TRAIN OF TERROR

There is smell of blood everywhere; Israel vs Hamas vs Lebanon. Blasts in India's commercial capital Mumbai killing train passengers who commute to home from work is more than mere shock. India is feeling cheated again as Pakistan's hand surfaces. Rhetoric of politicians have just started; even the politician who praised Jinnah in Pakistan is crying foul.

Many families have lost a father, brother or a husband. Many dislocated lives of dependents are there forever. What is significant in India is all pogroms are starting in train. Godhra in Gujarat had a boggey of passengers who were set aflame by arsonists alleged to be Muslim ultras; the retaliation came in the form of bloody Gujarat riots of 2001. The headcount and body count is going on; adding to that is poor policing and a dead intelligence department.

Clearly there is panic.

There is no one to turn to for a solace.

There is darkness, mistrust and betrayal; where are we heading for.....?
