Mumbai terror attack has been now called by 26/11 attack by the American imitate electronic media. responsible and being called as one of the democratic pillar, The indian media once again showed the aggressive american mind set to the indian public. There is no reason other than the 9/11 imitation to called Mumbai attack as 26/11.
You’ll find thousands of tweets from public near the site of the tragedy as well as folks in other countries who are offering support. People are sharing locations where blood is needed, police activity that they are witnessing, and the health status of their family and friends.
This is good, minus one little point in there – “The police activity”. These updates have begotten seemingly urgent warnings from users reporting that the government of India is asking people to stop reporting the police move due to the fear of the terrorists using the tools to glean information. Those not tweeting for the omission of police details are calling it a hoax.
But are we serious? Scores died in Mumbai and many more die across the world due to senseless acts of terror. But who cares? We never care much about the every day terror death toll, we will just give comments and go through.
Finally, we started accusing the politicians for all the ills which we are facing in the country, Politicians are just a part of our society and absolutely they are reflecting you and me. because, you and me electing them by voting in a Democratic system. The MP’s and the MLA’s are our representatives. They have not landed from the moon to rule over the country, “They are part of the very society we live in”.
That’s why, when we choose them, we too are accountable. Majority of the A-listers of our society, who are so enraged by the attacks in Mumbai, don’t even go out to vote! And can now be seen giving sound bytes about how the country is going to dogs and our politicians are such bad people. Haha..it’s somewhat amused me and hope do the same impact on you.
When, the whole country got shocked by the terror attack, we allow “Mr.Narendra Modi” to speak about the internal issues right opposite the Taj Hotel was somewhat made me shy. Even our media allow this kind of high drama’s and running their visual attraction.Anyway, many of you couldn’t have slept and kept watching television (and improving TRP’s) as the situation was so glum and depressing. And even if you had napped for a while, I guess you were shaken out of your slumber by our television anchors who hollered when smoke billowed out of Taj Hotel, as if a freak goal in football was scored or as if an accident in F1 race had taken place.
Even you are getting die on terror attack, you should know how to pose to the media Camera’s, Rather be a Bus accident victim in India, you should be a Plane crash Victim. There are lot of accidents packed up the villagers life in bulk as the count goes up to 80, But, Unfortunately our Electronic media never attracted by. Agreed aircrafts don’t crash often and that’s why if they do, then its big news. But aren’t the people, the aspirations that get extinguished the same whether it be a bus or an aircraft.
We as a society have to change first and be more empathetic to our fellow countrymen. And, the change ‘should’ start from the upper echelons, and then only we can expect it to percolate down to the entire society.
