We the Indians

Dear Indians around the World,

The senseless round of violence has claimed more close to 200 lives in Mumbai and hundreds more were injured. Time and time again we find ourselves helpless because of the cowardice of our Indian Government.

We always find ourselves in a situation where we are unable to do anything. I would like us to take a page from Mahatma Gandhi's principles of Non-cooperation. We should boycott anything and everything related to Pakistan. We should stop watching shows that have pakistani nationals, stop watching cricket matches with pakistan, stop buying any products that are made in pakistan and stop eating in Indian restaurants owned by Pakistanis.

While we do all this we have to let the show organisers, BCCI, and local dealers know why we are doing this. Tell them that you are boycotting all things of pakistani origin. This does not promote hate but delivers a strong message that we have the power of economic blockade and steadily other groups will follow suit.

Pakistan has to understand that there is a price to pay for all their actions. They currently understand that the indian government is not as powerful as america to do anything to them, but they do not understand that Indians around the world are powerful enough to cause economic damage to them.

To give you a quick glimpse, I have boycotted anything related to Pakistan since the Kargil war was started by pakistan. If i brought anything by mistake (irrespective of its price) i threw that thing into the trash and ensured that it was not in a shape or form to be used by anyone else. Indian store owners know i do not buy anything from pakistan and i actually was able to persuade one store owner to stop stocking anything made in pakistan.

Let us take pride in our patriotism, in our bharat mata and ensure that we do our bit for our country.

Jai Hind !!!
