mumbai attacks By: alex | Monday , 1 Dec '08 20:30:08 PM Reply | Forward India should prepare for low intensity conflicts . Small groups well armed , well trained . Precise surgical operations. Destroy terrorist dens , training bases in pakistan. No frontal conflict with the PAKISTAN ARMY . Forget about dreams of a " blue water navy " waste of money. Look closer to your shores. Better buy Kevlar, night sights, special weapons " shoot around the corner " ... get in touch with the western ( israeli !!) special forces and learn something from them.

Mumbai Terror AftermathBy: Mike Vig | Sunday , 30 Nov '08 1:04:18 AM Reply | Forward Sarma is so correct to point out that after every attack we go back to sleep after 1 week. Unfortunately, gutless people who are scared themselves happen to govern us. They look for a US or a UN permission to save our own citizens

Mumbai AttacksBy: Deshdrohi Congressi | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 23:32:17 PM Reply | Forward We have captured one terrorist. We will instruct the ATS to torture him to give a false statement that RSS, VHP were behind the attacks so that we can use that as an election stategy win next elections.

Tit for tatBy: Vijay | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 23:14:08 PM Reply | Forward There is no point in talking to Pakistan about terror troubling India.After having lost three wars,they are playing a proxy war with much low budget causing more casualities of police and defence personnel than any war.that too at a modest budget and in our territory.the element of surprise goes to their advantage.they choose the venue.Therefore,India must now counteract using the same technique as suggested by Ahmad and Abbas.In fact, Indiraji had done this in bangladesh in the initial stages before our army liberated it. The present generation of Gandhis should take a leaf from her.That will be a key to their political victory over others rather than minority appeasement technique that has become obsolete.

attack on pakBy: kk | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 21:54:59 PM Reply | Forward The Indian goverment is not only weak but corrupt too. The police force, civil servant and many other employees who provide service are corrupt. The government need to dismantle that and then train the police and the others civic sense and how to deal with the public. Once that is sorted it out then and then police should have the power to check with out warning all madrassas, school, mosques, temples,etc. and bring the guilties to public attention. But unfortunately in India politicians have the habit of interferring a lot and no guilty get punished. Judges have given their decision but vote hungary or greedy politicans won't let the guilty punished.Before attacking Pakistan- India need to be careful in selecting the terror target. I think most of Indian will support in dismantling the training camps and also support USA fighting in Afganistan. I know Americans look after their own interest and it is time Indian need to be like that and do things when it suits them.

Mumbai attack may trigger Indian military response’By: Suresh Rao | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 21:51:37 PM Reply | Forward Stop giving proof to the Paki trecherous heathen. The correct response should be that Indian Intellegence Agents backed by special forces commandoes should infiltrate into Pakistan and liquidate the ISI, Let JeM , MJF and HUJI and theirfinanciers.This is the correct response. Theother thing is totakeout the training campswhich are within the range of ourlongrangeartillery which will eventually lead to moresuch attacks on all theircamps.If they then threaten us with nuclearweapons then call their bluff off with a massive show of strength of our strategic forces.This is the onl;y way in which we can save India.

Terrorism and PakistanBy: Faiz Hakim | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 21:39:58 PM Reply | Forward I am of the opinion that raising the specter of Indian Army action against Pakistan is not effective because the previous "action" was so devoid of any "real action" that now it is another case of simply shouting "boo". I am of the opinion that India needs to put boots on the ground in Afghanistan and help destroy the Taliban and Al Qaeda once and for all and gain the good graces of NATO and US forces for its Kashmir issue which is bound to follow. If we do not win Afghanistan, i.e. make sure the right people win in Afghanistan and that Taliban/Al Qaeda combine find no firm footing there, then we will continue to face a reinvigorated Jihadis for foreseeable future. Kashmir's fate will be decided by what happens in Afghanistan. If the Afghans reach an understanding with the Taliban and let them in the government then these Jihadis will get sanctuary in the Pashtun dominated south for all times to come. We must block that. Then putting the squeeze on Pakistan will make more sense.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?By: Jay Balsara | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 21:24:39 PM Reply | Forward It is easy to sit in front of the television and run at ones mouth. We will all have emotional reactions and responses based on our emotions. But if the past is in any way the predictor of the future, there will probably be some political speeches by vote seekers. Some riots by extremists. And in a few months it will be life as usual. Indian culture has sanctioned corruption as a way of life. There is no guilt associated with accepting bribes or bribing people to get what you want. There is no point blaming the poeple in power because they are like every other Indian whose conscience is quite comfortable with corruption as a way of life. Change will require a psychic change in each individuals mind and this has to begin in childhood. Such a change will take decades if not centuries. One cannot just emulate the west and expect decisive action rom India. It has to be a part of ones psyche and culture. It is obvious India is not ready for it.
