Xa amapolisa aseIndiya afumana iziqhushumbisi ezishiyekileyo ngolwesiThathu zibandakanya iibhombu ezimbini ze-4-kg ezifihlwe ebhegini kwisikhululo sikaloliwe esikhulu saseMumbai, esongeza kwimeko esele icacile: ukuba ukhuseleko lwelizwe laseIndiya lubuthathaka. Inene, isikhumbuzo esoyikisayo sokhuseleko olubi emva kokubulawa kwabantu okushiye urhulumente evulekele izityholo sibonisa ukuba iinkokeli zombuso ziphose izilumkiso ezibalulekileyo kwaye zaqinisekisa ukongamela kwazo.
Umphathiswa wezokhuselo waseIndiya wabiza umkhosi, iinkosi zomkhosi wasemanzini kunye nomkhosi womoya ukuba zilumkise ukuba zilungele uhlaselo lwabanqolobi oluvela emoyeni naselwandle emva kokugxekwa okukhulayo malunga nokhuseleko olude. Abanqolobi babethe isikhululo sikaloliwe saseChhatrapati Shivaji ngemipu ngobusuku bangoLwesithathu odlulileyo, kodwa abasemagunyeni basivula baza bathi sikhuselekile kusasa ngoLwesine. Inginginya yabakhweli yakhawuleza yabuyela esitishini – enye yezona ndawo zixakekileyo kweli lizwe esele incede izigidi zabakhweli kwezi ntsuku ukusukela oko.
Ixesha lokugqibela ekujoliswe kulo isikhululo sikaloliwe yayingekudalanga kangako. Ngomhla we-11 kaJulayi, 2006, ikhonkco lezikhululo zikaloliwe zaseMumbai zaba sisiqhushumbisi xa uthotho loqhushumbo lwakrazula kumgaqo kaloliwe wabakhweli basentshona kwangoko ngaloo ngokuhlwa (6.20 ukuya ku-7.00 pm). Iziqhushumbisi ezisixhenxe ziqhushumbe koololiwe abaphithizelayo kwizikhululo zaseKhar, eMatunga, eMahim, eSanta Cruz, eJoegshwari, eBorivili naseBhayenda. Enye ibhombu kuloliwe waseBorivili yafunyanwa yaza yachithwa ngamapolisa aseMumbai. Kwabulawa abantu abangaphezu kwe-160, kwaza kwangxwelerheka abangaphezu kwama-200. Uloliwe omnye wahlukana phakathi.
Ezi qhushumbo zilandela indlela efanayo nezenzo zobunqolobi zangaphambili apho iqela leebhombu zaqhushumba kwiindawo ezixineneyo, ekubonakala ukuba zazifike ngexesha longxamiseko. Ezinye iingxelo zalufaka uqhushumbo phantsi kwiqela labavukeli abangamaSilamsi eKashmiri, iLaskhar-e-Toiba, ithe yonyusa ukujoliswa kwabakhenkethi baseIndiya eKashmir. Ke ngaba abakhenkethi baseIndiya basemngciphekweni omkhulu njengoko benceda abanqolobi “ethambileyo” ekujoliswe kuyo eTaj, e-Oberoi nakwisikhululo sikaloliwe saseMumbai?
Kudliwano-ndlebe olunqabileyo no-Krishna Arya, iSebe lezoKhenketho, usekela mlawuli jikelele (intengiso yaphesheya), i-ETN ifunde ukuba zonke iihotele ziceliwe ukuba zihlaziye iinkqubo zazo zokhuseleko. Uthe: “Kuza kujongwa ngokucokisekileyo kuzo zonke iindwendwe kunye nabangengabo iindwendwe abangena kule ndawo. Imikhosi yokhuseleko eyongezelelekileyo isasazwa kwiindawo ezicwangcisiweyo. Kusenokubakho imikhosi yokhuseleko ekhethekileyo iya kwenziwa kwizixeko ezikhulu zaseIndiya. Yonke inkqubo yokhuseleko yenziwa isebenze ngakumbi ngeteknoloji engcono ebekwe endaweni ukuze oku kungenzeki kwakhona. Urhulumente wethu wenza konke okusemandleni akhe ezama ukujonga iinkalo ezahlukeneyo ukujonga ukuba angenziwa njani na la manyathelo. Imikhosi yethu yenze umsebenzi okwinqanaba eliphezulu ngenkalipho kakhulu, idubula bonke abanqolobi, nto leyo eyayinzima kakhulu njengoko bonke abaphethe imipu babengaphakathi ehotele kwaye benokufikelela kuwo onke amagumbi kunye nabathinjwa. Nakubeni kunjalo, ukhuseleko lwethu lusindise ubomi babantu abaninzi.”
