What is happening over there in Mumbai is equally shameful as it is a tragedy for our great country. It is tragic for all the lives lost and injuries and panic for unsuspecting innocents.
Shame comes coz some whackos with big bagful of assault machine guns, hand grenades, bomb materials and what not could land in the center of Mumbai and go freely and take down two of the most important hotels in the country.
Agree that terrorist attack could happen anywhere but this is not the first time or even the fifteenth time that this has happened. Fidayeen is one of the oldest forms of attacks modern India has known and handled. They why we don't pro-act and always react?
Probably, we, as a result of a false understanding of our culture, have grown to accept mistakes (rectifiable at that) as a result of fate. This attitude frees us from guilt but can sometimes bring great grievance and we would bring ourselves to be happy about it that everything is for good.
Its not just about terrorism but there are so many atrocities around us. We've been constantly advised by parents, friends, well-wishers to not indulge in any unwanted/sensational takes on politics/religion and look after our own affairs. We continue to accept whatever shit that is being thrown on us.
We don't know how to solve our problems. We have grown weak and soft. We feel that changing the world around us is best left for a messiah or a savior, who probably would come riding in a white horse wielding a sword at the end of the universe. Who is going to save us until then?
