Surely, 26/11 has stirred a feeling of national security and social responsibility among all.But the major question here is - How far are we ready to go for it?To many citizens, 26/11 was like "Rang De Basanti".Just like after watching the movie people remarked - I need to do something for the country.For the next week or two they keep on forwarding pics of the horrifying attack or shout abuses at the politicians.Even that's lost in the next few days.But do we find some one who can come up and take the responsibilities?May be I'm also a person of that particular community.
The thing is that we are taught from a very tender age that we are common man, but the main lesson of being a commoner is actually never taught-the power of a commoner.Today's India is a rejuvenated bunch of young people with a bigger spectrum of vision.I guess it is the perfect time for people like the author, Mr.Shashi Tharoor, Mr.Navin Jindal, Mr.Ramesh Ramanathan can come ahead and lead the generation which has ideas but not direction.
It's for this effort that the media agencies should also come together to give a great mileage to the campaign.Since like most of the young Indians, the media of the country has also come off age and taken up the responsibilities of being Indian.
