Why do you think this did not happen when Bombay was flooded just recently? After all it is a city no stranger to violence with the riots that have taken place.
Re: Why only in New Orleans and not Bombay?
cuz in bombay they do it anyway regardless of floods/natural catastrophe, in US its difficult as all stores have some sortof security systems which get disrupted in such situations.
Re: Why only in New Orleans and not Bombay?
also law enforcing agencies were helpless or busy in helping people to be moved to safer places.
Re: Why only in New Orleans and not Bombay?
^ thats cuz national guard is serving in Iraq.
Re: Why only in New Orleans and not Bombay?
that may be one of the factors, but do you think all of “national guard” is serving in Iraq?
Re: Why only in New Orleans and not Bombay?
Some 6,000 National Guard personnel in Louisiana and Mississippi who would be available to help deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina are in Iraq. The logistical nightmare of deploying troops from other states in a matter of 24 hours is too real.
Re: Why only in New Orleans and not Bombay?
The law enforcement forces were not available in many cases in Bombay. Have a look at the following link.
"We crossed dark homes, and shops and police stations. We met a lot of friendly firemen trying to keep order, but not a single policeman on the way. "

kyonke hindians mahaan hain!
Re: Why only in New Orleans and not Bombay?
Every suburb in Bombay has chilling incidents to narrate during the 93 riots. Both communities participated in it with horrific consequences.
However during the recent floods, things were different. Here is what one resident said: “I survived last night thanks to local residents out on the road in waist high water, who were handing out food and water to countless people walking home.”

Re: Why only in New Orleans and not Bombay?
on awaam ki awaaz ko samaj saka hai koi? 
as i said hindian mahaan hain, you don’t see the difference between NewOrleans and Mumbai residents.
Re: Why only in New Orleans and not Bombay?
The entire city of Mumbai was not in floods, unlike New Orleans. Remember only few hundreds died in NO where as 1500 died in Mumbai.
80% of New Orleans was vacated. Can anyone imagine vacating 18 million people from Mumbai.
Re: Why only in New Orleans and not Bombay?
I expect that number to rise significantly.
Re: Why only in New Orleans and not Bombay?
what exactly are you trying to suggest here? lets hear that.
Re: Why only in New Orleans and not Bombay?
The 1500 number will be easily surpassed.
Re: Why only in New Orleans and not Bombay?
Thotharam
If you have something intelligent to contribute, then do so instead of parroting the same thing over and over again about “hindian mahaan hain”.
Re: Why only in New Orleans and not Bombay?
I wasn’t trying to suggest anything here. Just pointing out that your comment on the security forces was partially incorrect.
All I am looking for a plausible explanation as to why the law-and-order breaks down in a 1st world city whose citizens are generally law-abiding and have no history of riots and violence as compared to Bombay. Yet Bombay survives an Environmental Catastrophe without the anarchy that you would usually expect with any disaster of this magnitude.
Re: Why only in New Orleans and not Bombay?
^ your assumptions are wrong. New Orleans, along with Washington DC has the worst crime rate in the country, year after year. The poverty rate is 30% plus.
Re: Why only in New Orleans and not Bombay?
Islamapura, Ghatkopar, Bainganwadi, Sewri, Cotton Green, Asalpha village, Null Bazar, Govandi, Shivajinagar - every suburb in Bombay had seen violence on the worst scale. In 3 days over a thousand dead in riots. Anything in the US compares to that in recent times?
