Had no plans of writing this post but just found an article on Times of India website so thought of spreading it. Everyone these days is so distressed after Mumbai attacks left so many dead. Many palns were cancelled (including our Goa trip), tourism dipped and what not happened. States were blamed protest marches and other ways of registering the protest. But just look at this:
People killed in Road accidents: 314/day. Calculate 314*365=?
People killed by Lightning (it may look amusing): 2,700/yearly
People killed by terror activities-
Terror activities in North-East: 498
Rest: 235
Now one cant blame the govt or anyone for lightning (i donno how to avoid it), but what about road accidents? When so many marches can be taken out to better equip the police why not take out a single one for traffic police. And I didnt find any records for murders and abductions and rapes. These are much more serious problem our country is facing that 26/11. I agree that steps should be taken to prevent terror attacks also but public should not just stand up cause it had much more drama in it. I am not at all being insensitive here to talk like this. I respect every person who fought or held in any way but people should not stop looking at other problems.
