In fact this piece points out exactly what Ratan Tata said, "we can be hurt but not knocked down"<BR/><BR/>I don't think India's reputation as a safe haven has been destroyed for long term, things will get gradually better once the recession passes on.KThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18003171771024291876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891023.post-61703756045997505782009-01-02T11:08:00.000+05:302009-01-02T11:08:00.000+05:30I think we won in one sense, the unity and unanimi...I think we won in one sense, the unity and unanimity in not tolerating bad governance. For once we showed the door to politicians resorting to cheap vote-bank politics. It is sad that it had to take an incident of such large magnitude for us to stand together as a nation.Rachnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02275266551382931603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891023.post-46953078747642533722009-01-02T06:41:00.000+05:302009-01-02T06:41:00.000+05:30I agree with you but when people say that we have ...I agree with you but when people say that we have won they just mean it the sense that the fight for now is over but every one knows deep in their heart that it is a a very long war on the entire nation with the terrorists having the advantage.

Tourist flow has dwindled, hotels haev reported cancellations, security costs have gone up, not to mention the major inconveniences and the impact on the collective psyche. This was the objective and this was achieved efficiently. Of course, we can continue to believe we won; we knocked out 9 guys and took one prisoner, didn't we?Rajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09367344161081393779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891023.post-12385211875434263852008-12-31T08:07:00.000+05:302008-12-31T08:07:00.000+05:30We did win.

It gets reported as an insignificant piece in one corner of the 6th or 7th page and probably no mention on TV.<BR/><BR/>We probably have to blame the TV reporters for all this jingoistic hype and gibberish. They are not just reporters,without bias, but are opinionated asses seeking higher ratings. <BR/><BR/>I used to admire Barkha Dutt, but not any more. They seem to me to be the worst parasites (forgive the vehemence)bcos they make financial capital during such events --'Exclusively on your channel' are expressions we hear regularly. Further they criticise the politician who I admire much more than Barkha and her ilk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891023.post-53839200892786625602008-12-24T20:21:00.000+05:302008-12-24T20:21:00.000+05:30How true!And that is all it ever will be after eve...How true!<BR/>And that is all it ever will be after every act of terrorism - we can only limit the damage as their aim is to destroy as much as possible before they are destroyed.<BR/>We can only claim victory for every plan of terror attack that is foiled BEFORE the event.Ushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179239922869639391noreply@blogger.com
