DIE HARD on Mumbai Streets


It was like watching live shoot of some Hollywood action flick, where there are futuristic terrorists with sophisticated weapons entering the financial capital of world's biggest democracy with storm, opened fire at various public places, seize two five star hotels and hold high profile guests at ransom. Than arrive cops, commandos, military and in a span of few hours a glittering and lively town turns into an urban battlefield.

Well, this would have looked appreciating if this was a movie, but it happened on the streets of Mumbai, and still happening as I write. Terrorism, which was never gone is back with a bang and this time it is looking more organized, better equipped, more powerful and less fearful. Welcome to the age of urban combat zone terrorism.

And while all these incidents are happening, Mr. Shivraj Patil is still clueless about the vulnerability of security system in India, which is crippled and dead, which cannot sense what is about to happen next and which has proved its incompetence over and over again in last 8 months. Mr. Home Minister, kindly stop being so numb, citizens of India are living their lives on gunpoint, and we would feel relived if you can formally withdraw yourself from your responsibilities because you are not able to shoulder them.

And this goes with all the politicians who will turn up after normalcy returns and repeat the same scripts which they have played on every such occasion. Meanwhile, I was just wondering where on earth can I find the so called saviour of marathi manoos Mr. Raj Thackray? Untraceable
