Within an hour of the attack on Bombay, we had over 10 police casualties. We say they gave up their lives for us – citizens. No, they did not give their lives for us. They lost their lives due to lack of information, lack of intelligence, lack of preparedness and lack of infrastructure.
We lost them to politicians. We lost them to our bureaucracy. We lost them due to outdated protection equipment.
“Martyr” this time is a term to hide ineffectiveness and callousness. A term that raises the dead in our eyes and hides the reasons and causes of their death.
We don’t need martyrs. We need the heroes alive and serving.
