A day after terror struck

The day that saw the worst attack on humnaity was marked by violence. The angry rather the panicked mob resorted to violence. the sign of violnce or outrage. So what prompted them to be so outrageous. if the media reports are anything to go by vehicle of a sub divisional officer was attacked. a number of police men were among the seriously injured. We are not here to defend or offend any individual, community, caste and creed. it is a different debate whether the panicked mob had any legitimte right to vend their anger by destrying public properties and annihilating a police sub post located feets away from the blast site. we would not discuss the morale of the acts perpetrated by the violent mob on the fateful day. One of the source told the writer that the recently concluded Hindu festival of ganapati was characterised by a huge police force. During ganapaty the force kept a tight vigil and risked where it was necessary. the same person who is a well informed dentist told this correspondent how the establishment practised double standard. During Ramzan and the evets leading up to the Monday's blast the security was not watertight. as it was before onlt three or fur weeks back. it reminded many the blasts of spetember 8 2006 on the day of the muslim day of celebration Shabe Barat, which falls two weeks ahead of Ramzan. Shabe Barat marks the beginning of all festivities. it turns the entire muslim community into the religious mode. the same day, september 29, another blast rocked the town of Modasa in Samarkantha district in Gujarat. According to media reports both the lasts were near synchronous. The blast in Malegaon occurred in between 9.15 / 9.30 in the night.
The one ingujarat also happened nearly the same time. there seems to be a pattern and an ideology working behind these acts of terro. if the religion becomes an illusion people beome beasts. they becme cannibals. they eat each other's flesh and drink their blood. the hukmnaity has been under a comstant siege. No one know where it will lead us Indians. But we can hope tha we can improve on certain fronts.
