Another Day Another Blast

I am putting my money on the notion that this will be "just another" blast for Mumbai and India.
By now India is immune to such events and not only Mumbai, which famously went on with it's routine after the 93' blast, but also the entire country including the Bal Thackrays and the BJPs and RSS and othe Hindu fundamentalist organization will go on with their work.

After the token statement of condemnation by our STRONG leadership of manmohan and sonia and company India will move on.

I think the jehadis need to invent a new weapon of terror now. The shock factor from the blast has diminished over the period of time. The jehadis should understand that Hindus are "dead" inside anyways. They attacked Varanasi; probably the most Hindu of the Hindu temples and yet there was not a wimper of reaction from Hindus. So I am not sure what jehadis are really looking at.

In the meantime the Congress and other party's who need to keep the Muslim population in good humour will make statements so has not to "hurt" the oh-so-sensitive soul of the Muslims. Their condemnation will be measured.
The Communists will off course blame all this on the "fundamentalist' forces - aka Shiv Sena and BJP.

So, let's get this straight. India gives $25 Million to Pakistan on the same day Pakistani backed organization with the help of Indian locals merrily kill 200 odd people and permanently disable thousands. So let's just say Pakistan had a blast with that donation !!!

I am sure Vinod Mehta and Mahesh Bhatt must be more worried about whether India-Pak piss process will be affected by this. For these two gentlemen nothing is more important than a peace process with Pakistan. Mumbai local crowd be damned.

For all you know, they should not be worried. The niceities between the two countries will go on without any hindrance. They can have their biryani and goshth on the nice lawns of Pakistani embassy.

Praful Bidwai and Kuldeep Nayar must also be more worried for the "poor" muslim terrorist who will be "unjustly" tried in India courts. They might already be exploring the legal means to keep the "innocent" terrorists out from the Indian police's reach. I think they too need not worry. First of all UPA has revoked POTA. So the Indian police cannot put them behind the bars for too many days anyway. And after UPA coming to power the Indian police anyway does not have much motivation to go after the culprits.

So bottomline, everything will be back to normal. Infact nothing will be abnormal to come back to. Life will go on as usual. For mumbaikars and for India in general.
