Mumbai: Was It Successful?

All this drama makes me laugh. What the fuck is wrong with us? The reason why the terrorists attacked and the way they attacked clearly shows that they wanted publicity and we give them just that. They didn't want to inflict maximum casualties they just wanted to highlight their issue and at the same time show that India is weak and not so secure after all. What we should have done was not a cover up like nothing happened but at least regulate what is being reported and how much. Covering up would be a commie tactic but democracy shows its flaws in the way the media and the press behaves in this country. The attack happened, people were killed which is sad i agree, there were talks of infrastructure, security, anti terror laws. Does it help? What we need is action but our actions will never be against the perpetrators, they will as always be against the innocents living in this country. For that is the easiest.
All i am saying is that our foreign policy may have inspired these attacks.What has been happening over so many years since the partition could be a result of our actions. But who cares the majority is always right, isn't it? We blatantly support Israel and American atrocities against so many Muslim countries. America never was anybody's friend, they lost in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. Imagine this, they never fought a war on their soil after the Civil War but they were involved in every other war after that, including the World Wars. F**king hilarious man!
I am not deducing any relation between the terrorist attack in Mumbai and our support of America or American support of Israel. Maybe there is a relation. What this article is about is the publicity that the terrorists seek and our failure in understanding that, our curiosity in their actions and hence the media exaggerates everything they do.
Someone said one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. In this case it wasn't terrorism at all, it was homicide. Homicidal maniacs like these should be dealt with strongly and swiftly. We panic a lot, we don't negotiate or seem to understand that there can be special tactics arising out of negotiation. The coverage that it got was more than it deserved.
Lets see what happened after the attack ended after approx two days of painfully slow reactions, goddamn it! Did i see NSG commandos relaxing and almost sleeping near the hotel, look at them man, they are not even fit, tummies bulging out, i suspect their aim now! Can they even wield a weapon properly?. The Prime minister of India wants an agency like FBI and Pakistan has offered to send ISI chief to assist in getting more information about the attack. Funny but the world thinks ISI masterminded this. Jews think they are being targeted, US thinks it is them. The organizations that we suspect these terrorists came from haven't accepted responsibility yet. I know that foreign policy is not something that can be changed by one man or one state or one political party. It is something to ponder over at least. To cure cancer we don't have to necessarily chop off our body, which could also help considering the cancer is Kashmir. We can even take the chemo route and stop the cancer causing relations with America and Israel.

Nice one , Thx for the elaborate comments on my ignorant article. What i am trying to say is, 1. It took longer than usual to get rid off, few terrorists holding a nation hostage, these are the words coming to everyone's mind now that it is over. 2. The publicity that this got could have been regulated, i mean come on every news channel and every paper was choking with " War on Mumbai". 3.Could this have been negative for us? , I am just contemplating some companies which want to come to India , looking at us as not so good security wise now. 4.Was it successful for them, hence? I think we should regulate the media more appropriately. 5. Is there a solution in sight? What we need, i think is a stronger debate on all forums of public sphere. It is time to get our hands dirty. 6. I am just wondering what the cause could be. Everyone seems to think Pakistan, actually make that everyone knows now that it is Pakistan. Should we not declare actual war on them then? Finish it all were it starts. 7. Or should we take the separatist cries in Kahsmir more seriously, if it is not yet time to declare war, u know at least give them options. I am sure there are Human rights violations in every country or region that is being held against its will. Or it seems in this case, Doesn't it? 8. Having a federal agency is a good idea, are we gonna work on it though? "On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for evryone drops to zero" --Tyler Durden Visit: http://metalatem.blogspot.com

Agree with taprial

I tend to agree with, taprial. A Very thoughtful reply indeed. I think your comments should have been the main byte. I also find asif's remarks a tad distasteful. The whole of India and even the world waited with bated breath for ordeal of more than 48 hrs to end. And here it seemed like a drama to our esteemed friend. Like you say taprial, its easy to sit in the comfort of living room and pass belligerent remarks . It is another cup of tea to be facing a living nightmare for affected people. Such situations require cool minds to deal with. More maturity and restrain is called for when speaking in retrospect. Lest you twist the knife(of terror) already stuck deep into the public psyche. I think asif may like to keep his "cup of tea" down and have a sincere rethink on his comments. (I wish we could give Votes to comments too! : hey, Jeremey thats an idea!) +1 Taprial for your comments. Now Get Satellite TV on Your PC Legally. See News Better.

