Attack on Mumbai

Some Observations:

• India has no security. Terrorists can attack us whenever and whereever they want.
• Our tax base is not big enough to provide security at US scale. We don't have political or economic power to wage a war against countries who want to do us harm.
• Political leadership has become very regional. National politics has become a team of regional interests. There is no political leader which commands nation's respect.
• Regionalism has grown in recent times. TV footage allows us to see the viral hatred which Marathi Manoos felt towards North Indian( or Bhojpuri speaking folks from UP/Bihar really) when a group of 20 year olds were beating a 50 years old Taxi Driver. In yesterday's attack, for a moment, I thought shouldn't we ask MNS to defend Bombay? I also felt that those hateful bastards will do a better job of fighting or die fighting, rather than our police whse senior officers look more like fat ladies. In fact, only decent looking physically fit Indians are in Indian Army.
  
• When people write Mumbaikars, I wonder for a split second, who are they? Shouldn't they be called Bombayiites or something similar in English?
• When Bachchan wrote in his blog that he is stunned/shocked by that attack...he was told to shut up and support Mumbai police who were killed in the attack. What about others who died? What the f**k is Marathi Manoos? Is it equivalent for retarded Marathis? Why shouldn't Lata mangeshkar or other rich people in Maharashtra do the same in stead of asking Bachchan only ?
• Our Intelligence services blamed Pakistan and ISI? Why blame them? After all, it is their goal to destablize India as much as they can since it is in their national interest. Shouldn't we kick our own intelligence communities for royal failures?
• Terrorist attacks are now monthly affairs in India. India has total population of 1.1 billion. If they kill 200, it doesn't make much of difference. Normal folks live day-to-day life within 2-10 dollars, and they have no saving. They have to work if they dont want to go hungry. Even after a brutal attack, people are back to doing whatever they were doing immediately after attack.
  
• Then there are journalists which try to provide some narrative over the events, which doesn't make much sense. Mumbai may be a great city but most of India's wealth is not tied to Dalal Street. India is a poor country, and her children live in rural India having not much money to invest.
• It is migrants to Western countries and are mainly from big cities who are shocked by these attacks and try to buy and provide a narrative.
  
• But, these people have no stakes in Rural India and they dont give two hoots about the rural poverty. They are narrow minded and regional. Their cosmopolitan outlook lacks everything decent and are generally very self-centered. For example, all US based NRIs have affiliation groups which are region based or caste based. There are IIT based alumni, but they do not provide the network which either promotes or protects the nodes. And they definitely not provide social framework and affinity which caste/language based networks do.
  
• Our PM and other political leaders are just placeholders with no real powers. The reason for that is corruption, which makes all arms of government hollow. All statements of purpose are mere words and never get implemented.
• It is for these reasons, all leaders are in politics for personal gain rather than for service. India is a thin, sickly cow to be milked by aggressive, ignorant and malicious leaders.
• All the leaders come from rural India and have no city slickness to them.
