Starting this month, the focus will shift to India who boasts of being the largest democracy in the world. The entire world is watching as the court tries Kasab in Mumbai.... and each proceeding will be scrutinized by the legal councils around the world. Kasab the only surviving terrorist of the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai gained world wide notoriety as he and his team mates targetted foreign nationals in India. That probably is one of the major reasons why a larger world wide audience has gathered. For a long time now, India has been attempting to unveil Pakistan's direct involvement in anti-terrorist activities rampant in various parts of India. Due to lack of sufficient proof, India has been unsuccessful in doing so. With this trial, India hopes to provide proof to the world.... and hence all eyes are on us. Which is a good thing because for the world to take notice and accept the charges being made, the Indian lawyers and judicial system have to do an impeccable job.
Also taking place in India are the elections.... and with the kind of times we are living in... filled with threats of nuclear wars, need of wars against terrorism and fight against recession........ the new government has some mighty big challenges to face.
And to dim this glare is the success brought by Slum dog Millionaire... however twisted this success may be... it did being Dharavi in focus which apparently has instigated some movements and initiatives for the betterment of the slum dwellers. How effective these initiatives will be or how true their intentions even are.... is something that only time will reveal.
So buckle up India.... there is quite a lot to prove here!
