Human lives : The value, as seen by the media.

Number of people shot dead by the Pakistani lunatics at Mumbai CST: 58
At Oberoi: 33
At Taj: 32
At Leopold: 10
At Nariman House: 8


Media attention on the tragedy, stories of anxiety and pain of victims and survivors: in the reverse order.

Probable reason: People at CST were ordinary citizens, poor, and common men - the least valuable lives in India.

People at Nariman House: The most valuable human lives: Jews, white men/women.
People at Taj, Oberoi, and Leopold: Tourists, foreigners, Rich business men, MPs, etc.
The next most valuable lives in India.

To the international community: When will you count each human life terminated with such atrocities with equal grief and pain? Irrespective of religion, race, color of skin, nationality and stature in society?
