Another holocaust, another outrage, another day and nothing..
that is what Mumbai is all about....let go a few days and another news will take the headlines and everybody will forget what has happened....with only those who have lost their loved ones nurturing the bitter memories.
Who failed? the misnisters/ politicians, the govenment, the intelligence??? who takes the blame? With everybody passing the ball this has become a regular game...as a result be prepared for more such tragedies to happen.
Lighting candles and sending sms will not help in preventing the same from happening again...only offers a bit of consolation.
To say that Mumbaikars are one and united and have a never-say-die spirit is all bull...the main thing is there is no easy option available...no infrastructure, no governing bodies, no body to cry out to and nobody to listen and action.
To pass n all the blame to Pakistan is also not justified....if my house is to be protcted, I should do it....
What is needed here is a public outrage..."seedhi ungli se ghee nahi nikalta"
Hit out at the politicians who have started this...those who use divisive politics taking religion and region as a measure...had it not been for the demolition of babri masjid it is very much possible that so much hatred could never have been fostered....do not be surprised if there is a civil war someday regarding even the different regions of our own country thanks to those politicians who never showed a face during this catastrophe but are first to divide the public on regional grounds and shout at the top of thier voices declaring love for Mumbai and the state...
A lot of efforts and measures will have to be taken if we do not want history to repeat itself. Firstly let people not get swayed by the sweet nothings of these politicos who have nothing to offer and so much to gain...how many of these politicos have suffered any personal losses during any of these tragedies?? NONE..
The police should help and initiate certain public groups - the commonmen from all localities (handpicked people after proper scrutinity) to monitor and inform about any irreglarities or suspicious activites in thier domains...Also imparting training regarding disaster management during such times to the public via classes and media would help save many lives...public awareness and help would definitely cut down the chances of such happenings...every police station shuld be made responsible for attending/investigating all such complaints however vague they may seem...it is a himlayan task but not impossible...v shuld also press for more educated and young politicians...no political party should be allowed to propagate on terms of religion or regions...
impart part military / self defence training in all schools and encourage patriotism amongst the children....let the media also grow equally responsible...do not show or publish any news which would harm the public just to get extra leverage for their channels/news papers...a lot can be done and will have to be done or else be prepared for more such attacks.
