After 14 months of the Pulwama attack, we still don't know who's been held accountable for the death of 40 CRPF personnel. We haven't been told how 300 kilos of explosives were sourced and transported. Who leaked the route that CRPF convoy was going to take? No answers.
The media doesn't ask these questions despite all the claims of putting 'Nation first'. That's because for them, 'Nation first' = 'Government first'. Those who ask these questions are declared anti-national, and rest will wait for a figure of how many of 'theirs' could we kill.
Eventually, a friendly news agency will quote 'sources' and put out some figure of the number 'we' killed, and it will be diligently broadcasted by every media org, again without any questions asked. In case of Balakot, till date we haven't seen a single image of the 300 dead.
Over-the-top media coverage of 'how many we killed' will satisfy the collective blood thirst of the population, and no one will ask the question as to how did the Indian soldiers die in the first place, and what were the failures at our end. Their death won't matter anymore.
This is what being 'nationalistic' means these days. Being 'nationalistic' necessitates that you become part of a herd which never questions, and blindly accepts anything that they're fed. Any departure from this goes into the realm of 'anti-nationalism'.
