The Mumbai Massacre – What after those 59 hours???????

शहीदों की मज़ारों पर लगेँगे हर बरस मेले;
वतन पर मिटने वालों का यही बाँकी निशाँ होगा...



I have purposefully used the word massacre here, yes it nothing other than massacre, Massacre of Humanity, Massacre of Human life, Massacre of trust and Massacre of civil society…..

Like many others I am also angry and sad at the same time. I also feel like shooting these bastards (no matter if it is Pakistan, Dawood or someone else), I also feel like weeping with those family members who lost their members. Amongst these feelings I am thinking—

1. For how long we will remember this?
2. Will we learn anything from this?

I do not have any answers to this, I am sorry but I do not have. I am living in a country whose Prime Minister lacks authority, the crime happened in a state whose chief minister does not care about terrorism, this country is having a Home Minister who is a shameless creature and has never heard of a simple term called Morality. Yes, I am talking about Mr Manmohan Singh, Mr. Vilasrao Deshmukh and Mr. Shivraj Patil. By the way where is Mr. Thakre, with his brave Marathi Sena, I could not trace them on any of the News Channel and also if I remember correctly, they did not find the way which was any way near to Taj, Oberoi or Nariman House. As I am writing this, I am seeing on one TV channel that Deputy CM of Maharashtra is saying that its no big deal, bade bade sehron mein aaisi ghatna ho jaati hai ( In a big city like this, these events do happen occasionally). What bull shit this is? Can someone please ask MR Patil, what if out of those 182 people that died; one would have been from his family. India is still paying the price of one Mr. Mufti Mohammad Saeed’s love for his daughter.

I think I am already getting the answer of point 1 after seeing what Deputy CM has to say. Based on this I am changing my mind, I think we should start with the enemies within the country, people like Mr Patil should be taught a tough lesson. We as an Indian should do something now to teach such guys a lesson, because it is very evident that all the politicians belong to the same gutter and we cannot rely on these bastards to take care of our country. It is we who holds the responsibility.

I am also amazed by the role media is playing, I appreciate what they have done to bring the coverage to us, however, I feel that it is not out of their responsibility towards the society that they have done this, but it is beause they wanted to earn fame for themselves and for their channel. The reason why I am saying this is that, after the completion of the operation, they are engaged in the same old rat story –

“One Mr. Deepak Chaurasia is showing pictures from inside of Taj and repeating like a toy, these are exclusive pictures being shown on Star News, then comes Barkha Dutt, these footage are shown for the first time on NDTV, someone from IBN7, Sahara Samay etc are doing the same. What the hell this is, people know that they are watching STAR NEWS, NDTV etc. Moreover, at such a time of utter grief, pain and sorrow why would we want to know who is brining those exclusive pictures. Why don’t they understand that they have far greater responsibilities towards society then selling themselves and their channels? Journalists are supposed to be the mirror of common man through which we can see the facts. Mumbai is bleeding and so is the society, please do something to stop that, do something to appease the pain, do something to uncover the culprits, do some campaign to bring people together, something to jolt these self-centered quiescent politicians out of stupor.

Everyone is talking about the hand of Karachi in this massacre, but my question is if we have evidence and even if we can prove that Karachi is behind this brutality, can we do anything? Do we have the guts to go ahead and kill the ones who are involved? Do we have the mettle to attack Pakistan if they refuse to give us the ones that are involved.

We all know the answer, isn’t it?

So my question is what is going to be different after those Deadly 59 hours? Unfortunately like before I am sorry I do not have any answers because my Country has been paralyzed due to inept politicians and policy makers who will do meeting after meeting in an Air-conditioned Hall with coffee snacks etc, then come out with some stupid plan that will never get implemented.

And we “The common people” as well as the media will again sleep and get busy in our life until (God Forbidding) something like this or even major or slightly minor happens again. Nobody will remember those Karkare’s Kamte’s and Salaskar.

India let us pledge to do something to change things in our own possible way and not forget the sacrifice of the Karkare’s, Kamte’s and Salaskar’s –
संभल जाओ होश में आओ ऐ हिन्दुस्तान वालों
ना जागे तो दास्ताँ भी न होगी तुम्हारी दास्तानों में........