Kodwa usihlalo wembali yaseMzantsi Asia, umlawuli wezifundo zamazwe ngamazwe kwiKholeji kaTrinity eHartford, Connecticut, uVijay Prashad ucinga ukuba ubukrelekrele bebungacacanga. “Unxweme lwaseIndiya lukhulu. Akukho mntu unokuqikelela nantoni na. Iilwandlekazi zaseIndiya zinkulu. Ayiloqula lokuqubha kuphela,” utshilo uPrashad. Ubungenakukwazi ukunqanda uhlaselo olunje. Nobukrelekrele, akukho mntu wayenokuwunqanda. La magosa arhoxa ngenxa yokuba kukho ukusilela kweliso lawo; kwaye ndiyambulela uThixo ngokuba ebekrelekrele.”
UArya uxele amaqela amaninzi abakhenkethi ekuqaleni arhoxisiwe; nangona kunjalo, ukusukela ngoMvulo, bathi bahamba nokuba bahamba njani. “Kunokubakho ukucinywa okucacileyo,” utshilo wongeza ukuba emva kokuba ethethe nomkhenkethi wase-Australia oye warhoxisa amaqela amabini, baqinisekisa ukuba bayaqhubeka nohambo lwabo oluya eIndiya. Ubunqolobi bunokwenzeka naphi na ehlabathini. I-Indiya ayinakunyulwa. Ukhenketho kufuneka luhambe ngokuqhelekileyo. Andiqondi ukuba asinako ukuyekelela kwezi zenzo, ngokunjalo noluntu lwehlabathi alunako. Oku kunokwenzeka naphi na. Sivakalelwa kukuba abakhenkethi kufuneka baqhubeke nohambo,” utshilo u-Arya.
Ukuba elona lizwe likhulu lamaSilamsi emhlabeni yi-Indonesia, eyesibini ngobukhulu ayikho iSaudi Arabia, iIran, iJiphutha okanye iPakistan. Ngokwenene, yiIndiya. Ekubeni kukho amaSilamsi amalunga ne-150 lezigidi, iIndiya inamaSilamsi amaninzi kunePakistan.
Ayithethi nto de uloyiko lufakwe kumxube noluntu lwamaSilamsi ngaphakathi eIndiya (okanye oluthengwe kumazwe angabamelwane) olwenze umonakalo eMumbai. Ngokombhali odumileyo uThomas Friedman weyona nto ithengisa kakhulu IHlabathi liFlat, awekho amaSilamsi angamaIndiya esiwaziyo e-al-Qaeda. “Akukho maSilamsi aseIndiya kwinkampu yentolongo yaseGuantanamo Bay yaseMelika emva ko-9-11. Kwaye akukho maSilamsi aseIndiya afunyenwe esilwa ecaleni kwejihadist e-Iraq, ”utshilo.
Kodwa umbhali okwinqanaba eliphezulu wongeze ukuba amaSilamsi aseIndiya anezikhalazo zawo malunga nokufikelela kwikomkhulu kunye nokumelwa kwezopolitiko. UFriedman wathi, “Ugonyamelo phakathi kweenkolo ngamanye amaxesha luye lwaqatsela eIndiya ngemiphumo eyintlekele.”
Umbutho wabanqolobi uDeccan Mujahedeen utyholwa ngokuqhushumba kweMumbai. Kodwa yayisisikhuseli somsi nje. UPrashad ucinga ukuba abanqolobi baphuma kwiqela elalivaliwe ePakistan. “Andiqondi ukuba ilizwe lasePakistan libandakanyeka ngayo nayiphi na indlela. Andiboni nakulo naluphi na uhlaselo olulungelelaniswe yiLeT ukuba amaSilamsi aseIndiya abandakanyeka, utshilo uPrashad, umbhali weMililo eMzantsi Asia. “Edidekile, urhulumente [waseIndiya] ufuna izicombululo ezilula: umthetho ongqongqo ngakumbi, intetho eshushu ngakumbi, nokuthanda ukufudumala. Urhulumente okhokelwa yiCongress Party utyhalwa ngasekunene yi-BJP yobuzwe yamaHindu, ebonakala ngathi ifuna uhlaselo lwangoko ePakistan, uhlobo lokusabela kukaBush ngo-9/11.
