I had happened to meet Sabina Sehgal Saikia on a few occasions. I have been wondering what would have happened if people around her had given her confidence and told her to try and escape. Don't know if it would have worked but it definitely would have been what she was good at - aggression. Fear was not her strength.
Terror is knocking at our doorsteps. Public action at this stage is critical for our survival.
The valiant commandos are providing Z security to our countless politicians. What happens to India Inc.? Let's revisit the Z catgory security.
Sensationalising terrorism is what the terrorists want. People need to get rid of their fear of these mindless guntotters. If it means building infrastructure, changing mindsets, manage training, etc., let's get this going.
Does it sound far fetched? Don't know. But we could make an honest attempt.
We may not have discipline but we too have emotions. We may not be the US, but we too value our lives. India has to be resilient. We don't have a choice. But we do have a choice of moulding a better future.
And I begin by believing in my being the change agent.
