completely agree.
we also need the following:
a) an official mechanism for crisis and disaster management. both are lacking
b) a method of recalling politicians who fail. it’s our right
c) protecting policemen from politicians and political interference. they serve us not the political class.

There should be one more thing.

Kill all politicians, whether they are from Pakistan or India. They are the real terrorists, who are creating atmosphere where young kids in early twenties are misguided and trained as mercenaries.

1. Memorial for the martyrs is not reqd. The fact that Taj and Oberoi are still standing is a very very strong memorial to the event.
2. Increase the pay scale of our armed forces. Haven’t they proved again and again that they deserve it more than the politicians & bureaucrats?
3. Improve the air, land and air security. A much higher investment for much more manpower, machine and equipment.
4. Implement the long awaited police reforms. Free the police from the corrupt politicians!
5. Make terrorism a central subject and not a state subject. Terrorism is an attack on India.
6. All this is useless unless you have world class infrastructure to enable speedy, efficient & effective implementation against any anti-India activity. So get the corrupt BMC officials to correct their ways.
7. Finally, if this is not implemented, then start a campaign for non-payment of all kinds of taxes – direct & indirect - by Bombay to the Govt of India. Let them come begging to us for our money!!!

And yes, why call it Mumbai, I want my Bombay back!!!! This regionalism has to go.

Someone should also inform Mr. Raj Thakeray, that his precious “Marathi” city was saved by NSG commandos who were predominantly North Indians and South Indians. SO PLEASE SHUT UP AND FOCUS ON LARGER ISSUES IF YOU CARE FOR AND WANT TO SAVE MUMBAI!!!

I have heard rumours that his party - MNS and the Shiv Sena are preparing to attack the Muslim community to avenge this attack. This is precisely what we DON’T WANT! DO NOT POLITICISE THIS EVENT!!!!!!

ENOUGH ALREADY!!!
Porus
A Traumatised Bombayite

I know that someday we would have reached the boiling point when we all would collectively say that ENOUGH is ENOUGH, and my friends the time has come. We all only come to know about how bad our security is only when we are attacked by terrorist and after that only we all awake and start asking questions. I think the terrorists are trying to tell us how weak our security is and how easily they could target us. Now is the time to Unite and stop blaming each other or the government instead its time for action, and please stop thinking that our politicians would do anything, it’s rather on to us only to do something.

I want the government to have NSG at all major places in INDIA (North, South, East, and West) and secondly the government should use our large Human Asset and start recruiting more people in the forces, with better pay, facility and they should only be answerable to their seniors or direct to the PM Office, and not to any politician.

We should ask the government to give powers to RAW, ATS, NSG, CBI or any other Agency like the FIA they are planning to form, basically they should have their own mind to operate and should not wait for any one else to make decisions for them.

I have heard that Pakistan are willing to help INDIA, so now its our duty to identify locations and people we feel are a threat to INDIA and ask the Pakistan government to hand over those wanted Terrorists, with international pressure from the United States of America.

I wish people of INDIA start getting Professional in their approach towards anything and everything regarding Security, to any issue. And I beg our politicians to have a united stand on Terrorism which we faced as a Nation.

I have seen the operation RAT which was done by CNNIBN in 2006, but yet now in 2008 we still are in the same position, with no improvement. We should now focus about our future, if we want or if we see any future, I want to live in India with a peace of mind and without fear.

We are being targeted for the very reason is that we are growing very well economically and we are just seeing a slowdown in growth rather than calling it a meltdown. We should ask people of Corporate India to come forward and help us developing such a system in which we all feel safe. I know it’s not a matter of days but it takes time for good things to happen but at least we should move forward.

I wish that no political pressure should be their on any of the agencies and they should have a direct line of talks with the Prime Minister, just as we have seen with Metro Man or DELHI METRO (Mr. E Shreedharan) so that no hurdle is seen during taking drastic steps for a safer India.

The key to growth is when we grow all, we want the support from every person in INDIA, and to have a Homeland security, I think we should first recycle our attitude and be patient the next time we are in queue for a security check because it is for our safety, but at that time we don’t realise it.

It is the time to change or modify certain things in the Constitution and make more strict laws against terrorism and have a separate judicial system for terrorist. it is the hour of need that we have to show a tough attitude towards everything rather than the CHALTA HAI attitude.

We all should be ready for Change, a change that we all want for a better INDIA.

Vishal, I support your passion for reform and for potecting your nation. Good work and well said. Bu, there are 11th and 12th points that will help your nation deal with terror.

11)Promote individual rights and capitalism for all. The more free a people are, the more they will protect themselves, and less likely to harbor terrorists.

12) Gun rights. If just a handful of citizens in the hotel were armed, the terrorists might not have been as successful.
