Bhopal Gas Tragedy ‘struck or (made) happened in 1984’, and the people of India, including the numerous central & state governments, have continuously been fighting for JUSTICE FOR THE DEAD – A very simple number of 25000+ Only! - & THE LIVING (LIVING DEAD?!)! After more than a quarter of a century, the case has ‘come to a naught’ (KNOT!?) & Our Great Investigators are still finding (even after quarter of a century!!!) thousands of ‘skeletons in the cupboards’ of thousands of people, ‘who were not even born at the time of the MAN-MADE DISASTER’!
Peruman Rail Disaster struck more than 20 years back taking scores of lives & the expert investigating team found out that it was all due to a Tornado, which came from nowhere & disappeared ( USING A SPACE SHIP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT!) just after the business it came to do! The investigation report is NOW USED AS A TEXT BOOK IN SCOTLAND YARD, AS ‘A GREAT EXAMPLE OF HOW STUPID AN INVESTIGATION CAN BECOME’ ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!
Kashmir problem was created when Jawaharlal Nehru declared a unilateral ceasefire in the United Nations before taking back the usurped Indian Territory from our good old neighbour, Pakistan! Since then Indians have regularly been sacrificing their lives in & on Kashmir.....! A large number of investigations – READ ANALYSES!- have been spent into the ‘UNDERSTANDING OF THE KASHMIR ISSUE’ ALL THESE YEARS, all of them presenting with myriads of options! And, compensations are regularly sent to the victims of the ‘Kashmir Cause’!
Bombay Blasts of 1990s happened with scores of casualty & the loss of crores of rupees. There came Our Dear Great Investigators Of Yore & started their all-involved-all-finding mission of investigation! THEY FOUND OUT SOME THOUSANDS OF ‘VERY RELEVANT POINTS OF INFORMATION’ WHICH WERE ‘OF NO USE’! All the lost lives were never given back & THE LOST & DEAD REMAINED THE LOST & DEAD, TILL DATE!
Scores of Indians were lost in the Pak-Initiated & Promoted Kargil War. To find out the REASONS OF KARGIL, a lot of analysts & investigators have been SPENT! They got their own answers & reports & they even submitted them before the SO & SOs of the SO & SOs and OTHER SO & SOs! As a ceremony, compensations were sent to ....................(READ INNUMERABLE VICTIMS & MARTYRS!) & GROUPS OF INVESTIGATORS & ANALYSTS WERE KEPT READY FOR ANY FURTHER EVENTUALITY, 24x7!
The Indian Parliament attack was done ceremoniously by some good-intended people (From the Pak View Point!), and India lost a couple of people here as well! The investigators arrived on the scene after all the damage is done & declared that the attack was due to the negligence from the authorities, who ceremoniously & carelessly treated the warning signals (As has been happening from time immemorial in India, where all the warnings are thrown into the waste bin the very next second they are submitted and where the warning reports & warning signals are submitted or given ONLY to be thrown into the waste basket!) sent by the various intelligence agencies -who all did this stupid thing of ignoring security agency warnings, when exactly these warning reports were sent, who all are responsible for the security lapse etc are ceremoniously never told & were totally forgotten!- & the carelessness shown (BY WHOM? Is Never Mentioned!)!
Mumbai Attack (26/11) was well planned & well executed by the Pakistan-Based Forces, while India was caught off-guard once again and India lost around 200 of its precious human beings. Again the investigators appeared from nowhere & started the blame game, as usual. They pointed out what could have happened & what should have done to prevent what had already happened and what all misses & mistakes had been committed that this scale of a tragedy occurred etc! Sharp Analyses & Investigations (And of course, with the extremely valuable recommendations, suggestions etc) were done and the tragedy was swept under the carpet!
Around 50 people died @ Thekkady when the boat they travelled in the Periyar River capsized last year & the people who should have kept the life of those who come there for site-seeing & boat journey safe failed to do so & as they have done a million times DELIBERATELY FORGOT what at the least to be done to safeguard the human beings in the THEKKADY ATMOSPHERE! Swarms of Investigators landed there after the tragedy struck & found out numberless reasons from the Colour of the Water in Thekkady to the Design of the Shirt the boat driver worn on the fateful day!
Andhra Chief Minister died last year in an air plane crash of which a number of INVESTIGATIONS & ANALYSES WERE MADE! And, hundreds of reports were made qualitatively! The investigators found this, that and a million other things for the tragedy in which Andra Pradesh lost one of its greatest leaders. The great investigators also suggested some great & exquisitely intelligent measures by which ‘ANYBODY INTERESTED’ CAN SAVE ANOTHER CHIEF MINISTER ‘NEXT TIME’!
