Lots of questions.

Like any patriotic Indian I feel saddened by the mindless massacre at the gateway and other places in Bombay. Unfortunately we did not react this way when there were blasts in most major cities in India in the course of the last year. My uneasy feeling is that we tend to react only when the numbers are high.

Why did people suddenly not rise up in unison over the killings in Kashmir ?
When the Guwahati blasts happened no one expressed this much angst ? Why can't we be one in our voice and unprejudiced in our anger towards terror ?

Condemnation is not the solution. Jaipur, Bangalore, Malegaon where given the same treatment.
In a classroom if a group of students behave badly - one smack where it hurts sometimes is the solution for the class to go on.

What happens when the school itself is attacked ? The parliament our country had been attacked in 2003. How would the United States have reacted if the White House is reacted.
Scores of people were killed in 1993 Bombay Blasts. The perpetrator is sipping cold coffee in his comfy confines.

This is certainly not a battle of equals. It is a battle of the patience versus cock sure stupidity. It is like the arrogant street speedster who believes that he can breach the gates of Rahul Dravid in the first delivery.

They say that when the patient get angry the world is not the same anymore.
