<< Terrorist attacks and L K Advani won't miss an opportunity | Main | BJP's opportunistic volte face >>

Posted on: Nov 29, '08

What do I feel about the terror attacks?

I am safe physically. Though mentally and emotionally, wish i could say the same, but can't. I've never felt so insecure and helpless and frustrated.

Experiences? The streets of Bombay have never felt so eerie and the air has never been this heavy with tragedy. Every car and bike seems suspicious. It hurts to see innocent Muslim people getting rounded up just because they wear a sherwani on a Friday and have a beard, while the terrorists make it to the city with RDX and AK47.

It feels terrible to know that your friend has got hit with a shrapnel on the chin or that your friend's uncle and brother-in-law's friend died in the attack. Feels angering that as soon as the tragedy is over, the opportunist opposition will criticize the ruling govt for incompetence and bake their breads on the fire that's burning my city and country.

The terrorists don't realize this jehad would be the undoing of their own brethren, who would only get more antagonized and targeted. They are making it worse for Islam.

The city is coping the way it should be - with resilience. But then feels like being in Kashmir or Palestine or Israel, where attacks happen almost all the time and everyone is about their business because life has to go on. And guess it's a way to show the terrorists that part of their purpose is not served - even if they do terrorise us, they can't keep us down.

But what do I do about my guilty conscience? While so many people are dying, it feels like a crime to even smile or have a good time.

its actually true ,now these politicians will blame oppositions ad so on, but infact they dnt have anything to do with the lives of the innocents who lost their lives ,it willonly act as bread and butter for them.
Not only air of mumbai but our far away frm mumbai is filled with these sadness, we actually could not do any thing but literary pray to god to keep those people alive and safe.our intelligence agencies ned to be more alert now ,so that they shuld atlest stop this happening to other parts of india.

Well...Dhaval...it would be totally deviating from facts to say that "innocent muslims are getting arrested because they wear a sherwani on a Friday and sport a beard"...Innocent people, whatever they wear on whichever day should not get affected! However, it would be less prudent to believe that the terorists came from outside India, entirely on their own and carried out this attack. It's very evident that 'local sleeper cells' have been engaged in gathering vital information and passing on to their "mentors" and have played a key role in executing this war on Indian soil. I think, we need to stop painting a religious hue whenever a terror attack takes place...what it means is allowing the security agencies to do their jobs.
