Mumbai Attacks

So it's happened again.

About 67 days after Mohan Chand Sharma of Delhi Police died of terrorist bullets, now Ashok Kamte, Vijay Salaskar and Hemant Karkare are dead of terrorist bullets - all Super Cops with a stellar record of service and bravery; all dead fighting for country led by a Prime Minister and a State led by a Chief Minister with a record of weak waffling when dealing with terror, crime or crisis.

My deepest condolences to the families of the Officers who gave their lives for the country which perhaps doesn't deserve such ultimate acts of love and sacrifice because as heroes die the majority watches with apathy concerned more with Sensex than law and order and national unity and pride.

Punjab, Kashmir and now this - the apathy is the same general apathy of it's them, not me or mine or what can I do? The press was as divisive then as it is now - gleefully reporting death and murder without taking a moral stand, the intelligentsia as removed from reality as it is now - citing socio-economic factors as reasons over cocktails and affairs without lending a single tangible helping hand to the displaced victims of terrorists, and the average Indian as self absorbed with money and more money like he/ she is today without a concern for the nation, society, right, ethics and all things that make people human beings.

Now its out of rural areas. This time its not the hoi-polloi killed in Mumbai train blasts of couple years ago. Now its in the playing grounds of the rich, so maybe its a bit more scary and a lot more real for the rich, but for the average guy its the same - India being attacked with impunity while the Prime Minister whimpers and the Opposition which had bent over backwards to those hijackers when it was in power talks tough.

It's wasting heroism to die for a country soft on terrorism where nothing changes except number of dead heroes increases while for its leaders and citizenry India as a nation takes a secondary position to self interest; and its wasting heroism on a country when:

• Abu Salem - the master mind for the previous Bombay blasts - receives preferential treatment in a Mumbai jail
  
• Dawood Ibrahim is still a free man - for the record a known Muslim criminal who has funded attacks against India and the man behind Abu Salem, and known as India's arch enemy, lives in Pakistan and despite their numerous meetings the Weak Sikh has never asked Geroge Bush to help get Dawood extradited to India
  
• India doesn't do enough to protect it's citizens - AFTER HEZBOLLAH ATTACKS ON ISRAEL AND IN THE POST 9/11 WORLD FIGHTING TERRORISM IS A GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP, ALLIANCE, COMMITMENT AND THAT INDIA HAS NOT SOUGHT HELP FROM ISRAEL AND USA PROACTIVELY MAKES IT SOFT ON TERROR, BECAUSE IT IS UNDER EQUIPPED IN TERMS OF SURVEILLANCE EQUIPMENT AND MODERN COMBAT TECHNOLOGY AND PRACTICES - attacks on the Parliament and trains shows its soft underbelly repeatedly, and also its unwillingness to fight terror with deadly force.
  
• India's lack of knowledge and commitment to deal with terrorism with world class ability, agility and capability means that the Police fight sophisticatedly trained and totally mind washed freaks without adequate infrastructural and tactical support so as a Cop you walk into the line of fire alone without your country or department giving you a trained team of Psychologists there to engage the terrorists in talks - in Mumbai why were Imams and Mullahs, and Psychologists not involved early on?
• The combat armor provided to Police Officers seems of inferior quality otherwise how would bullets penetrate a bullet proof vest - do experts agree that Indian police is armed with the right protective wear?
  
• Why die for a country where despite their failures to safeguard life and property both Manmohan Singh and Vilas Rao Deshmukh get to keep their jobs
  

World's new self proclaimed financial super power that calls itself India Shining looks weak and unprepared as it's brought to its knees by an unknown sect of rabid dogs who for over 36 hours violently hold hostage India's financial and fashion capital while (Shiny) Indians hopelessly blunder through the situation - attackers even used a Police vehicle for random drive by shooting. What makes India Shining really India Stupid is its total unpreparedness - an attack of this magnitude had to be planned for months if not longer, and that Indian intelligence did not hear a peep about it shows how tight lipped Muslims are when reporting something suspicious, and that Indian intelligence agencies have no intelligence gathering capabilities at Muslim grassroots level so be it Delhi or Train blasts before that or Mumbai attacks now India Shining is a blind, mute, deaf sitting duck one can kill at random, so why die for it when there'll be nothing except a medal for your family as martyr after after martyr has died while opportunist fool after fool has prospered and ruled?

