Colossal Courage is What We Showed in Facing Terrorism!!!

I have been planning to write this post for a long time, that is, since the day Mumbai or more precisely speaking, India was attacked by the terrorists, on November 26th. But i wanted to find out more about the attack before giving out my cognizance out here on the blog. On all the three days that the attack lasted, i was glued to the TV to know how it will all end, how the Indian soldiers will save India and it really turned out worthwhile watching everything. My amma and sis at home were shouting at me because they were very least bothered about things that were happening in some place far away from where we live. But that's not the way it should be, we too have got a say in the things happening anywhere in India. After all, we are the proud citizens of India and our rights don't confine to the small place where we live.

Before i start thinking out loud, let me first bow my head in front of all those martyrs who laid their lives to save us all from worser perils that could have befallen all of us. Those were the real gods shrouded in military garments. I, from my heart, salute all those brave and formidable heroes of India who fought to protect our country.

The thing that happened here could have happened to any country in the world and i do not know how each country will tackle it but definitely some can tackle it better than we did because of their better economy but i won't blame our country's military force because they have done their best with whatever measly armaments they had. I definitely believe that an AK-47 is not even 1% equal to 10 rifles or pistols or whatever our Indian Police force has.

The other thing that made me sit open-mouthed in front of the TV was the strength and ability of the terrorists to make such an attack, that too, remember, they were less in number in a foreign land. That's definitely not an easy thing to do. I think they accomplished at least 60% of what they aimed. They could create terror, kill people, destroy Mumbai's shaan "Taj Hotel" and we were able to catch only one of them alive. I heard in news that they had used cocaine injections to keep themselves away from fatigue and falling asleep. They all had bodies that could have fitted the persona of a real warrior, and they were real warriors, ready to die, or you can say fighting to die causing havoc till they are alive. They had been trained for more than two years to sustain any kind of adverse conditions and also trained to fight and die. I still don't understand what kind of religious fanatism can lead one's mind to such a point as to make oneself sacrifice for its needs. How can they forget all the beauty of the world? How can they shut their eyes to the life around them? How can they be so inane? I really don't understand and never will.

One thing that's clear as crystal is the fact that terrorism will never end from the face of earth because man can never be satisfied. We can only stand together and fight against terrorism and try to take preventive measures against it. Only then can we save the innocent lives that are being sacrificed in the names of religion and other contemptible activities of man.
