#November26 or the 26/11 will always be a date that I wouldn't forget. I did not experience the terror attack but my extended family did. In fact that family broke!

It was my father's maama living in #Mumbai , he lost his life in the blast that ripped through the train

..and I saw the family suffer quite a lot post that, selling their only property, eldest son & daughter in law passing away and my father's maami having no place to go but to an old age home!
I'm sure many families would've gone through worser times post the #MumbaiTerrorAttack

What hit me hard was the absolute lack of will to exact revenge by the Central Govt of the day! - BTW I was apolitical at that time

What hit me harder was the Hindu terror angle trope that Congress played and #Bollywood supporting it!

P. Chiddu did nothing, just said that the buck stops with him! Chavan just went around Mumbai in different attires! Ra Ga was partying somewhere & Sonia, I dunno where she was! But all of them were not in sync with the country's mood

The country still voted for UPA in 2009 elections & someone in 2019 wrote that "Terror attacks do not sway electorate in India" which I feel is a general apathy that Indian's have for internal security or perhaps they have been brainwashed to such an extent that..

by retaliating against this terror attack or calling it out they would be offending the sensibilities of a very "special" community that is waiting to be offended. Some times I feel that Hindus are like those victims in an abusive relationship who think that they don't

..deserve better and continue to undergo the abuse!
I digress!
#Bollywood which "allegedly" thrives on funding from anti-Hindu/anti-India sources & depends significantly on Islamic nations for movie collections thought it would be nice to play along the #HinduTerror trope

#MaheshBhatt & others didn't even apologize after it was proven that it was #AjmalKasab from our loving neighboring nation who had come in to say "Hi!" in his own style. Hindus definitely owe it to #TukaramOmble who in spite of taking those bullets held on to #Ajmal

If this were any other country, the entire movie industry would've been shuttered! but we are in India and Hindus still watch #Bollywood movies & BCCI's cricket team still plays with #Pakistan and ppl still think that anyone who speaks "Urdu" must be a poet/intellectual etc

Like Nupur Sharma (Opindia) says, We are documenting our own end!
Though a lot has changed but the general "chalta hai" attitude hasn't changed.
There is political stability but I feel we aren't vigilant enough as a society.

A part of the population still thinks that being watchful and careful when dealing with the desert cult will offend the cult and disturb the "syncretic" culture of India!

BTW "syncretic", "Ganga-Jamuni-Tehzeeb" etc. is the name given to the "abusive" relationship that Hindus are with the cult.

Hindus still vote for Congress BTW a party that is as Indian as Sonia Gandhi! - this hits me the HARDEST!

End of a Sunday rant!

It was the 11th July blast in the train... another terror attack,
My apologies for not phrasing it properly!

but my rant is about the general apathy regarding terror attacks anywhere in India!
