Mumbai was hit once again by the terrorists when seven successive explosions took place in crowdy suburban train compartments in different locations around 6.30 pm IST on last Tuesday killing nearly two hundred innocent commuters and leaving hundreds of injured people. The entire country is standing by the side of the victims and a round-the-corner strong criticism for such a cowardish act and at the same time willingness to extend supports from countries like USA gives us few consolation.
It is hard to believe that any human being, society, organisation or government in this world will make innocent people as a soft-target to prove their existence and power, but surprisingly and sadly enough, this is exactly what is being done by the terrorists oflate quite frequently in different parts of the world.
Not only statesman like Hon’ble PM, Sir M.M.Singh has given a call to the nation saying “I urge people to remain calm, not to believe rumors and carry on their activity normally” there are many other common people who has come forward to strike back and marking it as “an act of cowards”.

The evil effect of such an act for obvious reason is the gross loss of many lives, properties and a short existent distraction from routine activities. But at the same time this will unite the entire world, the human race as a whole to become more resilient and united in fighting against such attactk.
I suppose no religion, race, caste and creed has ever been supportive towards terrorism, it is rather a social stigma that this very civilised human race that gave birth to people like Mother Teresea, Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, and many more people who has exhibited deep concern for the development of human race, is also producing people with evil intention who aim to destroy this mankind.
Not quite sure what purpose such mass-killing serves, it would have been better if the terrorist groups would come up across the table in open front to place their protests and demands before the people or appropriate authorities. After all, these innocent commuters would know really little or nothing about the demands/agitations for which they were made the target.
The government of India has all along been sincere and commited to protect the life and property of this country from terrorist attacks in the form of tightening security measures and mobilising the Intelligence Departments , still it is a real challenge for the Government to employ adequate protection for 110 Crore odd population. We get news related to explossives like RDX siezer quite frequently, still , it is really difficult to eliminate the possibility of a new attack in near future.
However, really i may not be the right person to suggest but what i feel is that educating people to fight against terrorism may save them from attacks. A nation wide sustained campaign upto the grass-root level regarding detection and identification of explossives and Dos and Do Nots may provide a stronger protection.
People of this nation is well aware of the impending danger due to such attacks and even then, they keep maintaining their normal activity. Even if you take a tour to Mumbai today you will probably find no trace of that hit anywhere, it is as busy and active as it was couple of days ago with schools and colleges open, people are attending their jobs and somehow they might have accepted and understood the fact this these are mere stray events that will come up at times and there is nothing to fear or nothing to become too much worried about such cowardish act, entrusting the task of fighting against the terrorists to the Administration in totality.
This is the real power, the mind-power of common people which is the primary cause of existence of this human race till date.
India is safe, we, the Indians are safe as well, only thing is that the fight against evil-spirit is yet not over.