Then happened the Mangalore Aircraft Tragedy, which made all on board the ill-fated flight casualties....scores died in this tragedy too..... Sheer negligence from the authority’s side, shortness of the runway, fatal errors from the pilots & a million things were dug out by Our Dear Investigators who arrived after the tragedy! But, as usual, the Term ‘Authorities’ remained Undefined & Unnamed and the dead pilots never spoke in defense! (And the Investigators took the very next flight after their THREAD BARE ANALYSIS!)
Carlton Towers in Bangalore followed all these tragedies with great enthusiasm & there too a number of innocent persons lost their lives due to sheer negligence from the authority’s side, building owner’s side & most importantly FROM THE SIDE OF THE FIRE FIGHTERS, WHO ‘SUPPOSEDLY CAME THERE TO RESCUE’ THE PEOPLE TRAPPED IN THE FIRE-LIT, BURNING BUILDING! HERE TOO ‘THE SINFULLY NEGLIGENT AUTHORITIES & FIRE FIGHTERS REMAINED FACELESS & IDENTITYLESS & EVEN FIGURELESS’! Of course, Our Dear Investigators were there to find out who all erred & what could have been if that could have been THIS & this could have been THAT!
In India, Investigation (OR Scientific Analysis Of Any Disaster Happened!) means ‘thinking about what would have been & what would not have been after a tragedy where losses are severe & disastrous’..................where "WHAT IS TO BE" IS ALWAYS THE CASUALITY! In India, everything is fine & under perfect control till the moment something happens severely disastrous; and 'these somethings' happen quite often & quite effortlessly that India has become A MUCH HAPPENING PLACE!
It is very pathetic to know that even after more than 62 years of independence India & Indians have FAILED MISERABLY TO LEARN such simple things as “Prevention is better than cure”, “A stitch in time saves nine!” etc! Any potentially problematic situation in India is always 'under consideration & analysis' when it is of common men & these "under consideration' can go on for ever & ever till eternity! And, Indians always like to learn things ONLY BY GOING THROUGH TRAGEDIES, SUFFERING LIKE ANYTHING & LOSING THINGS WHICH CAN NEVER BE COMPENSATED! It is also interesting to know that this learning lasts only for a couple of moments that THEY CAN LEARN THE SAME THING AGAIN BY GOING THROUGH ALL THE TRAGIC THINGS THEY HAVE ALREADY GONE THROUGH A MILLION TIMES, AGAIN!
It is really great of all the Indians that they are very thankful IF THEY GET SORRIES FOR THE DEAD - THEY ARE VERY PROFICIENT IN THIS KIND OF EXCHANGE! - as they know pretty well that ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DEAD & LOST ARE COMPENSATED BY ‘GIVING BACK THEIR LOST LIVES’& INDIANS HAVE 9 LIVES! But the only things they ardently insist on are Investigators & Investigations after every disaster! Who thinks there are no investigators in 105 crores of Indians, who can find out a million reasons for any type of tragedy?!

THE GODS OF THEIR OWN COUNTRY!
The tragedy occurred in Thekkady, Kerala, in which 45 tourists lost their lives has been be- mourned by thousands all over India. A hasty enquiry into the incident has been initiated. News papers printed out whatever they considered right; news channels made it a sort of celebration. The official version, as always lacking in quality & clarity, tried to blame the tragedy on a couple of people and washed their hands as usual. The people lost their lives never uttered a word of complaint & they never said HOW HAPPY THEY WERE WHEN THE TRAGEDY TOOK THIER SOULS!
The inefficiency of the driver of the boat, the improper design & construction of the ill fated boat, the inefficiency & neglect from the part of the forest guard on the boarding point, the senselessness of the tourists who moved swiftly onto a side of the ill fated boat when they sighted a herd of elephants & a million other THEORIES OF PROBABILITY were circulated & discussed day and night. The person who gave the fitness certificate to the boat came again to inspect the boat after the tragedy & gave it another fitness certificate of perfection. The farce continued with at the least the people of Kerala watching with bated breath.
What people forget is that THE TRAGEDY WAS WAITING TO HAPPEN IN THEKKADY, all these years! And, SUCH TRAGEDIES ARE WAITING TO HAPPEN IN MOST OF THE TOURIST SPOTS IN KERALA! And, people forget this fact too that it is the SHEER LUCK OF THE TOURISTS WHICH SAVE THEIR LIVES DAY IN & DAY OUT IN MOST OF THE TOURIST SPOTS OF KERALA!
When KNOWLEDGE, EFFICIENCY, DEDICATION, STRICT COMPLIANCE TO THE SAFETY STANDARDS & MEASURES, PROPER IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RULES & REGULATIONS, STRICT ADHERENCE TO THE RULES & REGULATIONS & PROPER GUIDANCE have to be the corner stones of ANY QUALITY TOURIST FACILITY OR SPOT , excluding these very things, one will find everything else in OUR GOD’S OWN COUNTRY, KERALA!
