For so many of us, though far away from our home country, it is heart wrenching to look at the videos and pics from 26/11 at Mumbai online.
While the terrorists plundered with state of the art ammunition and guns, our police were doing their best with .303 rifles..Did you know that these rifles were the standard since 1889.. It is surprising how little we are concerned about the lives of people who defend us. And how little to nothing of our budget is alloted to secure state of the art machinery and vests for every constable and police in our country.
There was an idea of coming up with a central agency after Kargil for our national security that can foresee all the different states, but why that didn't come true is not known to me.
There are so many organizations that stand for human rights, I wonder how many such organizations exist that can take up this cause. May be that is something we should play an active role in.
I really hope that this does not result in any riots and my people stand as a nation in confronting the situation at hand.
It is not the time to blame but the time to stop, get a handle of the situation and make steps to move forward, than just bicker.
They say time is a great healer, but I pray that we never forget such acts of terrorism as it will help us work towards strengthening our country's internal security on all grounds.
Here are the names of all the innocent people who lost their lives during this gruesome attack.
