Well, I would ask him “Is Obama president of India?” why would he even bother what happens to Indians when our own rulers are not?

We have heard comments from our own politicians who say “It is not a big deal” and that a few number of deaths from a population so huge is nothing great.

Attack on America was more severe as per the world standards. Why? Because Americans escalated the issue hugely. They believed that the outbreak was a question on their existence. They gave an answer known to everyone without a second thought.

Now think what happened after 26/11? Media hype, public display of dismay, a few comments from politicians, few documents floated around the parliament, public warnings given to Pakistan, promises made to strengthen security, USA asked for intervention and then? We were back to normal as if nothing big happened and forgot everything as a story.

Why did we require USA to take decisions for us? Can’t we behave like a self-proclaimed independent democratic country with authority to make choices? For any action we take whether it is a nuclear deal or prevention of terrorism, we need USA to guide us. Why? Didn’t we get freedom 60 years back? Or have we just transferred our rulings from UK to USA?

After 9/11 USA attacked Afganistan, tortured everyone they felt could be a suspect, increased security in the country but India didn’t even have guts to give guns to policemen.

It is a shame on our country that even after having a history of huge number of attacks since independence and thousands of people killed, we are still waiting to be given verdict for 2008 cases.

May be these attacks were very small for the politicians who live comfortably in their AC bedrooms. It was not just 26/11 but numerous other attacked and some of them claimed even more lives than 26/11. A series of 7 trains bombing during the evening rush hour in Mumbai in 2006 took hundreds of lives. But the much hyped 26/11 attack was the result of the fact that even riches were victimized this time.

Had it been just another attack with hundreds of deaths of normal, not so rich citizens then it would have been just another sad story and Indians would have never even dared to compare it with 9/11.

It is not the USA who is going to feed us but we Indians are supposed to wake up and stand up for our own safety. It is hard time that our Government honchos realize that other people living in this country are also humans like them.

Delay in passing of Lokpal Bill, Jaitapur verdict shows how important are we for our government. Our lives are not important. In fact in India:

Value of life = the amount of money the life owns

Have more money and you will be heard even after death. But terrorists have stopped differentiating us on the basis of income and have started targeting the rich ones as well.

So when a poor and a rich, both are exposed to extreme terror, our Government should take strong actions and not just remain asleep. But I wonder what action will they take, may be you can expect an introduction of “National Safety Tax”.

Here I would also like to mention a link which exposes the 26/11 happenings:
