Did we Indians grieve like that?

Thousands of black clad Israeli Orthodox Jews attend the funeral of Arieh Levish Teitelbaum, one of the Israeli victims of the Mumbai attacks, on December 2, 2008 in Jerusalem. Wailing and chanting psalms, thousands of people bid a final farewell today to the six Jews killed in last week's bloody Mumbai attacks and whose bodies were flown to Israel for burial.

Yes,this stunned me too,I had no words to describe the feelings as one saw a whole nation grieving so openly and for one of their ‘own’…..
but then a very painful past perhaps makes them more aware and more united than any other nation….they are the only ones of their kind together as a nation…
We perhaps are too complacent….and have not really experienced this sense of empathy…..we don’t wake up till it strikes us or those we love….
amazing way of asking a brilliant question…
