Massacre in Bombay

My deepest and heartfelt sympathies with all those hurt and condelences for all who have lost their lives in the last 72 hours of carnage in South Bombay.

A few days earlier, I had scripted a blog where in I clearly reflected that tighter and more stringent action would enable the country to counter terrorism. Unfortunately that statement of mine has now been proven in harsh reality. The dithering and pussyfooting about to pander to the wider remit of the "Electoral demands" seem to have made various governments over cautious in their approach to manage the situation with militant organisations.

First things first. Let us clear this mess in real time. Later let the organisations responsible for clearing the society and country of the various nefarious elements like the militant groups be given the kind of authority that a Kiran Bedi or a Ribero or Gill had to go out and finish them off.

We need to look at 3 elements of control:

1. Reactive resolution: Clear the current mess
2. Proactive controls: Enhanced and empowered intelligence organisations doing the job professionally
3. Responsible reaction: Based on intelligence, responsibly weed out the elements of destruction from society

Let us all as citizens of the world stand together to make it clear to the powers of destruction that Evil never triumphs over the Good and resilience of the Bombayite and Indian world over is not broken.
