The main motive of the Mumbai terror attack was to divide and rule. However, their plan fell on their face when over 10,000 people, including me, marched to the Gateway of India highlighting the undying solidarity. I’m proud to be a part of the wave of this Indian spirit, replete with emotions, anti-politician feelings, all blue and white collar youth, and the show of power and patriotism. This was the first time in the history of India that people in such large number came together openly, contrary to the actual motives of the terrorists. And that too without a single hired-political-goon.

Old, young, women, children, Hindus, and Muslims, carrying candles, joined hands and waved the Tricolor. The message was clear and simple. We are all fed up from our incompetent politicians. People in the anti-terror rally were also shouting slogans against all politicians and parties, including Congress and BJP. Many people were distributing pamphlets, taking petitions, signatures and carrying banners and placards with strong messages - “Enough of terrorism”, “Let us kill terrorism Halla Boll!”, “Politicians get out” and “We want actions not words”. A street play was also been played.

For the first time I saw a group of Sikhs distributing tea and water and organizing a “langar”, not organized for any religional cause, but for people protesting against our political system.

These are the real people of India. This is real India.

Update: Just after the rally, CM, Mumbai, Deskmukh has resigned. This is third minister and I feel its only tip of iceberg.
