Yet another terror attack on Indians; the commercial capital of India this time is on a high alert as terrorists in large numbers have attacked at least 10 different places in Mumbai i.e Taj Hotel, Oberoi hotel,Wadi Bunder, Cama hospital, GT hospital, VT station, Bootleggers pub, Girgaum and Metro cinema. Its a pre planned large scale attack which has taken lives of as many as 80 people and has injured
more than 900 as I write this article.

The news will always come and go, such attacks and its reaction are ought to happen but the point to ponder is why? why such an attack on a country like India? A country that believes in secular philosophy?
There are some clear answers to that why- that have been given by political analysts and commentators time and again.
As an emerging econonmy in the world scenario India has developed foes that are hidden and rivals unknown. With not so bright history of India's relation with Pakistan, China or even Bangladesh, India's situation
is quite critical if wee see its geograhical placement on the world map.A time where the country requires support from its neighbours, India hopes least for this.

As speculations grow over the country or the government being soft on politics, the question raised again is whether India or Indian government can do better than this. With such series of attacks on both the state and commercial capital, India is ought to take some drastic steps on not just domestic but on an International stage.The government and the citizen of the nation have to think above the religious line and find the real culprit out. No Sadhvi's or Purohit's extremists condemnation would help us.

Much resolute measures are needed to be taken. The Indian intelligence agencies needs to wake up and nothing better than this could serve as a wake up call. Identifying the terror or the terrorists is the priority that rests with
these agencies. The media plays a very crucial role here. Speculations raised by them; most of the times mislead even the government agencies and police personnel. So, it should be strictly taken care that
no words must come out without strict facts to hold on to. Its high time the Indian media realise that TRP game shouldn't force them to sensationalize such matters of national importance and security. Its high time not to play with country's emotions with their endless drama. Its the time that we as a citizen need to wake up and identify every single terrorist on making.

I repeat that we need to think above religious lines as Blaming and Branding terrorists hasn't helped us any more. Blaming the government and intelligence agencies is as simple as eating your daily bread, so better
start taking some actions that would not only help your country but even your family and friends. India needs its people to wake up and help her.
