Petty PoliticsBy: Yatin | 07-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward Politics is breeding ground for all the terror outfits operating in INDIA. We as a nation are not fit for democracy. We need dictatorship or atleast operate as CHINA for us to succeed in the long run. Every minister of our has a different opinion on who is associated with terror and how to deal with it. Shame on us that we cannot be united against people who are killing our brothers and sisters. We are waiting for someone from our family to die before we can be part of war on terror........Why do terrorists never kill politicians........is it because they are their staff members?

Result of propangandaBy: Manish | 07-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward After 2002 Gujarat riots, our so called secular media initiated a single point tirade against BJP and Narendra Modi. Every dirty trick was used to malign them. Muslim community was portrayed as the only victim of the riots. State of Gujarat was charged, without any shred of proof, that it was in complicity with the rioters. Rims and rims of paper was doled out with this narrative. All this probably instilled sense of victimhood in these young minds. And, the results are here. I am sure this is just the tip of the iceberg, if one were to scratch further one would find deep resentment/sense of victimhood among younger muslims. Now, who created these terrorists? Offcourse our so called liberal/secular media by its irresponsible and biased reporting, editorials, and opeds. What ISI could not do in the last fifty years, our great media accomplished in less then six years.

PropagandaBy: Yatin | 07-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward Yes, i concur, news selling gimmicks and irresposible media has done much damage to our society and to india as a nation then so called Pakistani Jihadi's could ever do. Petty politics is doing harming us more than these terror outfits, coz politics is breeding ground for all extremism in INDIA.

Implode extremismExtermism has to be fought from within.By: Shivraj Gokhale | 07-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward All of us who live in modern and secular India have to take resolve to fight extremism of all kinds ploitical ,regional or religious. Each one fights extremism in his own religion , in his own political outfit or in his own community ,state or region. Extremism has to be fought by each individual from inside . That is what all of us can do to implode extremism.

CHANGING PHASE - NOT HEALTHY SIGNBy: nufrendzs | 07-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward it use to be foreign mercineries fighting in Kashmir , then kashmiris adopting gun culture , then uneducated muslim youth were projected as involved in terror acts and an altogether NEW PHASE -- even educated

Something worth thinking By: shoaib zaman | 07-Oct-2008 Reply | Forward I have certain points like why these educated and young people got involved, what was the reason for the push to such extreme measure? Two the officers investigating the cases, how many are of the stature of Kiran Bedi, Bhatti? (very objective and clean background; one that wont change reports on pressures and bigness) If these people are truly responsible then they should be judged on Islamic laws in which there is death penalty for killing innocent but if its framed then it should be addressed seriously. Also what should be addressed is why suddenly so many educated, affluent people are getting disaffected.
