BOMBay


Book Description

“No country is sheltered and secure; no piece of land is placid and tranquil. Where we are going, do we know? Is this the same devout and charismatic land of Buddha, Mahavir, Gandhi and Mother Teresa who taught us the profound way of life? Is this the same land, where love, compassion and care were the consciousness of people? No religion promotes terrorism instead terrorism has become the sharp cut religion of the world.” “Fanaticism is the root cause of any religious rebellion.” “Why have terrorists chosen Mumbai, just because Mumbaikars are audacious and adventurous? Is it an easy access? Are they jealous of “Care a Damn” attitude of the Mumbaikars? Are they scared of the beautiful mingling of various religions and cultures under one roof? No matter what the reason may be; religion called “Terrorism” is the most aggressive and alarming philosophy giving impulse to reign of terror in the entire world.”
