A massive media blitz is being carried out as if everything is going to end. It would have been funny if it was not sad. The dead bodies are being used by vultures in human form to further their agendas. Where were these so called concerned people, when these blasts took place in different parts of country killing ordinary Indians? They were nowhere to be found. Wherever we could see them, their tone used to be, do not be jingoistic and so on. Now, once the hangout of elite has been touched, look at the noise pollution on every media. Various myths are being touted. Let us face them one by one. 1 - India is protesting - Oops, I used to think that population of India is 1 billion plus. After this incident got to know that it is around 1 lakh. How did this population reduction take place? A few thousands in mumbai, few thousands in bangalore and same numbers in major metros do not comprise India. India is not protesting. Common man is not bothered. It is the elite and chatteratti who are bothered. 2 - It is an attack on Indian economy. Again Oops. Indian economy is not run by 5 star hotels and Ratan Tatas. It is run by common man and common man is not impacted by Taj and Oberoi. 3 - We must punish the politicians. Should we and should we forget those who used their money and muscle power to keep those politicians in place. Yes, I am talking about Ratan Tata and his ilk. I find it really hypocritic, that when Ratan Tata attacks a honest politician like Mamta Banerjee after he has unleashed a reign of terror in Singur, all the media including blogs, applauded him and now when Tata's hotel has been attacked suddenly he is a victim. Funny, going by the logic of singur, the media and chatteratti should have been blasting Tata and praising Terrorists. How the perspective changes when money is at stake? 4- Urban voting will make difference. No, you are just trying to use painkiller to kill cancer. It simply does not work out. Will post the arithmetic and reasons sometime later on. By the way, did anyone ask, how did jago re got the funds for the TV campaign. I do not believe it comes cheap. We tend to brush the corruption of those we are financed by under the table. 3 - The Mumbai attacks have once again proved the power of propaganda and proved Goebbels right.
