Day 3 - 27th July, 2008
It was disheartening to see the start of a new blame game after the serial blasts at Bangalore. If amateurs with destructive ideals are going to use ammonium nitrate and make explosives, where are we heading too?
The BJP says there is no check on the rise of terror attacks from the center. The Congress says its a state subject also. In the meantime, Left blames both and launches a multi million campaign on inflation. Again full of chaos and making no sense to the ' COMMON MAN' when he is striving to get home/work in a safer environment.
I was asked funny questions from my friends from Turkey, China, Chile, Germany, Belgium, war countries like Israel and of course the States. These questions seemed funny to me but very conscious and important for them to know.
Who is responsible for the attack?
Who do you think would be behind it?
How does it affect the local citizen?
You ve been at war with Pakistan for almost 60 years. Do you think they would use such methods to obtain Kashmir and divert public grievances.
Do you think a political party might be behind this?
Does it make any difference when 10 people die in a country of 1 Billion + population.
To all this, i just had to say, we are bound to think in a manner in the way the politicians and journalists want us too. They want us to sympathize on attacks at Mumbai trains, we do that. They want us to revolt on attacks at Akshardham we do that. They want us to remain neutral and do nothing when there is curfew at Jammu, we do that. We've become their slaves in today's Information World. Our reactions are no more risen from within with pity, sympathy or agony. You see vengeance, anger, hatred and repulsiveness against the people who perform such acts.
Its not a defense in any way but simply, the manner of our thinking needs to be autonomous and think and look upto with some softness. There is a very different reaction I witnessed in the Indians back home and in London. People in India were little less moved or shaken compared to the people who were here. God knows why or is it all to do with perspectives.
Nevertheless, I feel sorrow for the citizens of Bangalore and all Indians

Indians have learnt to live with terror much the same way that Palestinians or the Israelis have done. The only difference is that while the state in Israel is firm about tackling terror we in india just let our citizens Die. The Minister for Home will come on the TV and say that the state was forwarned. The State Governemnt will set up a routine enquiry. The Intelligence officials will wait for a turncoat informer to own up the blast and some nondescript arrests would be made to close the file. WE move on to another day and another life.India is a soft State and a Soft target. The Government is least concerned about tackling terrorism lest it hurt certain segments of the Vote bank.Some day future generations will have to repent our attitudes.May GOD be with you.