Wongeze ngelithi: “Bagxothiwe abo bakurhulumente ophethe ezobuntlola nokhuseleko. ... Kwipalamente yaseIndiya kukho umlinganiselo wokuphendula kurhulumente, ngokwahlukileyo kwinkqubo yethu, apho abantu baphendula kwelona gosa liphezulu linyuliwe.
“Uloyiko yinto ekufuneka siyilwe sonke. Inokutyhafisa okwethutyana abakhenkethi abeza eIndiya. Sinethemba kodwa ukuba izakubuyela esiqhelweni. Sikwayaqonda ukuba i-India izakuba nexabiso eliphantsi ngoku, emva kokuba idola inyukile kwaye iRupee yehle ngeepesenti ezingama-20,” utshilo u-Arya. “Emva kwesiganeko esenzeka eMumbai, abantu banokufumana amaxabiso angcono kwiihotele nakubakhenkethi. Kodwa sinethemba lokuba ukhenketho luya kuphinda lubuyele, ”utshilo u-Arya.
UPrashad, okwangumbhali we "Izizwe Ezimnyama: Imbali yaBantu yeHlabathi leSithathu," ukholelwa ukuba uhlaselo lwakutsha nje alunanxibelelwano ne-al-Qaeda. “Eli qela alinabalandeli OKU. Isenokuba liqela eliye lasekwa emva kokuba imfazwe yase-Afghan iphelile. Le yinto yasePakistan elwela egameni le-United States kunye neCIA e-Afghanistan ngeminyaka yoo-1980 kwaye yahlala eKashmir eIndiya. Basuka kwenye indawo besiya kwenye,” utshilo. Kambe ke, likho eli cala lonqulo apho. Kodwa abanqolobi abaphenjelelwa lunqulo kodwa ngamava aseAfghanistan abaya nawo eIndiya.”
UJacqueline Cabasso, umalathisi oyintloko weWestern States Legal Foundation ebeka iliso kumgaqo-nkqubo wezixhobo zenyukliya, nokwanegalelo kwincwadi ethi Nuclear Disorder or Cooperative Security, wathi: “Imeko phakathi kweIndiya nePakistan isoloko ibaluleke gqitha kuba zombini zinezixhobo zenyukliya yaye zinamandla gqitha. ngenxa yokungazinzi kwalo mmandla. Isivumelwano samva nje se-US-India senyukliya, esixhaswe ngu
U-Obama, uClinton kunye noBiden - iBiden iyinyanzele kakhulu - iyijongele phantsi iinzame zokungabhebhethekisi.
UPrashad uthe iIndiya kunye nePakistan kufuneka zijongane nale mibutho yezogrogrisi kunye. “Akumele kubekho uhlaselo olukhawulezileyo ePakistan. Yintoni eyimfuneko, kufuneka benze uphando lwamapolisa olucokisekileyo ukuze baqinisekise ngokufanelekileyo ukuba ngubani owenze le nto ukuze abantu basiwe ematyaleni - njengemizamo edibeneyo ye-Indiya nePakistan. Hayi unilaterally, kodwa kunye. Sikholelwa ukuba i-Indiya kufuneka iqokelele ulwazi olwaneleyo kwaye iye kwiZizwe eziManyeneyo kwaye isebenze nePakistan; ungahlaseli iPakistan kwangoko, ”utshilo.
Kwimfazwe yenyukliya enokubakho phakathi kwezizwe, uPrashad wathi, “Hayi. Hayi. Ayinakwenzeka loo nto. Oku kuya kupheliswa. ” Uthe eli lithuba elihle lokuba bobabini babonise ilizwe ukuba bangakwazi ukujongana nempixano…”kungenjalo babuyele kwinqanaba lokuqala.”
