Arundhati Roy, the famous author and social activist takes a look at the Mumbai carnage and dwells deeper to take a look at the fact that Pakistan is not our only concern, and both India and Pakistan are states ready to implode for reasons like VHP, RSS , SIMI , who incite sections of people (their respective audiences) to act against their own countrymen to prove their loyalty and to glorify any particulat sect or religion. She also goes onto justify her stand on questioning the crdibility of politicians, policemen, armymen, the very people that we trust our lives with. Worth a read.
