Is It Money Or Stupidity ?
This is not to belittle the tragedy which struck Mumbai, but frankly this a-minute-silence stuff made me more sad than consoling.
Same day, there were blasts in Srinagar as well, where also people died. Some tourists also died due to grenade attacks earlier. Worst than that, 200 people were killed by Naxalites in Dantewada in Chhattisgarh two-three days back.
Didn't they deserve a candle or a minute of silence? If only this( silence thing) had happened in Mumbai, it would still had made some sense. But whole sarkari and media machinery all over India stood to pray only for Mumbai blast victims? Just because Mumbai brings money and others don't!
A Meher Bhargava or Jessica Lal will evoke emotion, while others who are living a dog's life and are even forced to die like a dog have no voice!
This is why there is a growing alienation in the remote corners of the country and which is in turn giving rise to Naxal and terrorist activity.
And anyway, this silence, candles, and now getting repetitive and nauseating Mumbai-spirit stuff is not going to deter these terrorists. Instead, they will laugh at us. An immediate concrete action was needed, and it didn't happen.
Instead we are having these ridiculous ceremonial stuff. Days are not far when people will walk nude(like in west) to protest animal fur. We are reaching to that point.
