MUMBAI FIGHTS BACK..

Mumbai attacks were a series of coordinated terrorist attacks that occurred across Mumbai (Bombay), India's financial capital and largest city, on November 26, 2008. As the astounding and the heartbreaking images of Mumbai attacks and hostage drama played out on television and splashed across newspapers and websites, the country and the world reacted, first with a mix of shock and horror and then, erupted in rage. These attacks have not only elicited strong responses from the world leaders, stronger responses have been coming in from citizens around the world, who stand united in their condemnation of the bloodbath and in discriminatory shooting in Mumbai.


The predominant emotion seemed to be a mix of anger and helplessness - a reflection on the collective sentiment of the country. Never before in its history of facing some of the bloodiest terrorist attacks has India felt so collectively crippled as it does today.


While intelligence failure is being blamed for the terror attacks, most readers have lashed out against politicians and the political system. The city of Mumbai is angry, as is the rest of the country. Mumbaikars were on the streets, saying that enough is enough. People across Mumbai reacted by holding candle lights for those who died in the recent terror attacks. They also asked why the government failed completely in protecting them and their city.


The Mumbai terrorist attacks show that the fight with terrorism is necessary. These acts of terrorism shows that the problem exists and it can't be easily solved. These coordinated attacks on innocent civilians demonstrate the grave and urgent threat of terrorism. Such violence is totally unacceptable. We need to step up and unite against terrorism..
