bhattathiri let us remember the victims of the 7/11 terrorist attack in Mumbai.This day has changed the history of the India .People have seen cruelty in the original form and some have not even recovered from the great mental depression. Ne sweetenings words can satisfy those affected. It appears that Mumbai city is stiil not fully recoveerd from that shock. Billions of rupees have been lost and business and economy is affected heavily.
Let us express our feelings towards the sufferers of the tragedy and share with all some of the feelings of millions of educated on "Terrorism" and about the difference it has made in our lives, individual and collective.
"Terrorism is the the calculated use of violence (or threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimindation or coercion or instilling fear among civilians creating anarchy and pandemonium. The targets of terrorist acts can be government officials, military personnel, people serving the interests of governments, or civilians and women and children are the most affected one. Acts of terror against military targets tend to blend into a strategy of guerrilla warfare. According to one view, one person’s terrorist is another person’s freedom fighter. Random violence against civilians (noncombatants) is the type of action."
The further events have revealed that this fanatic ideology was inculcated into receptive minds of the youth who become the instruments of terror that revealed itself at the W.T.O., London and other important places,in the world. Fanaticism drives away all reason and thus persons with fanatic ideas act like robots, rather, like animals. Fanaticism is the fuel by which the machine of terrorism works.
Fanaticism has been there in human life whenever people have been deprived of their spiritual food. What is this spiritual food? The disciplines or values of life that lead persons to realize their oneness with the Universe and with God and thus come to love humanity and God resulting into peace evrywhere.
The Vedas, the oldest available scriptures to humanity,The Holy Bible, The Holy Koran and all other religious scriptures say that all this creation is God alone and should love each other -. It implies that this Divinity is in every creature as its fundamental, inalienable nature. That is why Swami Vivekananda proclaimed the `Divinity of man’ in his many lectures in America. He thundered, `Ye, the divinities on earth, sinners? It is a libel to call a man so’.
When this idea of the Divinity of man is widely taught, not only in our schools and colleges but also in all churches, mosques, pagodas, Tabenacles and Temples where most innocent minds throng in millions, then only people will get their highest respect and regard, irrespective of their gender, wealth, intelligence, power etc. Then only the very idea of harming anyone, be it for any cause, would appear abhorring. Then alone can violence be radically uprooted from society.
In spite of the utmost technical and science education that people are getting now a days, the love and respect for fellowmen as a brother in God is lacking. This is what has made our scientists and politicians prepare nuclear weapons, biological bombs, ultimately killing all the fellow-feelings in the hearts of people. Is there any wonder if such people indulge in wholesale destruction of their fellow-beings as in the `program of Hitler’ or `the tragedy This is the mental impact that Terrorism of September 11 has made on the thinking men like us.
The difference it has made in our life is that it has awakened a sense of urgency to educate people against falling a prey to the `brain-washing’ ideologies masked under various garbs . In killing innocents, there can be no religion except Demon’s dance.
Men who join such fanatic’s training camps are generally the poor and the deprived. They are `brainwashed’ to think that by killing others not of their fold, will confer on them the gift of `Heaven and its unending joys’ as a reward for their religious and pious act!
This is made possible in general where people don’t have basic freedoms of democratic rule, but are lead by nose as it were by selfish politicians. We have to stop all help to such non-democracies and pseudo-democracies. We have to push on with meaningful education supplemented with scientific skills and spiritual `values’ that will make our men and women not only efficient but also good. Goodness can be summarized as truthfulness, a feeling of brotherhood of whole humanity, a sympathy to serve the needy and a firm conviction that humanity is one Divine family and to hurt anyone would mean bringing unhappiness on ourselves. Let us make a simple prayer thus: `Oh God, please bless us all with the will to spread these ideas of love and brotherhood to all our brothers from wherever irrespective of cast, creed and religion.
Let all the nations, organisations, cultural societies join together to spread the worst after effect of terrorism. bhattathiri

Nitin Article is very nice. This is terrorist activity. They have done it to disturb us, to spread religious riots in India. Now its our duty to avoid religious riots to defeat them. We should stand behind our Police, Our Govt. to find out culprits as early as possible and maintain piece in India.
Maharashtra Govt. should take lesson from this. Our politicians and ministers are always busy in torturing each other , searching for power,fame, and money. They should look after their duties instead of all this. Administrative officers are also busy in collecting money (Corruption), there transfer and inter department compition. They should come out of it to avoid such things in future otherwise YOUNG GENERATION WILL HAVE TO MAKE ONE MORE REVOLUTION.

