Ok, now let's come to the point.What happened in Mumbai?Isnt it really spine chilling and horrific what we just witnessed for 60 long hours.But there seems to be a silver lining even in the darkest clouds as finally our Mai Baap Government has woken up from sleep and at least giving some hints of taking a tough stance against terrorism. While we witnessed one of the most heinous acts of crime in India,many questions came on my mind.Firstly,isn't it yet the time to call it Islamic terrorism now?Look what happened in USA post 9/11.They didnt refuse to call it Islamic terrorism and give me one instance of organised terrorism on the soil of USA.Why votebank is still more important to our politicians than the lives of innocent people?
Another question I would like to ask our honourable politicians, what is the law to combat terrorism in India?Wait,it's not over yet.The NSG commandoes did one of the most bravest jobs I have witnessed in my whole life.But why can't they be raised in every metro cities of India?They took nearly 9 hours to reach the spot from Delhi and by that time most of the bloodbath had taken place.Now think how many lives would have been saved minus that nine hour delay. And what an example of solidarity our politicians exhibited?Our PM and the Leader Of The Opposition could not go to the site together just because that might have left a negative impression on the minds of their supporters!!!Isn't it weird?You must be aware of what the Dy CM of Maharashtra had to say after the attack."Mumbai is a big city and such small things will happen.We can not call it a total failure".Bullshit! that's the thing I had to say.
Now lets face a reality.Just 10 young terrorists shook the very base of our nation.Doesn't that make our security system look Galiath in front of the David named terrorism?What was our IB men doing over the years?May be the impact is to a lesser degree but the failure of intelliegence this time tantamounts only to their previous major failure that resulted in Kargil War. Just got the news that our fashin icon Home Minister has resigned.Will the situation improve by this?Only time can tell.But until we the civil society does not wake up the chances that another such incident would not happen looks bleak.
Enough criticism.Now let's look at the challenges ahead and also time to pay respect to our martyrs.They are the real heroes of our nation.Kudos to the NSG commandoes,policemen and all those who sacrificed their lives to save others.Hats off to the employees of the Taj,the Oberoi.The eye witnesses account revealed how they risked their lives to save others.God bless them.I must appreciate the bravery of the journalists who were in the warzone to show us what exactly happened.Barkha Dutt again showed why she is unparellel in journalism in India.After long time I found Indian journalism becoming mature and presenting views without bias or prejudices.Its hard time that they understand that people now have become sick of BREAKING NEWS(?) like who has kissed Rakhi Sawant, why Rahul Mahajan quit the Big Boss show or whom Deepika Padukone is dating these days.Enogh is Enough!An this is for journalism also,not only for the mean politicians.This single event has raised the importance of investigative journalism to a great degree.Its for the media now how they can handle this new situation.
Last but not the least, a battle agains terrorism is here.Its upto us how we react.If we dont wake up from sleep even now,India will go down the history as a nation that failed only because it did not take care of the lives of the innocent.
