    People were shouting slogans against politicians, blaming them for the state of affairs in the country.

    At the Jantar Mantar, Zulfikar Ali, a software engineer, said the only way to address the ‘crucial and distressing’ issue of terrorism is by becoming a part of the solution.

    "After all, as along as India is 'of the people, for the people, by the people', we will be fully responsible for the change that we want to see in her," Ali said.

    TIME TO TAKE ACTIONBy: manu | 04-Dec-2008 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 | 04-Dec-2008 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 | 03-Dec-2008 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 | 03-Dec-2008 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 | 03-Dec-2008 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 | 21-Jan-2009 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
