Two cities under attack, will India reply?

This is serious!
Lets' vow not to forget the last two days. This no reality show that we are entertained with, nor are the victims and their wounds that are being aired live meant for TRPs. This is for real, if India was ever reeling under a need for definitive long-lasting action, its' now. For all the words that will be poured on this issue, I am shamefully adding mine, but in my case, I've an action plan.

1. Spend one hour daily surfing the internet for terrorist sites and newsboards. There is no doubt those behind the blasts are using the WWW for coordination. A billion eyes can surely catch them in the act.

2. Serious censorship is required on people like Mayawati, who try to communalize things like the Nuclear Deal! Senseless acts are causing India grave harm.
3. In-tolerance exhibited by Gujarat needs toning down, maybe its' time India learns its' religion management well.

4. Bring in watch-dogs for religious schools - dharmashalas, madrasas, convents et al. There needs to be a strong move to either ban them completely, or to bring them under tight scrutiny. Its' mindless to allow Education to be mixed with religion, especially charities.

5. Media should simply start ignoring these events. The only thing sought by the perpetrators is publicity, panic and fear. The media is giving them exactly these on the platter.

6. Restrain politicians from linking these events to politics. It started within an hour, with Mr. Advani asking for bringing back POTA. No act has ever been misused than POTA. it deserves to be abolished, and Mr. Advani should do some explaining what actions his' party's state-govts took when the intelligence about attacks was given to them.

7. Forget #6. That's impossible, I think the people of this country have to take upon themselves to rid the country of this menace.

8. Trace IPs, Ball-bearing sales, gelatin sales, cycle sales. Every citizen should note who in his neighbourhood has which vehicle, and who comes back without his vehicle after blasts. The nation needs to take responsibility.

9. If there are ghettos where the perpetrators live, then the entire ghetto is a culprit. All neighbours should be charged with crimes against humanity, and atleast lose their dignity, if not serve term or fine.

10. Lets' spread the word about the beautiful country, society, community we are all part of, lets' make hatred an endangered species.
