Your article clearly puts forth the ire and anger felt by every true Indian in the wake of the latest attacks in Mumbai. I believe that only the strong can practise non-violence. But has India ever proved its strength any time now? Has it ever conveyed its message strongly to the terrorists by taking strong action? How many leaders of terrorist outfits have been beheaded or hanged or even arrested by India? What use is it going about proclaiming that we are a non-violent country if we are not able to protect ourselves? Who in the world,let alone terrorists, will respect India unless it shows the world that it has the power to act violently but just chooses to practise non-violence? By the way what was the Indian Intelligence doing when such blasts were being planned? We need a bias for action. We must strike terror in the terrorist! Till then, such carnage will continue.... I sometimes wish we had a hawkish leader like Bush. At least, he tried to root out terrorism. Sir, you really have a gift for words. I am sure you will go to great heights.
