A song about 26/11....how about hanging Qasab first?

Indians are an emotional lot and many a times we look like emotional fools in the eyes of the world. The following news items does makes us look foolish. A song is being prepared which will be sung by Sonu Nigam and will also have the voice of Amitabh Bachchan, dedicated to the victims of the 26/11 terrorist attack at a day long function commemorating the victims. Now, I am not against the song or dedication but the fact that Qasab is still alive and kicking and has made our judiciary look like a circus is much more crucial issue to be resolved that making a song.

Many innocent lives are lost in terrorist attacks every year. Be it Maoism or Islamic militant groups or LTTE or ALFA or any other group, we as a nation have not been able to do much about tackling the menace. Should we then go around making a song for every attack or make it a yearly process dedicating to all? Making a song, lighting a few candles, giving an emotional lecture and making a few speeches looks silly when the accused is still not convicted. Its similar to making an emotional video when our cricketers go for the World Cup and playing it again and again on air while India gets kicked out in the Prelims itself. Its very irritating and just highlights our incompetency even more.

Won't our police look foolish while arranging a function when the main assassin is asking for mutton biryanis and deodorants?
