The Kasab behind 30-10@Guwahati got arrested!

Today I got the news of the arrest of NDFB( National Democratic Front of Bodoland) supremo Ranjan Doimary in Bangaladesh. He has been handed over to the Border Security Forces (BSF). This person was behind the deadly serial blasts in Guwahati (30-10-2008) just one month before the Mumbai 26-11 attack. The blast killed around 120 people injuring many others. It's been more than a year Kasab, the only arrested terrorist behind 26-11 attack has not received the punishment he deserves. I heard that may be tomorrow he will face the verdict. The announcement of verdict however does not guarantee punishment because of so many loopholes in the judiciary system. Anyway coming back to the Kasab behind 30-10 attack, I am afraid if I can call him a terrorist. Somehow Indian citizens who spread terror among people are called extremists, freedom fighters, maoists, naxalites etc etc. Even though this man is caught recently, I doubt what kind of punishment he will be awarded. Most of the time such "extremists" spend few years or months may be in prison and then even are allowed to contest in elections. No matter with what motivations they started their so called struggle, killing innocent civilians can not be justified at any cost. But in India, nobody cares about civilian's life. The Mumbai 26-11 attack gained so much attention just because of the foreign citizens who got killed. We must need a better judiciary system to prosecute such mass killers. I hope India will start handling these internal terrorism issues more carefully, because they pose a much bigger threat to the integrity of the nation than outside elements.

May their souls rest in peace...

Today, the 30th October reminds us of the deadliest terrorist attack in the history of Assam. A couple of serial blasts within few hours rocked various parts of the state with Guwahati, the heart of North-East the worst sufferer. More than 100 people were killed and thousand injured in the blasts. Guwahati probably does not live with the same spirit as Bombay lives and I am pretty sure the memories of last year are still haunting the Guwahatians. While talking to friends, relatives staying in the city I feel it, they are scared to go out for classes, office etc as if the same thing gonna happen today which happened one year back. As usual, the local media is also making too much hype putting all those terrible blast pictures on the front pages of news papers. Anyway life is not all about getting scared thinking what happened in the past, people need to move on looking towards a better future. Let's pray for all those innocent victims, may their souls rest in peace.

11-26 Mumbai...

Mumbai..the commercial hub of India is targeted once again. In India terrorist attacks have become a part of daily life for the civilians. They face it one day..forget the other day. I dont even feel like posting these never-ending tragedy in India. We witness such events at least once in a month. Its hardly one month after the blast in Guwahati which took around 90 lives, yesterday it happened again. As alwys been a soft target for terrorist Mumbai became a victim once again. But this time they attacked with a new and never seen strategy. It was not just blasts as happened before , there were indiscriminate firing in public places like railway stations, hospitals, hotels etc which finally lead to a hostage situation. They captured hundreds of people (some of them are foreign nationals) in hotel Taj, Oberoi Trident and in Nariman House, made them hostages. Sources say they were looking for specifically US and UK citizens. Although the situation seems under control now after 24 hours of gunbattle,panic across several places I hope the lessons learnt wont be forgotten. I wont start a blame game here but the way the terrorists entered Mumbai yesterday( through the coastal areas, they reportedly came by a boat loaded with weapons) was similar to the situation in 1993 when Mumbai( then Bombay) was shattered with serial blasts. May the souls of those killed (125 so far) rest in peace and those who were injured get well soon. I am hopeful of full fledged normalcy by tomorrow across Mumbai...

Post-Diwali Blast@Guwahati

30th October 2008...People in India were busy with their scheduled works after the diwali vacation. The same was true for the people in Guwahati(the capital city of Assam) also. Nobody could even imagine that something was going to happen that day in their beloved city which no one ever witnessed. Yes your guess is correct; I am talking about the 10-30 blast in Assam which took at least 100 lives leaving more than 500 injured.Guwahati suffered the most including other places in Assam like Kokrajhar, Barpeta Road, Bongaingaon. In all the places the blasts occurred within half an hour if I am not wrong. Although people in a disturbed, fear-filled state like Assam are used to the incidents like bomb blast along with many such horrible things yet the recent blasts were the most powerful as well as most tragic. According to my friend when the blast occurred in Ganeshguri area near the car parking the 10 auto rickshaws standing there started burning simultaneously along with other vehicles. The flyover also got a big hole in it. The intensity was so high that many of the victims' dead bodies were just a mixture of ashes, bones, teeth etc. One person from my district in Assam has been identified as a victim with some bones, teeth found on the spot and a gold ring which he used to wear. Its extremely horrible. I dont care or dont wanna say anything regarding who are behind blasts as classification of terrorists doesnt save the common people from these heinous activities. These kinds of problems are not new in India. People in India have been witnessing these since years. But due to various reasons which I dont know no strict actions seem to be taken. At this point I can give one example. In the last six months according to the report there were 87 blasts in India. And Intelligence report says in many of those blasts (including those in Assam) some Bangladesh based Islamic outfits are behind. In spite of this our Government never tries to take action against crores of illegal Bangladeshis most of whom are in North-East. It has been warned a number of times how these illegal migrant may change the entire demography of the country etc. But due to vote bank policies of the Government nothing has been done till now.
Its interesting to mention that India is one of the fastest growing economy in the world, it has recently signed the 123 Agreement with the US which allows India to buy Nuke Fuels from NSG for civilian purposes, India has recently successfully launched its lunar exploration satellite Chandrayaan I into the space..and many more good things. I know these good things happening in our country keep those shitty things like bomb blasts etc out of the focus most of the time. Everytime a bomb blast occurs, many people die and from the next day people forget about it and get busy with their daily lives.They have no other options as they have to get back to their work for their survival. But if strict actions are not taken by the Government regarding these Islamic outfits operating inside the territory the time is not very far when their joint operation throughout the country will make our country collapse.
