As I was flipping through the channels I saw CNN streaming about terrorist attack in Mumbai. It took me time to figure out how bad it really was. I do not think Mumbai really recovered from the blasts of 2006. This time however, their audacity seems to have gone up. Instead of planting bombs, these guys actually went on a rampage, shooting indiscriminately and mowed 125 ppl. The terrorists have become more ambitious. They are not happy just killing India's common man, they want international recognition. And boy, did they get it? CNN in US is streaming nothing else but terror in Mumbai for the last 30 hours.
I think the entire intelligence system in India is rotten. Terrorists have been able to strike at will and at any location of their choice, without our intelligence ever knowing anything about it. Be it Jaipur or Bangalore or Delhi or Surat or Ahemedabad. We haven't really been able to crack these cases even afters months of investigation. Something is seriously broken somewhere. The terrorists are ahead of us and they know how to leverage technology better than us.
Its a problem cutting across party lines and administration. We need to make the right investments in upgrading our forces and making our nation more secure.
I wish I could help, if only I knew how.