To repay the debt to the heroes and to be really India Shining India needs to: get Dawood, hang Salem, tap every Madrassa and militant organizations' offices, get foreign Intelligence experts as RAW etc. have failed, train Indian police and para military forces to become experts in combating terrorism, stop all trade and commerce and cricket matches with Pakistan until proven that that nation is not behind attacks on India. AND Indian Press and Politicians UNIVOCALLY need to condemn terrorism and suppot execution of enemies of the State despite ideology platforms, otherwise they talk while heroes perish and its time they shut up and walked the patriotic talk where India comes first. Otherwise India is just a weak, 3rd world nation gotten lucky with its luck about to run out as luck and cowards rarely coexist for long.

Thank you Officers Sharma, Kamte, Salaskar, Karkare - may your families live long and be proud that you had the courage in the land of the weak and may your name live long in the land of the living dead.

Its Aamir Khan now?

No one, repeat, no one, and if you didn't get it, NO ONE, can hide or escape from the deep, probing eyes and the vast reach of Indian Justice System. Its wisdom, maturity and fairness make it a God even bigger than all the Indian God Men put together - sorry God Men Ji but let truth be known to mankind - and as the saying goes "sadhu se bada tarazu" which translated is "साधू से बडा तराजू"

And its no wonder or surprise that Indian Justice System rocks. After all so many judges and magistrates are followers of these bearded, smiling man led organizations - STOP RIGHT HERE, DOUBTER(s), these ever smiling bearded men are qualified in subjects that Harvard, IIT, MIT, even primary school in Kalba Devi cannot match because these qualifications are handed down directly from God above to the ever smiling bearded man - a beard because God demands beard, and God demands a frozen, pasted smile that denotes inner peace and happiness not retarded-ness, understand that, and never forget - so judges and magistrates trained locally in humble colleges in ho hum aspects of jurisprudence need exposure to God taught men to become better men, women and if they think they are cows then better cows - after all who are we to stop someone from believing that they are a man, woman, cow, alien, evolved, enlightened, Superman - and it's been fantastic. Indian Courts have a halo around their unwashed, unpainted, grime and spit stained facades from where might pronouncements are made, like this beautiful story (goose bumps say it all) reported in the web edition of Indian Express:

http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Nonbailable-warrant-issued-against-Aamir-Khan/231503/

This man, Aamir Khan, if he is a man - what type of a Khan-man does movies like Rang De Basanti, Lagaan and Dil Chahta Hai - real Khans showoff their massive Popeye (the sailor) chests or in absence of hair plugs and thigh sized biceps have these uncontrollable facial tics - that's not spastic that Indian acting and emoting at its finest - and act in films like Partner and all these movies starting with the letter K. Okay so this man, if he is a man, (Aamir Khan, man, woman, cow, who are you, what is your purpose of being, do you know where you converge with earth's axis and do you know that at a certain time the apex of your aura can be linked to sun's penumbra to create immense power in your loins, and a clear idea of what you should be based on who you are - Viagra can do that too, mixed with a good Psychologist). By the way not saying that this entity Aamir Khan needs Viagra or a Psychologist. Hasten to add neither suggesting that other Khans do.

Okay so this Aamir Khan who ever he is makes these films and top of that insults the Indian Flag. Flog him for that!

It's bad to insult the flag, and I have always taken exception to Star and Stripes and Union Jack bikinis and little things strippers wear. Can you imagine a तिरंगा कच्छा?

No, seriously, if the constitution (thus the law) mandates how the flag is treated then the flag has to be treated that way, not only because you must love the flag or you're a traitorous scum son of India, but also because it's the law and laws must be obeyed until they are amended constitutionally.

We (at least my household, including my mother-in-law) demand to know what Aamir Khan did to insult the flag, and why? As a public figure he is accountable to answer to us - so AK why did you do it, Man? - and as a citizen he was accountable to appear in the court when he was first asked to appear.

Breaking the law is wrong, period. Whether is is driving over sleeping people or killing rare species or hurling an insult at the Tiranga.

And the courts must stop law breakage! And they're doing a terrific job by issuing this warrant against Aamir Khan. First the court ordered him to appear, when he didn't, then the court issued a warrant. Thank you Shailandra Sharma for moving the court and thank you Shri B.S. Muvel for letting your court be moved (B.S is the magistrate sir).

