A bunch of young militants strode into the financial hub of our nation and scarred it deep. Okay! It was not as easy as you read the 1st statement. It costed a 3 day nerve-wracking and lives swallowing ordeal for the Army to kill them and take control of the situation. And, it is going to take much longer for the Mumbaikers to heal the wound and set back to normalcy.
I am so proud of the Army men for staking their lives to save ours! One of the commandants when questioned if the operation was tough, his response was, “Desh seva mein, Humey kuch mushkil nahin”(Nothing is tough for us while serving our country).
On the same land with such an Indian with true patriotic spirit to rescue us, we have a flip side too. Let us take a look at this dimension.
This devastating incident has been claimed as the Indian 9-11 destruction and the top politicians condemned it thoroughly. Would that help? An absolute “NO-NO”.
Had our politicians spent half of their 4 M’s (Man, Machine, Material and Money) in reinforcing stringent and advanced security measures and equipping our Police personnel with superior ammunition instead of “Lathis”, we would not have witnessed the disaster.
Corruption has become a part and parcel of our lives without any Choice! What about the ROI for these extra payments besides our tax? A full sized Zero! Leave alone our amenities in our society; we are fighting to get a decent life security. When countries inferior to us are able to protect their citizens through their world class security measures, why not we!
I don’t back any political party, all I am concerned is the Government System which is diluted time and again in exercising its duties. How many more lives does this System claim to bring a change in its operations?
Don’t we deserve a safer Indian life!

i totally agree with uDecember 1, 2008 at 7:40 PMi was speaking to my dad on the other day while watching everything live and all he said was, give the watchman a Rs 100 note, he will allow and tom dick harry into your flat with gun or whatever.. how true??? We are vulnerable for manythings...India is Angry and so am IDecember 1, 2008 at 8:14 PMyes! the situation is getting worse day by day..and we need a sensible leader who can stand against the odds and help us bail out .December 2, 2008 at 1:12 AMGood Videhi, You have depicted two conflicting angles of the same Indian ppl very briefly. I feel giving away one lakh or two to the relatives of those whoc lose their lives is cheaper than setting up a proper security system in India and is exactly what is being followed in India. We choose leaders, we pay taxes and they just dont even provide us with the bare minimum facilities and rights. Atleast the basic one... right to live. Very pathetic. One more point that i agree with you very much is that the police men in India are just equipped with lathis... what are they for, cant even scare a pick pocketer whereas the terrorists are equipped with the latest weapons which can cause mass destruction within no time..... There needs an immediate attention to this aspect of India rather than just reading out the good things as speech that happen every year on independence day and republic day.
