I do pity very much the plight of the hostages with death hanging over in a very cruel manner. The fault lies in them having chosen to work in that country because of the offer of huge salaries unthinkable by them in India. Even this day, as I see in the Media, scores of persons are recruited by known agencies to work as Drivers, cooks, Guards etc . Those who opt for these services know fully well where they will end up and what is their fate. It is illogical and improper to drag the name of the Government for not rescuing them from the tragedy. The suffering families are responsible for this sorry state of affairs.
