Saif
As an Indian and a Muslim I feel like expressing my condemnation and outright disgust at any party killing innocent people in the name of God, Allah .. or whatever we choose to call him.. I am so worried that the whole religion will be judged and condemned. There are strong communal feelings running through all stratas of our society.. and I find it hard to defecnd the fact that there seems to be a muslim hand behind every detonator. Indians must unite as Indian and not split under any circumstances on any line..

In the days that have followed the 26th of November.., I have felt a surge of mixed emotions. Sadness at the loss of lives and property. Admiration for our police, armed forces and firemen, who did their best and fought bravely despite the limited means at their disposal. Disgust with the so-called political leaders who provide no leadership and ironically surround themselves with so many security guards while doing little or nothing for the security of the people who have voted them to power. And anger at the cowards who kill in the name of religion, and anger at the cowards who support them without owning up.
I want to applaud the media for being pro active .. and for being the force that is trying to unite the nation. We must genuinely unite if real change is to come.. there are too many divisions.. political and religious in our minds.
