Mumbai the deadly bomb blasts thread continues---93 serial blasts 257 killed,1998-2008 3 times 85 casualities,2003 4 times—160 casualities-2006---11/7 188dead,---2008 26/11 terrorist attack 166 dead---300injured, and now 3 blasts. There is blood everywhere, acts of meaningless violence; the rot runs deep, while we can only weep, the victims can hardly speak, choked by pain and rain, screaming in agony. Like cyclical waves it goes on and on, the vicious cycle of revenge and retribution.
The perpetrators cannot let go of the blame, it has been internalized killing kith and kin, and they are doomed to carry their shame and guilt, with no redemption in sight. Is it fate at work, or some random events happening without any connection? The issues are real, the government is apathetic, security ineffective, and the stark reality is out there waiting for the tears falling from the victims faces to forge a new critical attitude towards the mute world at large. The State cannot protect its people, and then at least rename it “BOMBay” so that the people have a sense of their own immortality, when they step out each day. ---Vinay-
