Mumbai Terrorist Attacks

I know no one reads this blog just yet, but I felt I had to start up this blog somewhere and what better item to vitalize it than the Mumbai terrorist attacks.

BBC story : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7753177.stm

I firmly believe that the New York South Asian community should put a strong response out there telling India that our hearts and prayers are with them and telling the international community and terrorist organizations that we will not stand for this sort of violence!

I sent out an email to Suketu Mehta, the resident expert on Mumbai, after writing Maximum City, a book detailing the inner workings of Mumbai.

The South Asian Journalists Association (SAJA) has been running webcasts every couple of hours since the attacks hosting a number of intelligent and important people to give their opinion on the ordeal.

Anyway, what do you think the New York South Asian community should do to respond?
