Damm I had a fun read.. ;) It was not a complete waste of time though. Went through all the posts and I spent my afternoon sometimes yawning and sometimes just smilling that even in Qatar, what have we (I and you including) have become.
15 Saudis were supposed to be among the acts of 9/11 in the US of A, but that is not much hyped. IRA for decades has been terrorising the UK, but they have not been hyped that much either. Then there are the Spaniards, the Serbs, the Croats, the Albanians, Algerians, the Indonesians, the Philippinos and many more. If you wanna have look at State sponsored acts of violence, then look at Israel. Still living and enjoying all the benefits a country should enjoy. They are not least bugged or bothered with what the others think of them and to top it all they claim it with all their national glory and yet they are not termed as a terrorist state.
India is a land of many Religions and Languages and then within religions there are many castes and same is the case with the languages having many dialects so to speak. Even if a bird dies in India, its said to have been killed by a Pakistani and not by an Indian as most of the time the case has been. I know this as a fact as I have very personally been through this myself.
I was once in India with my above 70 year old parents for my medical treatment. I was at that time a 16 years of age wheel chair bound person and still I use crutches as a walking aid. I had to for almost 2 years visit the Indian Embassy here in Doha for the Visa process. Then when I got the visa, me and both of my parents flew to India. We had to register ourselves to the nearest police station to our hospial where I was staying for 3 months. My parents stayed with me in the hospital. Every alternate days during weekdays and on daily basis on a weekend I had to present myself along with my old parents to the police station accompanied by the hospital staff. Showing that we are still here and we do not have any intentions to go anywhere. This felt really really bad and humiliated and thank God, that it was my last and my final trip ever to India. I wish no more of visiting such a jail like place ever again. This was my personal experience and I do not need anyone telling me that I am not telling the truth and I will just simply say to hell with your comment.
Saying that I also have Indian friends. I know them ever since we were in our pampers. Playing in the same streets and living just right next door to each other we have had a good time in life and still do. They are married and to plus the points, I even know their wives since we were all in 9th - 10th standards. So they are like my house members and vice versa.
The Indian media has a tendency to present every news like a blockbuster hollywood movie and I am sure you will agree to this fact. The news should be presented as a news and not as a sensation. It should be honest and it should not be biased on anyone political or regional agenda. The moment there is a fire shot, the media starts blamming Pakistan. What I mean or what I am trying to say is what proof they had that it was a Pakistani who started all this? There are amost 33 Militant/Separatist orginazations in India alone that are fighting the rule of law. Not to mention Militant Political entities like we all know who I mean. No one thought that it might be a homegrown culprit who wrecked the lives of innocents many of them being the single bread earners of their family's livlihood?
The distance between Karachi and Mumbai is 500 nautical miles (approx. 850KM). The coast from end of the disputed maritime Pakistan-Indian boundary is littered with coastal cities, ports, fishing zones, off shore oil installation, Fixed Indian Naval radars, aerial and ship based radars and an active blue water force. Not to mention couple of ports in between Karachi and Mumbai with each port having its rules for ships entering and leaving the ports. How could a slow moving hijacked trawler move undetected from all of this and reach Mumbai and then (being hijacked) be able to get permission to enter Bombay harbor.
Even after all this they reached the land. Got into taxis and when getting off of them, blasted them with hand gernades and then opening fire on whoever came in the way. Where was the police, the so called best commandos and the security services. An AK-47 or whatever they were carrying cannot be hidden in a backpack along with other ammunition unless its not a medium sized one. Personally I have never even seen a gun or a rifle in my real life, but this is what I understand from the net.
Its all the blame game that was started by the media and then the government covering its own mistakes went with the flow of the masses with out any initial information. If they had all this information, why was not it stopped when it was being carried out. Why it took almost 3days to get hold of the culprits. Is the security so relaxed in India where the communal riots are so frequent. They should have been head over heels all the time. Is it possible for just 10 people to keep hostage a nation or a country for more then 3 days with out the local support? It is said according to the Indian media reports that there have been a training of 24 people and only 10 attacked. What will happen when the remaining of the 14 also just barge into a city undetected?
Whoever the culprits were and who ever their masters were and who ever their supporters were, they have succedded big time. Thier mission has been an accomplishment. They have cause the destrcution and have taken away the hand that fed a hungry mouth of his/her children and I do not think that their qualms of pain will rest untill the mercinaries have been judged by a proper court of law. And it should not even after that. I for one and my whole nation of Pakistan deeply sympathize with the Indians in this regard and may the departed souls rest in peace inthe heavens above - Amen. But taking this as an opportunity I would like to recommend/suggest that the blame game should be stopped. It will lead us (you and I) nowhere.
