Events in Assam
had its repercussion in Mumbai and little later in Bangalore ,
Chennai, Pune and Hyderabad ; with
mass exodus of students & workers from North East. As reported in the
media; there was threat to life and property of people of North East from some
unknown extremist forces largely spread through social media and internet
tools. Biggest tragedy was none of our
intelligence forces could get a wind of such an act. This is one of the biggest
failure of intelligence after 26/11 and most dangerous among all; as it pose
direct challenge to our Nation hood, its unity and integrity. What ever
happens; Govt. should and must go after the perpetrators behind the act and
annihilate them silently. The important message & learning from the
incident are: there are some known & unknown adversaries of our country who
work in land, air and in the seas round the clock and 24x7 and more
importantly, below the surface there are deep fault lines in our society and
between various regions of our country; this is some thing which is not unknown
to politicians and administrators. Frightening thing is this fault line is
deepening with growing economic disparity and social inequality which could
pose serious challenge to our security and economic prosperity. What is the
solution? The solution lies in Political Unity at the highest level on
important National issues and a firm resolves by all concerned, not to
politicize sensitive matters for short term political gains. Further, it is
imperative to work systematically to bury the fault lines sooner than later.
Both Govt. at the centre and States could encourage social dialogue among
regions, religions, communities and languages. This social interaction, over a
period of time would certainly fortify inter & intra community relations
despite the disparity and inequality. Eventually, it is for the Govt. to
unleash sustained and equitable development of the country through good
Governance to eliminate the fault line for good.
