@Baskar
True. The objective should be the ‘terror camps’ and not the populace of another country.

@Psych Babbler
The reason they reacted with horror has to do with ‘Taj’ and mass psychology.
Yes, why not the Mumbai Train Blasts. Or, blasts in Assam, Kashmir, Bangalore and, sadly, etc…

@Samata
Earthquakes are caused by the ‘unknown’. If we knew him/her, we would have nuked the entity. Now starting from Mumbai suburbs, a lady runs all the way to the Taj Mahal hotel, ignoring the various deaths on the way, and cries for humanity at the footsteps of Taj.

Youth should react, once they are in their senses.

How ironic that is isn’t it ! The masses – the way they think, the way they react – its all so politically and societ-ly driven. And wow! I was amazed what what the media i.e. the news channels were upto. Adrenaline all pumped and and super excited… I hate the language they use – its always so pro-terrorists… and again supporting their particular political parties as it shows in all their news.

Even in earthquakes or rains – forget that… only out of hunger and homelessness so many people die everyday in our country. Greater than the death toll of this attack… … … … …

Its sad that our highly corrupt and hopeless system gets attention every time something ‘happens’. And this time it was a BIG bang.

From now on , I feel, things might turn out to be better than before OR get worse than ever…

& i also very strongly feel that its HIGHLY important and necessary for the us,youth of our nation to react – with the spirit of renaissance.

Considering how de-sensitised people in the world have become, it is indeed surprising that they reacted with horror to the current terrorist attacks. But, whilst I feel for the people that have lost their lives, I couldn’t help but wonder — weren’t the train blasts in Bombay in 2006 much worse? Wasn’t the death toll then much more? Or does it not matter because it was just your everyday person that was killed as compared to foreigners? Just wondering…

Enjoyed your post.

I am in line with what you are saying.

No one should die unnecessarily, out of carelessness, apathy and indifference.

I recently read a report which stated that if India prevented deaths from malnutrition in children at the rate that BANGLADESH does, we will save 2,00,000 children EVERY YEAR!

But this does not get any publicity in our media.

I too feel sorry for the dead in this terror attack, but we should not get ourselves hijacked into a totally anti-terror agenda.

Terror has to be counteracted, but indifference is killing much more people.
