Heights of Tolerance!!!

BREAKING NEWS: Kasab denies all charges, claims forced confession- Source: The Times of India.

My friend pinged me today with this statement. Today, being a Friday had a lovely (and mind that, heavy as well) lunch and came back to the desk in a merry mood. I was startled, angry and surprised looking at this message of his. So, immediately logged on the TOI site to find the details on the news.

I was amazed to see the man denying all the charges against him on the Mumbai terror attacks. Is this some kind of a joke??? What is going on over here? It has been a year already since the horrible incident has passed and we, over here are still fighting to prove that man guilty!!! In the past one year Kasab has truly moved from the cover page on the newspapers to on some pages in between or end. Enough care has been taken care that he doesn't reflect on the front pages and in headlines anywhere (same like Telgi, if you till remember who he was). But the terrorist keeps playing his part of coming on the front pages time and again. Today, by denying all the charges, yesterday by spilling out names of the people involved in the massacre and some other with some other thing.

The man has blatantly denied all charges against him and passed ridiculous statements like he has been fixed in the whole issue. "On the night of November 25, I was roaming in Juhu. I had gone to see a movie when the local police arrested me", is what Kasab's said (Source-TOI). Is it so simple to defy our intelligence? I mean is it a game that anyone like Kasab can come and f**k around with our judicial system?

Referring to my earlier post (http://thinkpots.blogspot.com/2008/12/what-next.html), I have already written that we Indians think too much. What has US done about it if they are "so" much bothered about world peace? In fact, a perfect irony to the situation is that they find their own citizen in support of the attacks! But no, they still won't accept it. This is how "outsiders" will be! This is how they will think, this is how they'll react. There's a saying in Hindi "Apne ghar ka kachara, humein hi saaf karna padta hai", which means the garabge in ones house has to be cleaned by himself. Neighbors will not come to your rescue if, tomorrow you've got tons of it. And believe me, we have at least a thousand tons of it. We should not wait for any US to come and clean it up for us. In effect, at first we should realize that we are in garbage. The problem with us is that we don't realize that we need to do something about it. A friend of mine has commented on my earlier post. He seemed to be really very hopeful about India and the action our country takes against the attacks. Nothing was done. Just court cases, some video tapes of the attacks, a peace march on 26/11, some footage on "the only terrorist surviving" after the attacks etc. We have dignified Kasab, the media has made him a hero, and he in turn has made a fool of us. Smart guy I must say. What happens to all such hopes as my old friend had? Was he the only one to hope that my country takes an action? Certainly not. But like me and you and thousands and millions of others, we won't do anything about it. I feel ashamed of myself, ashamed of the environment, the surroundings and sometimes, I know I shouldn't be saying this but my country as well!!!
