Mumbai Horror
Mumbai also known has the city that does not sleep. It’s one city that is filled with people from all over India and from different religions. Many flock here to make a living , to help them cope up with poverty which such a rich nation like India is not able to provide to them.
Well I m just trying to find my words to pen down something which hopefully would inspire someone to do something about the Mumbai attacks. I don really know how successful I would be but here are my views.
Has I watched the news channel, the only thing that I could see was hostages, commandos in action, explosions, gun shots, fire . Hell on earth.! I am a catholic and looking at such a thing going on just teared up my heart. I was shaken, it all looked like a action movie more then a reality. I had never thought that such things could happen in reality, now I feel I was more in a dream world. Now that it is all over everyone is pointing their finger towards Pakistan all Muslims are looked down upon has the main culprits for all the terror attacks across the world, my first question to you is this, is pointing fingers the solution to terror ?
Majority of you would say, trace the terrorist gang, kill their lead and the master mind behinds the attacks and we are on our way to conquer terror, right ? Fight terror with terror, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth and the world has achieved peace and harmony , right ? Wrong ! the world will only be marching towards more problems.
The root cause of all these problems are hurt sentiments, hurt ego, selfishness and god only knows what more. I see only one solution to all this problems, an open dialogue with all the terrorist gang. Find out what is causing them to do this, in what way can such terror attacks be avoided. Aren’t we the same people who ensure we take in only a catholic teacher in a catholic school, aren’t we the same people who ensure only a hindu Brahmin should be part of organization . Isn’t it we who have slowly started creating discord in humanity ? Small discords, accumulates and lead finally to terror attacks, who is finally responsible here, isn’t it “I” ???
We only react but don’t act . Have I prayed for those who are dead ? have I approached the priest for a candle vigil ? Have I promised myself to vote for a better government ? Have I promised my self to fight social injustice specially against my fellow men ? Have I developed a phobia against other religion which in turn have lead me to start hating my fellow men ? Have I forgiven those who have hurt me or am still seeking for revenge ? Am I on the right path before I can be judgmental about others ? Have I intimated the police whenever I see violence around me or just preferred to stay away from it since it none of my business ??? Am I responsible too for the terror around ? Will I change and be a better human being ???
The above article is dedicated to all those who have lost their lives in the recent Mumbai horror. May their soul rest in peace

also, for it to work, the terrorist groups themselves have to have an open mind. what do u do when they are in no mood for compromise at all?
