Mumbai or Bomb-bay

It hurts. It hurts even more when you are born and and brought up here. When you have spent entire 5 -6 decades of your existence experiencing, romancing and living the city. It really hurts to see that city of your dreams, your existence, your character is being raped. Day in day out. By terrorists and by politicians.

It is national shame that once again the so called safest city of the nation has been subjected to this kind of ghastly terror attack that 14 police men including senior officers have lost their lives. Magnitude of the preparations, planning and the execution of the attack can be imagined that even after 40+ hours the battle still continues.


Who is responsible. I put 100% blame on the politicians. Irrespective of their status and party affiliations.


Congress & NCP are ruling at the state as well at the centre. And the terrorism has been encountered practically across the country many a times during their stint. However they have no action plan to counter the it effectively. Nor do they have genuine will to do so. Except for repeated rhetoric of zero tolerance and stern action by Prime Minister and Home minister after each occurrence.


BJP and Shiv Sena are projecting themselves as the next government. At state as well as at the centre. However these parties have devised new way to identify the terror and have a different set of rules and perhaps the policy also for Islamic and Hindu Terror. One more clear way to endorse terrorism for rotten political reasons to serve their selfish interests.


MNS is preparing hard to make its presence felt during the ensuing state elections. But can fight and beat and kill only innocent citizens of the nation. At this point of horror in Mumbai none of these sainiks have come to the rescue of Mumbaikars.


Where were both the Senas who claim to own the city when security personnel were fighting the terrorists in the streets and dyeing for their Mumbai.


Do they find no role to play when gun battles with terrorists are fought and grenades are hurled on hapless citizens. Or do they find helpless north Indians more damaging and dangerous for Mumbai who have no weapons to encounter their might of vandalism.


After every attack the blame game starts between political stalwarts abusing each other for their action or inaction. Government of the day will call it a cowardly act and condemn it. Why don't they understand their duty is to stop the terror. It is mandatory for them. Nobody bothers what they are saying. People want it to be encountered effectively. It is obligatory for them to behave like a leader.

Converting Bombay into Mumbai is not enough until the goddess Mumba is awaken to protect the city. It is for those individuals occupying the chair of power and position and authority to awaken her.


But unfortunately our politicians time and again have miserably proved themselves nothing more than just a bunch of sadist, hypocrite, unconcerned, corrupt, self serving and shameless creatures. They have only shown excellent results in dividing the society and justifying the ill governance in the name of caste, creed, religion and region.

Even after this attack on Bombay or call it Mumbai to satisfy their rusty ego if they don't get their act together and continue to behave in the same impotent and dirty manner it is very much possible that next target of the attack could be these heartless politicians themselves. Amen.
