Chain Mail

By now, most of the surfers know about the chain mail thats going on. Its a letter written by Ashok Chavda that was published in rediff (I didn't read the original. I just got the chain mail).

My friend, Anonymous, decided to present the point of view of the terrorist and here he goes.

Response from a Terrorist:

You cowards of the Gandhian ideoology keep proving that you are the most vulnerable targets in the world. We attacked New york once, London once but we have attacked you repeatedly not once or twice but eleven times and got away with it. Your leaders can only bark after such an attack but do not have any nerve to take on us. You will see your own death, you will see destruction around. You will never feel safe. Don't take pride in a shameless act of getting back to normal business within hours of attack and call that as an act of bravery. You have to do it because you cannot surivive without working for a single day. It is the poverty and desperation that is making you get back to business and not your valor.

A man who is sleeping can be woken up but not the one who feigns.You guys know what we want but you will never accept it or deal with it because your flawed secularism will be proved wrong. Till that feeling prevails ,victory is ours. We fear Israel, we fear US but we laugh at India.

Your forwarded message sucks.



Not the one to take things lying down, my cousin decided to take the terrorist head on. And here he goes.....


Dear Terrorist,
Thank you for your response. I am not the OP of this
thread (who btw is Ashok Chavda), but I wanted to present u my thoughts on this issue.

I agree with what you had to say about the pointless statements of our politicians. But what I fail to understand is why do you wanna bomb a place where ppl dont care about life or death. If you had bombed New York or London twice, people would have been afraid to venture out to work and you would have managed to accomplish the motive of the bombings - i.e to create terror. But repeatedly bombing a place like Bombay only reminds me of a quote - Insanity is defined as doing the same thing and expecting different results.

We do get back to normal life not bcoz of mumbai spirit, but bcoz we need to work to survive in this city. While this whole drama brings out the hypocrites in us, it also brings out the lack of purpose in your motives and a lack of intelligence in implementation.

You dont attack the US or London bcoz it is very difficult to penetrate a country with naturally protected borders and friendly neighbours. Its too much for your peanut sized brains and naturally you dont wanna waste the little that is left.

This whole feeling of euphism on your part reminds me of the sense of accomplishment that India feels when our cricket team beats Zimbabwe on home grounds.

You can continue to bomb us and we will continue to return to our normal lives.
the question is .. we have 14 million people and more coming.. do you have the time and patience???