Dawood is on a rampage against the country, Salem is on Indian soil (jail is built on soil, you know), for crimes against India, using foreign lawyers paying them how, only God knows - राम जाने - Salman Khan is still free, Manu Sharma and his ilk play the Courts like a yo yo, it takes years to get a court hearing, some estimates peg 300 years for all cases in queue to come up for a hearing - and we are wasting Courts time by issuing such warrants?

Why not throw cases like this as being frivolous? Tax payers monies should be used to speed processes not coddle Shailendra Sharmas. While cases rot in court queues corruption festers and waiting destroys morale and spirit. Criminals remain at large, society waits in limbo and property owners and properties suffer ruinous damage - which adds to urban decay. Almost all of Mumbai - even the tony though not tony looking - Colaba and Marine Drive - are dotted with time ravaged, uncared for buildings, uglier than ugly, wearing a slum look - and mostly because of Courts' inertia in settling tenant rights and landlord responsibility issues spanning decades. For decades tenants - occupants is a better word - have paid ludicrously below market rents and for those decades property owners have had no incentive to improve or maintain their buildings, making Mumabi look the way it does instead of say Vancouver, all new and shiny. Should the courts evict those who've lived almost free for generations? Yes, because they have to pay market value or move. Simple - and we're not talking about uprooting slum dwellers, these are usurpers. So the Courts need to work faster so Criminals are incarcerated faster, Mumbai steps out of it's decaying infrastructure and India can shed its image as a 3rd world corrupt nation.

This is not condoning insulting the Indian Flag it is asking the courts to get their priorities right. Mr. Khan could have been be fined or ordered to issue a public apology, rather than add another case to the long, meandering queues that exacerbate the misery of those waiting for justice to happen.

Lack of Remorse Indian Style

Mel Gibson goes on his knees apologizing pillar to post for his drunken comments about the Jews, Bill Clinton asked for the nation's forgiveness for his Monica tryst, Corporate Plunderers tell America how sorry they are for robbing their corporations. And its not only the US. Japanese say sorry to Chinese, Germany to families of holocaust victims. The point is when caught people say sorry and are or pretend to be remorseful, embarrassed, chastised and generally give the appearance of wanting to change or having reformed.

But in India, being rich and famous or being the fruit of loins of rich and famous means being a criminal and flaunting it.

Sanjay Dutt should've given a good part of his earnings to the Bombay blast victims - actually civil cases should've made him bankrupt by now - and asked India's forgiveness for hobnobbing with the worst types of criminals - traitors and enemies of India.

Salman Khan ran over some poor homeless sleeping on the roads of Bombay, confirming that the poor who had no dignity also have no safety, even on Government property. Then he goes and shoots an endangered species. So neither people nor wildlife is safe from this man.

The BMW drivers in Delhi who mowed down people don't seem to be doing their acts of penance, nor does Manu Sharma appear in public preaching against violent drunkenness.

And why should they when the society - fans, the press - coddle them? Instead of outrage India feels badly for Munna Bhai and Prem, when the thoughts should be for the victims. If the actors' movies were shunned they would leap to reform, but both men are raking in huge money because the press doesn't ask for a boycott of their films, and the fans, average Indians, don't care about morality. Therefore more people like them will kill at will and mix with killers without fears, which will make criminals stronger because they have celebrity (powerful) friends.

It is a malaise of the Indian soul, perhaps a moral and ethical impotence borne of being a slave nation since about 1100 AD, not to seek and expect justice.

Dawood Ibrahim has waged a war of terror against India yet India has not put a reward on his head, nor pushed hard for his extradition. Saddam Hussein and his sons were turned by a reward seeker, so rewards work, so why is India not aggressively getting him.

Star TV reported Abu Salem's assets in the US but have those assets been confiscated, and in the meanwhile who is paying for his legal defence?

No one is safe if India allows these men to act in these heinous ways, and India Shining means accountability and responsibility at all levels at all times, otherwise the Shine gets tarnished.

In a country where the enemies of the India and Indians within and without run amok without fear of retribution there needs an awakening, which simply means saying, "enough, no more bullshit"

And it starts with rejecting idiot fodder called Newspapers unless one admits being an idiot and needing sustenance from them daily - non idiots may like Punjab Kesari and India Today. And it continues with rejecting en-masse politicians with criminal records and lack of public and professional performance record.
