Being a citizen of India, I truly feel very sad that this terrorist attack has happened in one of our cities and the government allowed it to happen even after having intelligence reports and warnings of impending terrorist attacks. The plight of little moshe who was orphaned even before his second birthday is really heart warming and painful. India is a country which takes great pride on showing amiable hospitality to guests and tourists. Someone coined the term "atithi devaa" which means "guests are Gods". I guess that person must be churning in his grave because he has been proved wrong again and again. Tourists are ogled at, heckled, cheated by overcharging, females are molested and raped. And now, they are being killed by terrorists. If they do not get any security and are treated badly, why should they even come to visit India? And that will be truly detrimental to tourism in india. I was shocked to read that an Israeli search and rescue team had come to mumbai but were not allowed to carry out an operation. They would definitely have done a better job than our own forces and little moshe would still have his parents with him. I am truly ashamed of the goverment's inability to fight terror and stop such carnages from occurring. May God help us all in our fight against terror !!! May we all be united in our efforts to defeat terrorist forces !!!
