Varanasi, Bangalore, Delhi, and now Mumbai.The tolerance capacity of India will certainly leave no one in any doubt, muchleast the terrorists themselves. They must surely be revelling in the weak-kneedresponse of the Indian government towards these atrocities. The blasé and banalresponse from the home minister and others that investigations are going on andthat we will fight terrorists will not fool anybody about the inherent lack ofwill in the government to tackle this menace effectively. We are celebrating theability of Mumbai to take these attacks in its stride and get back to work. Butsurely, this "chalta hai" attitude is also responsible for theslumber of the government? It would have been much better had the citizensof Mumbai decided that for one day they will not do what they are supposed to doand will ask their government for some explanations. It’s difficult but itneeds to be done. How long can this go on? Do we value the lives of our citizensor not? It’s not enough anymore to say, as the Prime Minister has done, thatterrorism won’t hinder India’s progress. What does he mean when he says thatwe will win the war on terror? The Indian public, which has been suffering thisrecurring onslaught of violence has a right to some answers.
