Never Will I Keep Silent

For a ten member squad to create as much mayhem as what has been done in the 60 hour war on Mumbai, it should have had an enormous local support who should have done the necessary preparation like understanding the layouts of the region, etc. What made these local Indians to support the foreign entity, hell bent on killing people? As I was debating this question in my heart, one of my friends pointed out correctly as "Fear and Insecurity". Fear and Security which grew by keeping mum.. 

Thanks to this war on Mumbai, I have realized that keeping silent does not help anyone... When Raj Thackeray was uttering nonsense, I have kept silent. When my brothers and sisters in Christ were tortured and persecuted in Orissa, this blog kept silent. But now i have realized that our differences and problems can never be solved by keeping quiet, with the hope that someday people will realize their mistakes on their own...

I thought that someday non-Muslims rejecting home for a respected Muslim will understand that they are pushing him slowly to terrorism. I thought that someday Hindus will realize the atrocities committed by draconian organizations - VHP and RSS... Someday people will realize that when the government allows riots (like what Modi did), the community affected will react back one day or later. Now I have realized that keeping Silent Never helps anyone. So expect much more frequent posts on this blog.

Robin dude, you should start posting about most social problems and spread the word - not just the VHP and associated riots - there are communal problems in places, bribery at very high levels of office, unfair judicial proceedings (read : jessica lall) and a very prevalent system of race based segregation promoted by the govt (read : reservation)... maybe a joint effort with 2-3 more ppl would do a lot of good...
