Terrorist attack on Mumbai

Learned friends,
Jay Jinendra

It is horrible, this dastardly terrorist attack by Pakistan-trained terrorists on Mumbai.

The terrorists are clearly familiar with the city of Mumbai and seem to know exactly what they are doing.

The tragedy of modern civilisation is that the terrorist can slip through the most diligent of check posts.

Constant vigilance, a clear cut policy on combating terrorism and a strong and decisive legal system could be possible deterrents to terrorist attacks. But our country lacks these.

Heartbreaking to see my city in flames.

My immediate family is safe for now, but how safe are we if our beloved city is under such a deadly terrorist attack?

I hope the Government takes firm steps and comes down very hard on terrorism. The terrorists have shown that they deserve no mercy. None
should be wasted on them.

And I pray that political parties do not use this attack on Indians as a way to garner more votes and create hatred between various communities in India.

What we Indians need to do in times like this is to come together, trust each other and act in the best interests of the nation.
