Exactly a year since 11/26 Mumbai

Sumantra Maitra

* Exactly a year since 11/26, Mumbai. Nothing changed, basically. Same skulduggery by Pakistan, same confusion of U.S.A. and U.K., and same dithering on the part of the Govt. of India. Meanwhile it costs a bloody Rs. 31 Crore ($6,700,000) to keep the terrorist Ajmal Amir Kasab alive and secured for trial… in the last year! And you thought the recession was because of economy!
It costs Rs. 31 crore to keep a terrorist alive!

* Talking about Mumbai, here’s a view from one of the most influential Israeli dailies. Israel, by the way, had the highest number of casualties in the terror attack after India, followed by U.S.A. and Britain, when a Jewish Chabad house was specifically targetted by the gunmen.

    The biggest issue for India and indeed any country is where to strike back after the incident has happened. You may hit back at Pakistan but exactly where do you hit it so that people can see the impact of the retribution.

    The terrorist has taken that opportunity away and it makes deterrence very difficult. You can harden a target after its been hit but it doesn’t help the fact that you haven’t hit back at the terrorist. If the terrorist is nowhere and everywhere it creates quite a problem.
