In a place like Mumbai with nearly 2 Crore population, the terrorists killed about 200,
hardly a nudge in the yearly death rate,
WOW ! The attitude is interesting. I am sure for the people who lost family and friends in the attack will appreciate that its hardly a nudge in the death rate. Good thing people like you are not in control of the country. Or Wait ! They are actually.
@Saswata - I agree with you completely. We Indian do not take other people's lives seriously. At times, we are so insensitive to such issues, which reflects in our every walk of our life, including politics and other areas. May be this is the problem of plenty? Or is it our belief in reincarnation or our belief in life after death?
politicians use this as a chance to pass regulations that will harass rest of the population for a lifetime,
@Satya - This is what we should fight against. You CAN NOT be more secure by giving more control and power to others including the State.
Instead of working to build intelligence and rooting out the problem,our country seems to think that harassing our own people is the answer to an external danger
This is akin to what happens to a rape victim
True... We somehow collectively always reach wrong conclusions and policies. I have seen many so called educated, inteligent and savvy people demanding dictatorship, army rule and emergency! Can you believe that?
Sad, is'nt it
this is a cause worth fighting for, freedom is a precious thing.
