I found this interesting letter in the internet. It doesn't address the mumbai blast issue politically, though, this letter is meant to be read on humanity of mumbaiities (or bombayitis). Here is the transcript, as with all forward mail, I don't know about the origin of this letter (or the creator),
Dear Terrorist,
Even if you are not reading this we don't care. Time and again you
tried to disturb us and disrupt our life - killing innocent
civilians by planting bombs in trains, buses and cars. You have
tried hard to bring death and destruction, cause panic and fear and
create communal disharmony but everytime you were disgustingly
unsuccessful. Do you know how we pass our life in Mumbai? How much
it takes for us to earn that single rupee? If you wanted to give us
a shock then we are sorry to say that you failed miserably in your
ulterior motives. Better look elsewere, not here.
We are not Hindus and Muslims or Gujaratis and Marathis or Punjabis
and Bengaliies. Nor do we distinguish ourselves as owners or
workers, govt. employees or private employees. WE ARE MUMBAIKERS
(Bombay-ites, if you like). We will not allow you to disrupt our
life like this. On the last few occassions when you struck
(including the 7 deadly blasts in a single day killing over 250
people and injuring 500+ in 1993), we went to work next day in full
strength. This time we cleared everything within a few hours and
were back to normal - the vendors placing their next order,
businessmen finalizing the next deals and the office workers rushing
to catch the next train. (Yes the same train you targetted)
Fathom this: Within 3 hours of the blasts, long queues of blood
donating volunteers were seen outside various hospital, where most
of the injured were admitted. By 12 midnight, the hospital had to
issue a notification that blood banks were full and they didn't
require any more blood. The next day, attendance at schools and
office was close to 100%, trains & buses were packed to the brim,
the crowds were back.
The city has simply dusted itself off and moved one - perhaps with
greater vigour.
We are Mumbaikers and we live like brothers in times like this. So,
do not dare to threaten us with your crackers. The spirit of Mumbai
is very strong and can not be harmed.
Please forward this to others. U never know, by chance it may come
to hands of a terrorist in Afghanistan, Pakistanor Iraqand he can
then read this message which is specially meant for him!!!
With Love,
From the people of Mumbai (Bombay) and from all the INDIANS.
