Salaam Mumbai

The series of high–intensity bombs that went off almost simultaneously in railway stations and trains in Mumbai, July 11, have claimed up to 200 lives and injured over 800, but has failed to succeed in doing what it was aimed to do – strike fear and distrust at the hearts of the people.

The attack of July 11th, targeted at Mumbai’s suburban rail system, which is considered the city’s lifeline, reminded the people of the series of bomb blasts in 1993 that killed over 250 people.

However, the latest attack on innocent civilians has failed to dampen the spirit of the people who have seen similar attacks in 2002 and 2003.