When Thattekkad (in Kerala) Boat Tragedy mitigated 18 innocent lives of hapless school children, there too we had enquiry missions & fault finders galore! But, none could give back the precious lives lost. Instead, we got another number of enquiry & inquiry reports. There too we had culprits & irresponsible people in large numbers. But, in a month or so all that happened in Thattekkad was completely forgotten and ALL PATIENTLY WAITED FOR ANOTHER TRAGEDY TO HAPPEN, DUE TO INEFFECIENCY, TILL THEKKADY HAPPENED!
When tourists go for boating all they expect & wish for is enjoyment with 100% safety to their being. But, what is offered is 100% enjoyment without any guarantee provided for one’s safety or life! IN THE TOURIST SPOTS/PLACES OF GOD’S OWN COUNTRY KERALA, THE OFFICIALS ARE THE GODS! What they do or utter is the ULTIMATE TRUTH & WISDOM; the rest is rubbish! In the category of officials, all from the sweeper to the manager are included! When a driver of a tourist department cab (carrying tourists to Rajamala-Munnar) & his chamchas think it is not worthy to stop where there is a water fall, as he is busy to finish the trip as early as possible that he can go to the cinema with his girl friend, he will stop the cab due to the pressure from the passengers -read tourists- for a second or to & then THREATENING THAT HEAVEY BOULDOURS WILL FALL FROM THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN (ANAMALAI) start the cab & leave the place immediately, making the tourists sitting idiots!
When the tourists in the Silent Valley National Park, Palakkad, Kerala start to enjoy the wonderful beauty of the setting sun from the top of the Watch-Tower (Around 5 in the evening!), FROM THE HEAVENS THE GOD - the driver of the forest department vehicle or the qualified guide provided ( the sweeper or a rubber tapper provided from the OFFICE OF THE GODS at the starting point ) from the starting point – for which we have to pay 150/- bucks - THUNDERS THAT it is time to go back as at 7pm we have to be at the staring point as the GUARD GOD at the entry point (1hour downward from the watch-tower) has to run an errand for his drunken friend! In most of the days, at the OFFICE OF THE GODS, the GODS will be busy with MAKING THEMSELVES BUSY THAT NOTHING WORK PROPERLY! WE OFTEN SEE THE GODS MOVING HERE & THERE LIKE LIGHTNING INSIDE THE OFFICE OF THE GODS & ORDINARY MORTALS WAITING THE GODS TO HAVE A PASS TO ENTER THE PARADISE WITH AN AUTHORISED & AUTHORITATIVE GUIDE, WHO IS THE WISDOM PERSONIFIED!
At Parambikulam, Sholayar, Athirappilli & Vazhachal Water Falls and a lot of other tourist spots TOURISTS GO TO ENJOY AT THEIR OWN RISK & PERIL! In most of the tourist places in Kerala, THE SECURITY & SAFETY OF THE TOURIST IS THE LEAST CONSIDERED FACTOR! Everywhere THE TOURIST AUTHORITY GODS (officials = the sweeper to the manager) KEEP DOING WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING ALL THESE YEARS......THAT IS DOING NOTHING! When something tragic happens, THE GODS ENGAGE THEMSELVES IN THE GAME OF “BUCK PASSING” till the tragedy is forgotten!
The tourists seldom remember/think that KERALA IS A PLACE WHERE TORNAEDOS CAN THROW A TRAIN OUT OF ITS TRACK & TAKE A HUNDRED LIVES, COMING FROM NOWHERE! And, they never will know that MOST OF THE BOATS WITH THE TOURISM DEPARTMENT, IF EXAMINED PROPERLY, WILL HAVE ONE FATAL FLAW OR ANOTHER, WHICH WILL COME TO THE PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE ONLY WHEN THERE HAPPENES A TRAGEDY LIKE THAT ONE HAPPENED AT THATTEKKAD OR THEKKADY! And they will never understand that in Kerala (as is in most parts of our dear country India) THE RESCUE OPERATION IS THE COLLECTION OF THE DEAD BODIES, hours after a tragedy strikes! And, the poor tourists will never know that KERALA IS A STATE, WHICH SITS IT’S HANDS VOLUNTARILY TIED IN FRONT, DOING NOTHING ON A VERY DANGEROUS TIME BOMB NAMED MULLAPPERIYAR DAM (Near Which the Thekkady Tragedy occurred!), which can just erase 3 or 4 districts of Kerala in no time, if collapsed! What is known for sure is that the thrifty Keralite will rise as a phoenix from any disaster and move forward in THE TRUST & BELIEF THAT NOTHING TRAGIC WILL HAPPEN........ AGAIN!!!
