TIME TO TAKE ACTIONBy: manu | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 11:29:00 AM Reply | Forward To all Politicians, Dont make false promises this time ..Every Indian is expecting ACTION this time...Its ENOUGH now....

Public Voice ??By: Naresh Joshi | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 10:33:22 AM Reply | Forward Excuse me Mr.writer, but this is not puiblics opinion. This is medias opinion. MEdia thinks that it is god and wotever will be printed in media will become voice of public, but this is sheer lie, let me tell you.Indians have never waited for media to arouse them out of a situation. Media is just a puppet in hands of Congress. Indians act at the correct time and that correct time will come when you all will have to report what u people dont like.

People protestBy: Danesh Patel | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 23:49:53 PM Reply | Forward Don't worry, my fellow Indians. Pakistan and other Muslim countries are going to implode from within. The conflict between Shia, Sunnis, Kadiyanis, etc. and the wars like that between Iran and Iraq will kill hundreds of thousands of people. The "brave" Pakistanis rape and kill their young girls and throw acid if they go to school. They kill their leaders be it Benazir, her brother, or Bhutto. Every week, terrorists throw bombs somewhere in Pak. Thank God for Israel too. That tiny country of 6 million beating the shit out of 170 million long beards". American bombs create havoc in Iraq and Pakistan too. And what have these brave people done? Nothing but cry like nincompoops. So let us relax and watch while the Muslims destroy themselves and secular India continues to prosper.--Danesh Patel

Hijro ka sarkarBy: Pranesh Sinha | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 23:42:37 PM Reply | Forward Hang Afzal first. Start punishing terrorist. Poeple of India should push this case first. Congress is not going to do this unless people put pressure on the Hijro ka sarkar. People must punish all corrupt leaders. Enough is enough.

Just an ObservationBy: Ronald Brijlall | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 23:41:51 PM Reply | Forward THIS IS JUST AN OBSERVATIONSince India is the land of my ancestors ad it has been in the news here alot, I paid great attention.I was kind of disappointed by the Indian Government's lackluster response on International Television. I saw how articulate, coordinated and all in unison how the Pakistani response was to the accusations. Look at Haqqani, Sherry Rahman and the Pak PM on CNN.However, we are yet to see an articulate, sophisticated presentation of India's arguments on the International media.The Indian PM's statement after the attacks seem like he was a kindergartener reading from a placard. Even the new conferences are a confusing bunch of things.Come on India !!! Cant you even try to win the Public Relations battle at least !!!

IndiaBy: Tim Young | Wednesday , 21 Jan '09 2:52:44 AM Reply | Forward Ron,I understand the frustration.But the REAL fact is US media is so biased on this respect.India pointed out the Pakistani link to Terrorism before US dumped more than $ 2 billion to Pakistan. Now, all of sudden US Govt. and US media see Pakistan as Terrorist ally and not US ally. India made a storng presentation but it never received coverage in US

Through investigation is need of the hoursBy: Concerned Indian | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 23:35:52 PM Reply | Forward Mumbai police and CBI should investigate from angles sincerely, honestly and fairly. Terrorism is a big problem in India and all small details and groups from any religion whether muslim, sikh, hindu or christians, should be investigated scientifically and justly in order to avoid repeate of terrorist attacks.The repeated attacks by terrorist is a living evidence that our agencies are doing shallow investigations and linient to groups who are considered as vote banks to a particular party.The recent reactions and opposition from BJP and Shivsena towards the investigation of terrorist from Majority community should not be tolerated as it gives pressure on agencies to slow down or close the investigation in those angles.Killing of ATS Chief Hement Karkare is becoming slowly a big issue due to inconsistent report on the way he was killed and cirumstances and the threat he received for his life during the investigation of a particular group of terrorist.

Pranab Mukarjee?By: Mohan | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 23:33:37 PM Reply | Forward The foreign minister Pranab Mukarjee never cared for the public, he was the guy who told “elected members vote for the president not the public, and Abdul Kalam should leave the office immediately”; do you think he will care for the public safety?

Misplaced AngerBy: Ronald Brijlall | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 23:19:07 PM Reply | Forward I am from the West Indies. My ancestors were from India. Reading all these reports on the protests are interesting. But Indians need to understand that they have the power to elect these leaders. The politicians are a reflection of th Indian people. Afterall, we elect people we feel are most like us, right?These protests are all misplaced anger. Protest Beauracracy, which allows court cases to sit for 40 and 50 years. Protest all the red tapes that are in the Indian Govt. Protest Religious/Muslim Vote banks. Protest the great Indian polity living in illusions. They wont call a spade a spade. "terrorism has no religion" oh Please !!! Fight Islamic Terrorism by admitting that there is actually something like that. I do not mean that you attack muslims. India needs to realize that India's success, strenght and Unity not only depends on how they respect their own 5000 years old religion/culture/traditions but also how they uplift their poor and neglected. This also includes muslims.

Act NowBy: Bahadur | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 23:18:59 PM Reply | Forward India must do what needs to be done. More than 1050 years (Since Ghazani), India is facing this garbage. Did USA waited for world opinion after 9/11?? I wish India follows USA's action but not advice.