Entertainment?

I saw your profile and noticed that you have written your occupation as Service. I hope like hell, it is not the Defence services. Moreover i would like to think that your outburst is nothing more than that of an immature and ignorant mind. The Indian media may have been immature in handling the incident, but they can be pardoned, this being the first time it happened in an easily approachable location with all the facilities available which are required to cover the incident . But there is a positive side to it. Everyone including the prospective perpetrators saw that this is a one way road and sooner or later the path leads to self destruction. All this drama makes me laugh. About 190 people killed, 300 injured and you think it is a drama and it makes you laugh. It is sickening. They didn't want to inflict maximum casualties they just wanted to highlight their issue And what was the issue? They did not seem to talk about it. Do you have any insight into their mind which others are unaware of? Negotiation is out of the question. India has learned it the hard way. Terrorists will kill, either today or tomorrow. Only the people getting killed might change, their won't be much difference in the numbers. You can complain about America being against the Muslim countries and our support/ friendship with America, but one should remember that it is mostly because of America that our Muslim neighbors in the west can sleep in peace. Time and again, it is America which has stopped India from showing Pakistan their place in this region. The reactions of the Indians were not slow. They could have stormed all the places on the first day itself and got over with it. However, then there wouldn't have been any difference between the Homicidal terrorists and the Indian armed forces. Fortunately, unlike you and the terrorists, the Indian armed forces value human life much more and that is why had to take measured steps towards getting rid of the terrorists with minimal loss to human life. You saw NSG commandos relaxing and tummies bulging. I think, it is time you got yourselves a pair of glasses. NSG is the only agency in India where the moment a person falls short of the requisite standards, he is shunted back to his original department and that does not include only physical standards, it also includes skills like shooting etc. And as far as relaxing is concerned, which i am sure they were not, have you even seen a rifle, much less hold it? Handling it is not like what you have seen in films, where they are using toys. Hold it for one hour and you will know what it is like to run around in a place with a rifle, ammo and other accessories like torches etc, with your enemy firing at you. Just for your information, it was not Pakistan which offered to send their ISI chief to India, it was the Indian PM who insisted that the ISI chief be sent to India to see the unmistakable and irrefutable evidence of the Pakistani hand in the attack. It is easy to sit in front of TV and pass comments. Next time before you trivialize someone's achievement, think what they have achieved and how that small thing will probably help you sleep better at night. Isn't it a comforting thought, that if, God Forbid, you are stuck as a hostage some day you know that the people outside will do whatever it takes to save your life? Bare Essentials

You see to be staying on another planet. There was no NSG commando there with his "tummy bulging" as you seem to allege. You seem to be saying that these attacks occurred because India has good relations (these days at least) with US, UK and Israel. Let me remind you (you know it of course) that India's relations with Israel were almost non-existent till as late as late nineties. Was India spared any attack then? The khalistani cause was supported openly by Pakistan then too, the kashmir valley militancy has been around for two decades in its current form. In fact when the Mumbai blasts of the early nineties occurred, india didnt have intelligence sharing with US. India was a firm supporter of Arab cause (remember the number of times arafat came to India and was accorded a warm welcome)...till the Muslim bomb was created by Pakistan with india as the main target or maybe even later. It seems you are suggesting india should cut off the portion of Kashmir it occupies and hand it to Pakistan (that is what it will amount to - I cant see an independent Kashmir existing in that strategic region.) That may well happen with the kind of political spine on view. Its really juvenile to suggest that India's current relations (India just has a diplomatic channel open with israel - hardly a kind of buddy buddy relation, and believe me US too doesn't lose sleep over Indo - US relations) with US and Israel resulted in these attacks! Why did the attacks happen? How will it affect India. You can read Here Join XOMBA, Write, Make Money! My profile Latest football
