and slogan shouting rallies. What good is it doing to anyone anyway? <br /><br />It’s the call of arms, my friend.<br />shubir | 12.04.08 – 8:47 am | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />After a week of “Enough is Enough” ATS found RDX at VTS!!!!<br />Biplab | 12.04.08 – 1:16 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />Sidhu, good analysis but I wish for once we would get some definitive answers.<br />Mridula | Homepage | 12.07.08 – 8:42 am | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />Hmm.. that was a long informative post..I tend to agree with most of the things you wrote.

Very detailed and lucid. I have read other analyses (albeit hurried kinds)on the net. But none suggests solution. What do you think, as a comman citizen of India, I can do in the wake of these details? Shall we retort by refusing to pay taxes, by shunning government services? We would appreciate another post on that, what is your take on the issue??<br />MP | Homepage | 12.03.08 – 6:22 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />@MP: As a common citizen, you could do a lot, in accordance with the time, effort and other resources that you have available with you and are willing and able to make use of.<br /><br />The tools that are at your disposal, just like any other citizen’s, include the right to vote; the right to seek information from the government and its various agencies under the Right to Information Act; the right to raise your voice in protest in a peaceful manner, or to write about issues of concern on your blog or to express yourself through other such media, as and when you find appropriate, since the constitution of India guarantees you a fundamental right to freedom of speech and expression. Additionally, there is the possibility of taking recourse to litigation, including public interest litigation (PIL).<br /><br />Those are some of the legitimate means that I am aware of.<br /><br />In addition to that, one can try to not hate in return, when hated by others, even when it is simply for picking up the courage to speak or write the truth.<br />Sidhusaaheb | Homepage | 12.03.08 – 7:11 pm | #Sidhusaahebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08428201823375343016noreply@blogger.com
