We deserve what we accept

Mumbai is under attack -- yet again. And, this time it is war. No less. Undeniably.

I salute our under paid, highly stressed military and police but I ask of our people, our government and our intelligence: So what are we going to do about this? Discuss, dissect, promise, get promises?

Some weak, hollow action? As always?

And, what do normalcy and safety, food, water, housing, power, infrastructure, jobs, caste, community, floods, drought -- name it -- have anything to do with which political party is in power?

Why are we hosting a parasitical system that first creates these issues and then ties up these to politics and not the governance process, thus feeding on us, threatening to destroy us eventually?

Why is public resilience a rule and good governance an exception?

We deserve what we accept.

So, what next? The same track? I don't think so. Yes, this city, this country has an indomitable, resilient spirit. So? Jingoistic though it may sound, be warned those who challenge it, this spirit could burn yours. It will.

We, The other People

Kill the business of terrorism
