Gun Points Pen!

Today is one of the saddest days in my life. Not simply because another Indian student studying in the US was assassinated, but more than that he was from my undergrad university. It certainly makes me sceptical about the security of foreign students there. It's the security system the Americans boast of, should be questioned. This is no new event, this is happening very frequently in the last few years and more so in this year. None of these cases were resolved and nobody was convicted. How come you boast of the best crime investigation system? Or, is it deliberate? It's not very hard to anticipate the motive behind the murder. People coming from foreign nations are drying out US jobs. But if they have the courage and guts, should give answer of a pen with a pen! Why take gun to do that job? Globalization was only an US concept, and now they are feeling the heat of it. But whoever you are, who murdered these innocent young talents of India, please understand that US is a land of immigrants and immigrants only! The technology or science whatever you boast of today, has been borrowed from other nations. You don't have anything of your own. So, if you are feeling you are the native of that place, a correction, you are not.

I feel deeply sad after I saw today's newspaper. Abhijit Mahato had a dream of doing a Doctorate from US, like many of us. Only destiny took him on some other way. He was shot dead at his apartment near Duke University, his institute where he joined as a PhD student, by some unknown assassins. Even God doesn't know what his offense was. I think the assassins will escape as it happened for the previous cases as well, but as an alumnus of Jadavpur University, Abhijit's undergrad institute, and as an Indian, I strongly urge the Indian Association and the high commission there to take prompt action in this regard. In India, we complain about improper security system and poor law and order, but I don't see anything better out there. My candid query to the law and order authorities there is whether this is what is going to carry on and the brilliant young guns from different nations will have to pay its price??
