The reports say of how the terrorists used these same digital maps to plan their actions and reduced the requirement of having to stay in Mumbai and do a proper reconnaissance. At this time, you will not find many people favouring update of digital maps.
Terrorists are not isolated 4th standard pass idiots as made out to be by our dimwit sec personnel. They have access to far more resources than most police personnel even in well developed countries. And we all know the Pak army dont have digital maps - they just ask around
No amount of guns n gizmos, draconian laws and ban the google will help the woefully corrupt cops. It starts with recruitment and carries on from there. Helped along the way by not being paid salaries for months, political interference, horrendous working conditions etc etc. For all the shouting from the rooftops about Paki support, the Indian government has no evidence from this or any of the past attacks that will withstand scrutiny in a court of law. If it did, it could easily take it's case to the Hague and screw the shit out of pakistan and it's chuppa rustom friend USA without firing a bullet.
The Issue goes a little further,
In a place like Mumbai with nearly 2 Crore population, the terrorists killed about 200,
hardly a nudge in the yearly death rate,
politicians use this as a chance to pass regulations that will harass rest of the population for a lifetime,
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
Sad, is'nt it
this is a cause worth fighting for, freedom is a precious thing.
