Days after the massacre, the will Taj and be transformed into virtual fortress, unlike the majority, the rich aren’t dispensable.
Let’s have a simple comparison-The police vs. the terrorist.
Become a terrorist and you’ll be respected; your family will be given financial aid and even your government will stand by you /* when no one’s looking off course!*/and that’s tempting even on this side of the border. Being a cop was tough –working through endless shifts, dealing with every type of screw-up in society and using equipment that’s not cutting edge even in the dark ages. But it just got tougher. The Deputy CM just got sacked, so no more dance bar raids- the only perk they had.
The incident gave rise to a pubic opinion tsunami that’d wipe-out the politicos who stood in its way. Though many are spared as they went under and surfaced only when it just passed, others like the Antulay guy are riding the wave for public attention.
What now??
The candles have been lit, everyone is done with their share of pledges, almost half a million people gathered at the gateway of India to express their disgust against the system. I didn’t go; personally I think that few pissed off commoners with AK-47s have a better chance of changing the system. But hey that’s wishful thinking. Living in Mumbai was never easy, but now you need a death wish if you continue with your existence here.
And this is our happy ending.