Sanket Terdal Article is good one. 7/12/2006
Indian 8 blasts in a day in Mumbai, and 6 blasts in Kashmir. Its not a normal thing, but our Police and Intelligence Agencies are fast asleep and will never wake up. Its a straight case of Indian Security Forces and Intelligence Agencies failure.

The second and most important thing is that Congress government should be blamed for the deaths of so many innocent people, because when BJP was in power, it tried to suppress SIMI (Students of Islamic Movement) and nothing happened in India. But during the congress reign, in order to get votes from Muslim community, they are again supporting organizations like SIMI and MY India (Muslim Youth of India) which are known for their astringent stand against anything that Indian's do. Anything that happens inside India, can't be done without help from those who are staying in India. This is very much visible that there is an involvement of Indian Muslims in the bomb attacks and there will again be involvement of Indian Muslims in this type of brutal attacks on our sovereignty. And this cannot be stopped unless our government, security agencies and all Indians learn to respect our own country and its security!

Despite of the fact that in past couple of decades, all the cases of terror-attacks showed that Indian Muslims are brain-washed and used against India, it is also a fact that the problem is not solely with Indian Muslims, but people outside India (and some from within India also) are trying to lure and misguide them (Indian Muslims) and make them act against India, their own country.

Anonymous Shiv Sainiks are surely rogue, but are not that bad. One should not forget that because of the fact that Sainiks fought against jobs distribution to out of Maharashtra people, maharashtrians could survive and are having jobs, one should not forget that because of Shiv Sainiks only Marathi people are able to live peacefully in Mumbai!

Congress is the WORST party in INDIA!

I would rather say ... the reason behind India's backwardness is nothing but selfish policies of the political parties like Congress, Bahujan Samaj Party and Janata Dal. These parties do not have anything to do with India and its development. They can sell their own mother for their gain!

Imagine a situation where high sensitive explosives are being imported in India, people are trained and sent to perform this highly well planned attack. ...

Do you think Indian politicians, Security Agencies and Police did not know about it??? NOT POSSIBLE!
1) Police took at least 30 minutes to reach the sites
2) No politician lost his/her family members in this attack
3) Even after initial findings of massive amount of explosives (RDX), rather a high sensitive and more destructive explosive material went un-noticed from the scanner of Indian Security Agencies, Police and border checks...!

QUITE UNBELIEVABLE!

Sure enough ... POLITICIANS, POLICE & INDIAN INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES DID KNOW ABOUT THE ATTACK ... BUT THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY WERE GIVEN ENOUGH AMOUNTS TO KEEP THEIR MOUTH SHUT!

Jagdish Nice article. 7/12/2006
Sonal Panse I'm really very sorry for the victims.

Terrorists are terrorists - they are unpleasant people with no regard for human life - their religion is immaterial.

Regarding the Shiv Sena - if they cared so much about the nation, perhaps they wouldn't display such a flair for rioting and destroying national property without any compunction.

PravinMukhedkar "Hans" seems to be a person who hates India. Shiv Sena is a hard liner party but will never do anything against the nation. Not a single national party is going to do this. A well written article. 7/12/2006
Alfred Jones Muslim terrorists behind these types of blast. Because violence in their blood 7/12/2006
Angry Mumbaikar These attacker should be shot without being dead. I really feel bad for the people who passed away. Maybe they were the only bread winners, or expecting a kid, or just married, or just running home to inform their family that it was their first success or their first salary. Damn.. I feel bad. 7/11/2006
Hans the Shiv Sainiks have a hand on this guaranteed...
they want to put down the congress...

Rasha I think that the Mumbai bombings definitely have some sort of relationship to do with 9/11 and 3/11 so it is probably the same terrorist gang. Also something that is really fishy is that there were 7 bomb blasts and it was called 7/11?????? 7/11/2006
