for your defenders are dead – 14 police including ATS head Hemant Karkare, encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar, and ACP Ashok Kamte died defending Mumbai

the men who claim to love you have no spine – where is the Thackeray khandaan. where is their famed love for Mumbai. Why aren’t they out in solidarity for this city and its people

Those who covet your riches have only avarice in their hearts – politicians flew in. showed their faces. murmured their sympathies and left. None of them of any value…a nation of a billion people and no leadership

those who want to defend you don’t know how – all of us…

and your most beautiful jewel in your crown lies in tatters ….


cry your heart out now. for now is the time to cry.

Tomorrow you have to get stronger. You have to find new defenders, new lovers, and those who care for you for who you are, and not what you can give them. And, more important than that … you have to demand justice and get it…. no matter what it takes.
