Change we need : Governance and National Security

Dear reader this article is only in context of Governance and National Security. Thus the contents are subjective.
Governance:
Aftermath of the terror attacks of last month have given away enough loopholes in security and intelleigence angencies' work practises. Heads of Shivraj Patil, R.R.Patil and Vilasrao Deshmukh have rolled. Many have admitted ignorance and lapses in security procedures.
I think union home minister resigned for wrong reasons. The man never looked intelligent and proved it everytime he opened his mouth (or sometimes not!).
His interview on devils advocate was broadcasted a few days before the attack. He could not clearly say that road link between J&K and rest of India will never be closed!
The astonishment was in the fact that he actually allowed to close this road? If we have a troubled region where people are trying to earn a honest living by selling their produce
and we dont want to open the road! He should have been fired there and then. Vilasrao Deshmukh was just there waiting to be fired. R.R.Patil is a humble man working for common Indians! But do we need a humble man in the post of home minister of state? I remember once H.D.Devegouda said that he is a humble farmer!
Well we dont need humble farmers and common men ruling the country or state. We need visionaries who have seen the world, who are not just nice and pleasent looking but also has shrewedness of anticipating and making the change!
All these leaders have resigned! But were they trained in any specific way to tackle intelligence information? or some military training! Noooo! They are leaders who, in theory, represent the country.
Main job is of our intelligence agencies, our defence forces. These are professionals and they did not do their job correctly and we are firing politicians! Why dont I see resignations and court marshals for the security forces! Why we get only appologies from them. Why do we need a police constable with a 303 rifle who is defending the nation against terrorism! While it was the duty of defence forces! This can be avoided by having a appropriate National Security measures and foreign policies.
National security:
1. The politicians during peace times really need to think about what went wrong! Get some professional training on managing crisis.
2. For J&K and North East India we really need to make use of moderne telecom technology in order to make more remote survailance. House to house search will only bring more oppression of innocent people
for a handfull of terrorists.
3. For the sea/air strikes we hope they will learn the lessons now and be better prepared.
4. Policeman needs to be more than a common man. It is evident that they stored a bomb in the store room for railways without checking the baggage? They need to be more professional. But it is not a police man's fault. They dont get training of what is expected of them, then they cannot perform as they should.
5. we need to make sure that Pakistan is growing along with us. For that matter Nepal,Bangladesh and Sri Lanka should also be prosporous. The poverty and lack of future brings people to take it to the extremeties. They are again making an attempt to democracy but it is not going to work if they don't get support form their neighbours. This is something I think Israel has lacked while dealing with Palestine and to an extent with Lebanon.
6. Last but not least, I think we should build a wall over the borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh. I know it is a huge distance to cover and also hilly terrain of Himalayas. But I tend to think that this will generate a lot of work for Indians which in turn will also boost the economy. Also looking at the wall built by Israel on west bank, there has been to NO terror attack on Israel from that side. Gaza on the other hand still posses threat but it is not as great. For India, it will stop infilteration of terrorists and also save lives of Indian soldiers and costs.

This does not mean that we can eliminate terrorism on India but surely she will be better off !

Thanks for stopping by!
