This attack was well synchronised as every terrorist attack has been.We in South Asia, have seen many a 9/11 before 2001.We, have been through operation Blue Star in 1984, when Mrs.Indira Gandhi, our Prime Minister, had devastated, the Golden Temple, Amritsar, dominated by SantJarnail Singh Bhrindanwale and his Terrorism forces with a strategic model of PUNJAB as KHALISTAN-An Independent State.This dream was quashed later by Mr.KPS GILL the DGP Punjab for which he has not yet received a Bharat Ratna in the 1990s.This OPERATION BLUE STAR was in June, 1984 and by Oct.31st 1984, Mrs.Gandhi was no more killed by her own security bodygaurds,Satvant and Beant Singh and up came,Mr. Rajiv Gandhi,a former pilot, her son, another elected, Prime Minister of India's functioning anarchy called the modern democracy when the social human and physical infrastructural needs in India is an enormous amout of $150 Billion investments per year,creation of jobs,creation of education avenues,first class delivery systems not for the Taj and Trident and Oberoi and Marriot Hotel Classes but for the masses of the nation which had been envisageged on lines of peace and education by Swami Vivekananda,Abul Kalam Azad,Sir Syed Ahmad Khan,and most significantly Mahatma Mohandas karamchand Gandhi-The Fater of the Nation India.Rajeev who was to meet a similar bloody death by May 21st 1991 by the [LTTE] Terror outfit for Tamil self rule in Sri Lanka by a woman suicide bomber,and I remember, the vivid reporting from Mark Tulley,BBC Correspondent,India, at 11.30 p.m, India Time, programme News Desk,World Briefings,as I came home from attending a marriage and put my short wave SONY World System, on.This I could rarely believe, having just taken, my master's final exam's in ECONOMICS at Lucknow University in 1992,the year of a general election.This was long before a Mohd.Attah bombed the World Trade Centre [WTC] in New York on 9/11-2001 and the launch against THE WAR AGAINST TERROR.What followed was the US led war on Iraq,the rising Oil prices,the fall of Iraq,the hanging of Saddam Hussein,the trial of Saddam,the swing back to democracy in Iraq,The troubles with Iran and US,The Democratisation of Afghanistan,the devastation in Afghanistan and the backup of the Musharraf backed Military Regime in Pakistan by the USA Govt.because USA was constantly backing Pakistan to kill the terrorists, until Dec.2007 when Benazir Bhutto was killed by the Taliban.Every year during our National Festivals like Diwali and Holi we witness such unholy acts of bombs bursting in Chandni Chowk at the Heart of new Delhi and elsewhere.The Akshaydham temple captives by Pakistan based were Beslan Russia type terrorism and I can go on quoting incidents after incidents of the war by terror.
The night of 26/11/2008 when cabs with people inside them where burnt to death.The Taj Hotel service sector employees died to save their guests.Sabina from The Times Of India ,India's leading daily newspaper, all night, under her bed, lying on the ground, sending sms messages, to her friends and family, to save her.But by the morning, SABINA was just another body count,another corpse.
AHMAD AJMAL KASAV, the 21 year old from Faridkot, the only terrorist out of the 10 to have been caught alive by the Indian Armed Forces,NSG-National Security Gaurd,Police,ATS-Anti Terrorism Squad,has had been a casual laborer from Faridkot to Multan to Lahore back to training in Manshera, doing well in arms training, picking English words very well and studied till Class -4,he loves to eat meat daily,comes from the butcher caste background ,came from a poor family of 5 childeren and his father, too was a labor cum butcher, so was his elder brother but here,in Mumbai from 23-11-2008, he was donning blue jeans, having AK-47 Gun in his hand,speaking English,was a College student from Mauritius,having valid identity card proof,SIM Cards and Mobile Phone.It is believed that his kit and kin in Faridkot had been passed on Rs.1.5 Lakh as a PRIZE-MONEY for his 57 killings in this fateful PROJECT in India.
Now this is modern day terrorism in the wake of fundamenentalist forces maybe of any religion.This has to be killed from the genesis of its idea and ideology.Religion is for the good of man and not for the killing and blood smaering of our fellow brothers and sisters in an era of irreversible GLOBALIZATION based on 5-I's of Individual consumer,investment,industry,information technology and international trade/Business.Thiskind of indiscriminate killing,hijacking,keeping tourists as prisnors in 5 Star Hotels or keeping childeren as prisnors in schools or putting up to ransom and killing a religious congregation by another religious terror body must never be tolerated by a civil society based on civic norms.
Terror must not be tolerated by niether India nor Pakistan nor USA nor G-20 nor EU nor OECD nor ASEAN nor MERCOUSUR nor NAFTA or any other Trade Block or Nation.
