60 Hours of T'error'

Every one has been talking of the resilience of the Mumbaikars and the way they have bounced back after the Ghastly attack of the terrorists on Mumbai which cost us some of our brave police men and soldiers.The goons were on the killing spree and were the cause of ghastly incidences of rampage at three places in Mumbai, The Taj, The Oberoi and the Nariman house.Every terrorist knew he is going to be killed and the chances of his survival are negligible in this encounter.Think from a different frame of reference, that of the Fidaeen's, one can imagine what has prompted them at such early age to turn as suicide attackers. It is most probably either inspired by the preachings of the anti social elements against the society claiming as fight against the discrimination of Muslims ( tenets of LeT, which is thought of as the main Kin pin organization behind the attack ) or lured and trapped for money to over come the grim situations of their families. Either way they were wrong to have committed such a ghastly crime which had taken more than 180 lives. I, same as Mr Tata the chairman of The Taj also opine, that the attack could not have been avoided in its final stage. But It could have been avoided if spotted earlier by the intelligence agencies. The prima faci cause which was thought of, was pretty conspicuous, the loopholes in the security at the coast line through which the militants infiltrated. There is lack of coordination between the security guards and the patrolling men. In one of the TV shows I was shocked to see that there were no patrolling guards at all in many of the places along the coast line and how easy it was to smuggle goods or even RDX through international waters.This, I think made the passage of these terrorists in to the country easier. Today the papers are full of pictures of people attending to their duties and papers lauding the way in which they sprang back to their routines.I am not amazed by this coz, I think they had to attend to their routines and had no choice.The failure on part of the politicians and the home ministry department is clearly visible to every one. One can find the answers if they question themselves, Why only India and not USA or England ! ( 9/11 was the last terror attack in the US) its a complete failure in every department This can't be denied, only thing that can be done now is to work to our potentials in avoiding any further losses, stop being called as brazen people and ensure the implementation of stringent rules that our constitution has laid for the safety of us, after all, we want to live in safe India.
