While the USA successfully operated a “Geronimo” in the heartland of Pakistan to eliminate the world's most wanted terrorist Osama bin Laden, then why it is reluctant to extend support to India to do the same for Dawood and other terrorists those are being sheltered in Pakistan? Many would brush Washington's stand a double standard, but they are terribly wrong in doing so. The primary reason as to why the USA is unwilling to support India is the deficit of trust. Sounds out of place? Maybe. But the fact of the matter is that the USA clearly knows even though it holds up extraditing these terrorists, the politicians of India would divide extremely highly on some false notions, which maybe due to their vested interests, and let these terrorists either unpunished or again let them go. And this will not impact India because it has already drawn that sorry picture in international forums, but at the same time it could be a huge disgrace to the America's image.
Even after 18 years of Mumbai blasts why Dawood hasn't been brought to justice is not the problem of America or Pakistan. The problem lies with us. Our politicians and law and order enforcement personnel in tandem have created this deplorable situation. The cocktail of corruption and crime in politics and bureaucracy has been dangerously spurious. Even there are some honest police officers who have discharged their duties with extreme integrity to punish the terrorists, at the same time certain politicians have helped these terrorists to escape from this country to a safe haven in Pakistan or somewhere inside our country. Why our politicians don't arrive at a consensus at least for national issues like terrorism? Why do they have a different party position for the same grave issues? Isn't it our double standard? However, in America when it comes to national issues everybody is united and everyone talks the same language. Will it be possible in India?
Before blaming America or Pakistan for whatever reason, let's transform ourselves and endeavour to unlearn those dirty lessons in politics those were being used by feudalistic societies in the medieval India. India is a republic, not an aggregation of small provinces where each emperor has a different notion on a subject that has tremendous national importance. What are our national characteristics? India can't grow along with the divisive politics. We must understand and acknowledge that in all developed countries issues like national security are dealt with extreme political convergence. There is no scope for regional agenda or individual ideologue. So long as we live on the trivia of political differences, we won't be able to bring even a petty criminal to justice, forget about Dawood or other most wanted international terrorists.
