Agni V test fired successfully today and it has the capacity to travel 5000 kms and hit a target- it is a strong message to China that India too has the capabilities of hitting back militarily, if attacked? Now, the situation is that India never went to a war after 1971 with Pakistan. The Kargil war is rumoured to be doctored to favour a few and there is a belief that it was a war that never was!!
I am sitting in Chennai, capital of Tamilnadu in India reeling under severe power shortage with power cuts that is happening like a relay race across the city that lasts for 2 hours making life difficult for any business or office to run! The common man is frustrated and feels let down in the state and is in no mood to appreciate the success of the launch of Agni V. Today's newspapers report that China is not paying any importance to this feat achieved by India and has dismissed threat to their country through Agni V missile which is capable of carrying more than a ton of nuclear war head? Probably they very well understand the military dynamics that operate in India given the current state of Defence affairs and the shortage of ammunition and spares that are required to keep the equipments ready to meet the challenges of war! By taking care of the political class, China may stay assured that even if the Missile is fired,it may not cross the boundaries of India itself!!??
The evening news flashed abduction of a collector in the state of Chattisgarh in central India by the Maoists who are creating havoc for the government which is in despair trying to figure out ways to tackle this internal menace which poses a big time challenge to the government and the Home Ministry. The rise of Naxalism or Maoism is due to neglect and lack of economic development and providing employment to the youth of the states despite having got independence in 1947 itself? The central government is all out to develop only the capital in New Delhi and does not think about the other states in the country and has been neglecting since the past 65 years of independence!
The bank rates for loans have become cheaper while the prices of essential commodities that are consumed daily by people are hitting the roof making it difficult for people to live? At this juncture, firing and testing Agni V missile seems to be a waste of resources and money which could be used in a better way to bring up the living standards of people.
Agni(fire) is not in the missile but in the hearts of common people who are finding it difficult to even smile at least once in a week!!
