I am thankful to God that no political party has resorted, at least till now, to whipping up communal frenzy in the aftermath of the serial bomb blasts in Mumbai’s local trains.

Is it not even more unfortunate than the acts of terrorism that such a thought should enter the minds of citizens in a country that prides itself on being a secular, democratic republc?

Ashamed to be an Indian. The world´s largest democracy and look at what we have managed to elect as an administration. An incompetent and corrupt government for whom its citizen´s lives are mere numbers.

Hundreds of thousands have died in Kashmir for over two decades now and it took a 9/11 or a 7/11 for the world to even acknowledge the hurt or anger that has become a way of life for us Indians.

While I used to atleast hope earlier, I am now convinced that our government will never learn, not until the entire country perishes and is taken over by a said minority. What a shame?

Manpreet, perhaps it is because DesiPundit is unwittingly playing ball with those who want to force every searing image of these bomb blasts into our skulls, have us properly conditioned, so that a “suitable” “response” will not raise too many eyebrows from people with consciences still intact.

Kuch Batay….
kuch ankahi batay reh gaye
Kuch adhuray lamhay reh gaye
Aray yaar woh khayalat hi adhuray reh gaye
Chodo kya ‘rang’egay basanti’ ko
jub haalat hi haath say reh gaye

Aaj hi tou usko milna tha
ha bhayee aaj hi ki mulaquat tay huee thee
Do saal say ek doosray ko train mai dekhtay thay
Ek din hosla kur kay baat kur hi li
woh mulaquaat bhi adhuri reh gayee

Bus jaldi college khatam kur lu
phir ma baap kay liye woh gadi looga
kuch aisa hi soch raha tha ki
soch soch mai hi reh gayee

“Mujhay tumhari shakal hi nahi dekhni”
Esa kyu keh kur nikli aaj woh
Pyaar say jaati tou aacha hota
Zindagi bhur dil pur uskay yahi baat reh gayee

Aray yaar 8 mahinay hogaye
bus ek mahina reh gaya
Phir mai usko pet pay leta kur khela karuga
woh khilanay valay haath hi na reh gaye

Very sad day indeed! Shame on the cowards who did this… !!

BTW, in India, we follow the dd/mm (not mm/dd) syntax.. why is desipundit, and our media too copying the west (as in 9/11) by quoting it as 7/11.. and not 11/7?

Thank you for the link. I’ve only read a few books on the subject, but al Qaeda has demonstrated a pattern of involving itself with other organizations to lend assistance to planning, funding, etc. It is my opinion that the Islamic extremists around the world are more and more globalized in their thought process. For this reason, regionalizing the explanations for the violence misses an important and alarming trend in global terrorism.

It does coincide with the London bombings of 7-11-2005. Pity, our intelligence sux!

Suyog… you spoke my mind. I sometimes feel quite amazed at the lethargy of human mind. Just because Kashmir experiences these scenes every other day, it does not make their misery tolerable and non-comment worthy.

Let God show those Terrorists the right path to “Heaven”…Not through inhuman acts or extremism…..
“Holly War” against innocent people won’t lead them to God…..”JEHAD” ahould be against the corrupt politicians not against lay-men like you or me….

If you feel strongly about the images of the dead beamed with scant discretion on the Indian TV, protest, at least on your blog. I am willing to aggregate the links.

Mumbai Bomb Blasts…

I am stunned!
Just got off the phone with my Mom and she tells me that very quickly the trains are coming back up. People are getting back to work and there is a sense of remorse as well as a defiance to not let the terrorists win.
Both my parents are …

Spare a thought for Srinagar too.

Amidst the Mumbai Mayhem, we should also remember that there 5 blasts in Srinagar, the same morning. It killed 6 people, and however less it may seem in comparision with tragedy to Mumbai loss, lives are precious and need to be remembered and respected.

Blasts in Mumbai…

Terror struck Mumbai’s lifeline seven times in 11 minutes when the first-class compartments of local trains to the city’s western suburbs were ripped apart by powerful blasts. At least 150 people were killed and over 600 injured.
…
The blasts…

Let god give courage to the family of the victims so that they can overcome this atrocity. My heart is with all the Mumbaites.

Let us join our hands against these non-human terrorists and turn our anger into actionable measures so that those involved cannot escape justice.

Reports indicate the shiv sena volunteers seem to be out in full force in aiding the wounded and doing what they do best- Serving the Mumbaikars at a time of crisis.
