Its a shame
by Mouli on Jul 12, 2006 12:37 PM

Shame on the Indian govt., and the media especially. Every channel I have seen there is only talk about how resilient Mumbai is. Is this going give any succor to the victims. Media please put yourself in the shoes of the victims and look from thier perspective. I was in the US when 9/11 happened and you know what was the headlines on all the news channels ? Its was "War on America". Compare that to the Indian media, just "Mumbai Blasts". Its a shame that we live in a country where a persons death is considered to be an accident. Ist it because the number of dead are only about 200. We all know the perpetrator and we still want to extended an olive branch. I dont know how many more lives we are going to lose in this "turn the other cheek" philosophy. Gandhism works only when the involved parties are idealistic and have integrity. I dont know how long it will take our inept political leaders for this understanding to dawn upon them. I think we are in a wretched country and we will remain servile and no wonder even countries like Bangladesh can be audacious enough to make transgressions. Its enough and I think the people should not take this lying down anymore.
