Mumbai Terror - 26/11 Charge Sheet Released

Well, we do all have seen the disasterous face of terrorism during the Mumbai Terror attacks. It was just a day to be enough specific - 26/11. The date itself when heard brings tears, the tremendous number of innocent people who had lost their lives for no reason, their families i pity. It was truly a dreadful disaster and hope history does not repeat itself anytime again. And it is we who has to prevent this happening in future. How??? - If this is your question, then the answer for it is by helping the police in any sense possible. Well many of us have under-estimated our Indian Police, but let me tell you they have really done a ton of work to have this charge sheet release. Now I adore them...

On Wednesday(25/02/09) filed a 11,280-page chargesheet in the Mumbai terror attack before metropolitan magistrate MJ Mirza at the Qila Court in the city.

The chargesheet names 47 accused including the lone terrorist captured alive during the Mumbai attacks, Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab; Fahim Ansari, the terror suspect arrested from Uttar Pradesh, and Sabauddin Mohammad.

Fahim and Sabauddin are the two Indians involved in the attack while all other 45 accused are Pakistanis. The 45 Pakistanis include nine terrorists killed during the Mumbai attacks and Kasab.

"We have garnered evidence in our investigation to prove that maps were provided by Fahim and Sabauddin to help the perpetrators to launch attacks," said Joint Commissioner Rakesh Maria, the officer investigating the Mumbai terror attacks case.

"The Mumbai attackers took people held as hostage to higher vantage position to sustain the siege at the Taj Hotel, Oberoi Hotel and Nariman House and made no attempt to get in touch with any governmental or police to negotiate," Maria said.

"The 26/11 mission was a fidayeen (suicide attack) mission," he added.

Fahim and Sabauddin made detailed maps and carried out reconnaissance of all the important locations & passed it on to the terrorists who carried out the attacks.

During the investigations the test identification parade of the dead terrorists was also carried out with Maria revealing that it was the first time that conducted identification parade of dead bodies.

The chargesheet also established the role of marine wing of Lashkar-e-Taiba in carrying out the attacks.

"Kasab revealed during the interrogations that he was promised Rs 1.5 lakh to carry out the attacks," said Maria.

The accused wanted from Pakistan are Lashkar-e-Toiba operatives including the terror groups top commanders Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi, Zarar Shah and Abu Qama.

Two of the accused were reportedly army personnel and the police are investigating if they were still with the Pakistani Army or are not part of the the LeT.

All the 10 terrorists who attacked Mumbai were trained in Pakistan with Lashkar-e-Taiba accused of planning and executing the entire operation

Now, I wait to see that these bloody terrorists get death sentence for what they have caused to India...

OSC"AR" RAHMAN AND RESUL POOKUTTY

Hurray!

"Mere paas ma hai(My mom is with me). In the course of my life i always had choice of Hate and Love - i chose Love and i'm here. God is Great"- AR Rahman after winning the Oscar for Best Original Score and Best Original Song

"This is Unbelievable. I dedicate this award to the whole of India. This is not just a sound award this is history in my hands" - Resul Pookutty after winning the Oscar for Best Sound Mixing


The Slumdog's Journey ends at the last stop - the OSCAR's and with an outstanding clean sweep of awards (8/10). What an Oscar Ceremony it was for India in particular!...I'm totally spellbound. I was expecting this but not these many. The 81st Oscar's will be etched in the history of indian cinema (more specifically the indian music industry) as the first ever Oscar's yielding a massive three awards by Maestro Rahman and Mixer Resul.

Coming to the core of the movie 'Slumdog Millionaire', personally it didn't work for me, in the sense that it was not logically sound. But the way Danny Boyle (Academy's Best Director) culminated all the technicians, cast, designers was fabulous and Oscar Worthy.

--> They say a good start leads to a very good middle and to a roaring finish. Slumdog has them all. The way Irfan Khan starts with his powerful "Madar****" dialouge in the jail with Jamal
>and Rahman's rousing 'O Saya' (the choice of train sound while it starts, was a master piece and i have no words for rahman sahab.. it was in chorus with the steps towards success)
>and the use of bollywood style music by simon beafouy to play with those little slumdog's fleeing away on the runway
>and the way Danny Boyle captured the escape sequence in sync with them-altogether it was a rollicking start.

-->Resul's Sound mixing was absolutely fantastic in the middle of the movie. Particulary for me the 'Ring Ring Ringa ... sequence' was rattling, as one of my friend said 'the sound and the singer's voice resonated in the ear even after leaving the cinema hall'.

-->Most of the Music Director's score according to the scene depicted by director, but in Rahman's case it's reverse...his background score dictates the scene. From his evergreen Bombay Theme (My FAV) which has been used extensively by Mani Ratnam in the film Bombay to his Latika's Theme in Slumdog, he has captivated each and everyone of his diehard fan's all over the world today.

Listen to Bombay Theme and Latika's Theme from AR RAHMAN's track list on last.fm
or Listen from the below playlist :-




-->and JAI HO... at the end > there would have been no other better finish to movie that has won many heart's. The choreogarphy was awesome too. The lead actors Dev Patel and Frieda Pinto share an excellent chemistry between them.

Resul Pookutty the 'underdog' when compared with Rahman got his big break with the critically acclaimed 2005 film Black. Then he minced,merged,mingled and mixed with audience emotions in movies like Zinda, Gandhi-My Father, Traffic Signal, Sawariyaa, Musafir, Ghajini and has finally got the deserved international fame this time with Slumdog Millonaire.

If 'AR' was born directly into Hollywood he would have got an Oscar even before the release of "Lagaan". Well it's better late than never... he finally got '2' - what we all think is very well deserved.

JAI HO...Rahman...it's DIL SE from all of us.

Take a close look at Rahman at his Official Website
