Anarchy

The Mumbai terrorist attacks - that are still on as I write this post - resemble a Bollywood potboiler.

80 have been killed and 250 injured (so far as reported by TOI).

The way the attacks have been (or, are being) conducted is audacious to say the least. The "I couldn't care less about law and order" attitude is concerning. I hate to sound judgmental but the current Government's spinelessness has been responsible for this. This is the seventh major attack in 2008 itself.

These are the other attacks that happened in 2008:

May 13, 2008: A series of six explosions tore through Jaipur, a popular tourist destination in the Rajasthan state in western India, killing 63 people and injuring more than 150.

July 25, 2008: Seven blasts in quick succession across the south Indian tech city of Bangalore killed one and injured more than 150 people.

July 26, 2008: Serial blasts in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad killed 45 people and injured more than 150. A group calling itself Indian Mujahideen claimed responsibility.

Sept. 13, 2008: Five bomb blasts in New Delhi's popular shopping centers left 21 people dead and more than 100 injured. The Indian Mujahideen claimed responsibility.

Sept. 27, 2008: A blast in a New Delhi flower market left one dead.

Oct. 30, 2008: Thirteen bomb blasts in India's northeastern state of Assam and three other towns left at least 61 people dead more than 300 injured

Unless we all take this seriously and take STRONG STEPS to curb terrorism such incidents will keep happening and innocent people will keep losing their lives.

Nothing is worse than a sense of helplessness which such incidents create. Ineffective governance in India is the sole reason for this.
