Protecting our people

We should care for our people. In comity of nations, our status does not depend on eulogistic speeches, it depends on how we protect our citizens.Not protecting our fishermen in our coastal areas has caused a big blow to us. Just as farmers need protection from foreign powers to carry on cultivation(in our borders) our coastal fishermen need protection which our coast guards can give. GPS monitoring of fishing vessels is urgently needed. Our fishermen need SMS alerts to warn them of dangers. If this is not done, then Indian people will remain vulnerable. When our coastal  people are killed by a foreign navy, it is meant to provoke us.We cannot go on tolerating this sort of provocation.We are being attacked and we are not even aware of that.

Our media can go on blabbering about who said what about whom. But media cannot write about the state of our fishermen. So there is no one to pay for the news about missing fishermen. We become aware of the biggest blunders long after they were committed. We can read about them as history. Do we know 'what the does the foreign media think of India?' Why were two murderers of fishermen treated like heroes while they escaped court trails in India?

Government has now become aware that our people matter.India matters.Government was totally engaged in making itself successful for next elections. And cause of protection of our citizens was absent in their agenda.This is a sad state of affairs.But Italians do not take us seriously. Our envoy in foreign capitals should keep informing us about our image there.They have failed in their duty.
The identity of India must be guarded. Ethnic origin is retained even after generations of Indians had migrated  and had settled in foreign lands. We must care for people of Indian origin, because they are still known as Indians.These are simple truths which matter.
