I or Us.

Hi all, this is my first blog. If there is any mistakes of any kind, I know there will be obviously hundreds of them, please forgive me, but also please spare your precious time to point out few.

The main motivation to start this blog is the Head Lines that's flashing all over India for the past three days and also continuing to this very moment. Yes guys, you guessed it right.. Its the Unscrupulous Mumbai Attacks.. Now sitting back in the safety of my room in Chennai, thinking how little I could do to stop these barbarainism and how desperate i want to get myself involved to help out and even kill those behind it, makes me literally mad. And finally i decided i could flush out my anger by scribbling some thing in the internet. I dont know any body gonna read this. But watching six channels celebrating Mumbai attacks, day in and day out for the past three days made me an expert in terrorism like any other Indians. So i decided to write. Now guys lemme start my scribblings.

I was only ten, when i first heard the word terrorism (ofcourse in my mother tongue) and during the Kargil war, words and variants of this started pouring into my head. Terrorists, Militants, Infiltration, Intrution etc etc. But I still dont know what Terrorism is. And what are these people's real motives, except to create chaos and to bring about anarchism. And I dont really believe these people, whoever they are, will achieve their objectives by killing innocent people. Honestly I don't believe these people are Muslims proclaiming their religion. If they are, and have to do so they have to kill atleast 60o Million Hindus in India and about 3 Billion Christians worldwide. They know this is just not possible. As Mr. Shah Mehmood Qureshi Pointed out, these people have no religion, no race, no color. They are barbarians. But what are these barbarians doing in my country? Why are they here for? I expect no one is going to give me a correct answer.

I believe they are here to curb our economic development. India is a fast growing economy as they all say. And if India continue to grow at this level, then soon our country will place ourselves along with major economies in the world. But a major threat like the attacks in Mumbai, as it being the financial hub of the country will definitely shoo away the foriegn investors. The FDI, FPI and FII investments into our country will definetely cease for a while. And just think, who will benefit from this. It's defientely not Pakistan, because that country doen't have enough infrastructure even for themselves. But.. But.. It will definetely benefit China, as it is the alternate option for South Asian investors. The Chinese government may be ignorant about all this. But lobbysts in China may definetely have a hand in this sponsored terrorism. Otherwise how could the militants gets their hands on Chinese hand grenades and Chinese made AK-47s? Surely these things they dont sell in a super market. I know this is only my opinion. Never mind.

Coming back to Mumbai, what happened in Mumbai is absolutely a National Security lapse. Being warned by the cost guards of a possible sea route attack, the Government did nothing to stop that or find out any possibilities of such attack. And it took almost sixty hours capture the 20 odd Terrorists who ran amok with arms and ammunitions killing over a hundred. These all shows how the country is ill equipped to fight or even face a situation like this. No proper trained commandos, not enough advanced weapons, no security devices and finally not even a proper law to arrest the suspects, nothing. Still our commandos some how found a way to out maneuver the terrorists holed up in three very important places in the city along with hostages. The brave commandos of Navy, Army, and the NSG deserve a salute from the nation for their brave services amidst these short falls.

Next thing is how to prevent these situations from happening again in future. The government should take steps to track down the men behind this. Also the government need to increase the security levels atleast in metros like Mumbai. It can be done with a bit of help from every one of you. A bit of sacrifice of your privacy will help to save your life. Its a question of I or Us.

The time is 5.40 am, i haven't slept yet. I couldn't before the NSG track down the last 2-3 terrorists still inside the Taj Mahal Hotel. I seriously wish I have a rifle and I am there along with the Commandos.
