“When 10 misguided young men held an entire nation to ransom and there was nothing the nation could do except live in disbelief and post that, in denial.“
Wrong on three counts. First, the terrorists made no demands and therefore could not be said to have held the nation to ransom; second, the nation’s administration reacted by sending in commandos; and third, there was never any hint of denial on the nation’s part. In fact, when a minister appeared to downplay the seriousness of the assault, he was forced from office.
Girish Shahane fisks Suhel Seth’s and M J Akbar’s metaphor-filled columns filled with inanities that he finds bereft of any original insight.
