Mumbai battle won

Thanks to the brave security personnel - the NSG commandos, army and the police. But this marks possibly the beginning if a new era where the citizens of India would want to take things in control and work to make this nation a better place to live in, rather than waiting for the politicians to do so.
Angry people talking on tv panels, peace marches being carried out in various places - this tragedy will not be forgotten like the others. And it should not be. Not because the terrorists struck the elite, who possess the power (by virtue of their networks) to bring about a change, possibly a revolution, but because, this was the last straw. It was outrageous on all accounts. The fact that a handful of people can land in our country with loads of arms and ammunition, enter the financial capital, spread around , strategize an attack and go about their business of spreading terror - unnoticed, unchecked !
There is no guarantee that this would not happen again. Especially because we have nincompoop people like the CM of Maharashtra and Home Secretary who say that "We did not have exact information" and "such incidents can happen in a big city". Preposterous !
