Few unanswered questions

India, for the past few months have been under terrorist attack. Our security has gone from bad to worse. People are unable to live peacefully not knowing what will happen and when will happen. However, the recent Mumbai attack have brought people together and now they have started raising their voice against the politicians, whom they elected few years ago. Heads started rolling and government under pressure have taken action by sacking inefficient Union Home Minister, Maharashtra Chief Minister and Maharashtra Home Minister. Citizens marched towards various land marks in various cities to show their solidarity and their anger towards politicians. I even saw bollywood actors joining the people in their protest. Few questions keep coming in people's mind.

1. What is the solution for this?
2. Who can save us from the terrorists?

Everyone in the news channel have started talking about the holes in Indian political system. But is it possible after 60 years to change the system. Certainly not. So what could be done? Politicians are corrupted to the core, so as policemen and other officials. Unlike cinema, it is not possible for a common man to fight against these politicians. What started like a revolution, Lok Paritran is no where now. Infact very few knew about its existence. That is the situation in India. Everytime something happens, political game starts and finally India will say that it has proof of Pakistan's hand in attack and as usual Pakistan will reject it. This has been the situation for the past few months.

So when it is not possible to change the system and also not possible to fight against these politicians, what can be done to protect ourselves from these terrorists?

I hope there are few people in politics who care for others and the country who can bail us out from this situation.
