I don't know if all the articles written about Mumbai Attack worth as personally I find them far from reality, as we see from the eyes of media, a media which is sensational and scandalized…. We protest on net or by lighting candles (it took 8 big blasts this year to light candles why? Or we’re so used to of the blasts that we made terrorist think and they needed something else to shake us) .. Media covers an attack, we write blogs and we forget is our attitude. Our blood boils whenever we see some unidentified enemy invading our country and killing fellow countrymen, but it takes few days to freeze again…. We blame Pakistan, and that we do real nicely, but what are we doing other than that?
We keep forgetting India is not about 8 Metropolitan cities and people surfing on internet, it’s about thousands of village and villager who are far from this entire media and information technology…. We show billion hands in hands and warn our neighbor, for me It's a favorite fantasy as an Indian.
About stand of our government and politicians after this attack, and their hoax warnings to Pakistan … believe they don’t have back bone and are not responding because “ENOUGH is ENOUGH” protests but they really don’t want to publicized their impotency to the foreign world… they know it and pretty sure about it that they will get their votes, because the articles flowing on net about 40A or whatever, will never reach the major part of India, which is their target addressees… we crib and will keep on cribbing about politics, religion and castes, Mullayam, Lalu, Achuthanandan , and Raj Thackrey, but what exactly we do about them. We ourselves are divided by the core of our hearts, and nobody here can deny this, if not religion we have region, if not caste we have language, if not color we have economical status…. As if we are in the race of proving oneself superior to other… surf any online news channel’s article, people are not responding but fight as if they got some battle ground to throw out their frustration… deep to the core of our souls we find really unattached to the people who can’t speak elite language…. [Otherwise these candle light protests would have been there when 130 people killed In Assam Blast], we are deeply biased and controlled by prejudice.
‘Russell Peters’ (Stand up Comedian from Indian Origin) in one of his shows talked about how after 9/11 we Indians are confused with terrorist, and he explained in one line how we are different from Terrorists, quoted “TERRORISTS HATE AMERICA, AND INDIANS HATE EACH OTHER” truth conveyed.
We can’t move ahead further with an excuse…. Please stop quoting India is growing in-spite of its’ politicians, because now they are not allowing us to move forward an inch… and finally I don’t know if what I have written here is worth but yes I am shattered as an Indian and I am crying for those who lost their lives and for those who lost their loved ones… I am angry and yes I am feeling helpless and hopeless.

hey Ruchi!! the point is very very valid. I am myself so very frustrated that ve lost the capacity even to think about the hopeless perpetual mess created by our politicians. Donno what the solution is...
it is the time to fight... fight against terrorism and every other corruption which is eating our country like termite....this is becoz of our sloppy behaviour v r facing all such senarios.
just the handful amount of terrorist with their repugnant morals tried to hit the FINANCIAL CAPTICAL of our Country...
that should be taken as a DISGRACE TO OUR COUNTRY...it does not mean only officials are there for this disgrace.. BEING A CITIZEN OF THIS CONTRY ITZ A DISGRACE TO ALL OF US.. so come fight wid this terrorism.and i promise this fite will bring a great feeling of ecstatic in u.
"WAQT AANE DE BATA DENGE TUJHE AE ASMAAN... HUM ABHI SE KYA BATAYEN KYA HUAMRE DIL MEIN HAI!!!!"
don't u all think its HIGH TIME... wot else do u want to iginite the fire of PATRIOTISM in u?????
itz not just with sword or guns u can fight its just a venerate feeling for your Beloved country..will pave a path to ur kind of PATriotism...
our leaders cala press confrence and say... BE CALM N COMPOSED.. but do u think is this a right time to be quite???
GUSSA KARO ZID KARO...n ask ur self...should we be quite?
introspect and if u find an answer as "NO... I SHOULD DO SOME THING"
this answer itself wil give u a reason to fight and will automatically pave a path to ur kind of PATRIOTISM.
BUt plz.. do ask urself this question.we can do it.. by paying our taxes on time.. reducing black money.. and not bribing... govt officials
JAI HIND!!!
What we can do.I think now time has come to take some clear actions as common citizens only thn things will change.We just protest have candle light vigils sign few posters and nothing changes.Its not time to just saying the things...Its time for action......
I have a few questions to ask. How far is organizing rallies going to help in changing the system? Will blaming politicians and the security agencies help to fight terrorism? What is the value of life of a common man?
I still remember a scene from the movie NAYAK. It’s about Paresh Rawal explaining Anil Kapoor about entering into politics. He says that every person blames political leaders and thinks that politics is dirty. But, no one thinks of entering into it and cleaning it. You can’t clean the drainage unless you jump into it. To find a fault is easy; to do better may be difficult.
When you talk about change, has anyone thought about being a part of it, or rather initiating anything for it?
To conclude, I would like to mention a few words quoted by George Bernard Shaw, “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.”
I know writing this reply won't help but thanks for this.
Hi Ruchi,
I liked your view point...
As rightly said by Gandhiji... India's prosperity lies in the prosperity of her villagers....
I truly believe that education and "Only" education can change the problems that the villagers are having (per se, it is not just villagers, it is the problem even with urbans as well)...by "education", I didn't mean the certificates we get after formal education in schools and colleges...by "education", I mean the knowledge a person gain to know and sense the real difference between "day" and "night"...Only then he/she will ask or use the word "why" in its real sense...and once a person start using this powerful word "why" he/she will come out of this endless illusions created by politicians and the religious vices in the universe...most of these terrorists are acting by the illusions rather than knowing what exactly he/she is doing...few months ago I read about how Nalini Sriharan has been weeping and regretting in the jail over her sinful deed (As you all know she was part of the LTTE team that killed Rajiv Gandhi)...by the time she realized it was too late...I know there are lots and lots of poor and uneducated people in our rural/urban areas and they are being fed with false information and were forced to act upon these illusions...
