Wow! The plot thickens. Any leads out, Arjun?

5 blasts. These are certainly criminally motivated.

I’m so tempted to say it has something to do with the latest developments in the nuke deal...

It is really shocking Grace...

Terrorism have gripped the whole country. Nobody is safe anywhere.

I really hope that it doesn’t get linked with Nuclear deal. We have already seen and heard a lot in regard to Nuclear deal.

More than one opposing faction right now in India. Quite confusing.

There’s the nuke deal (the latest being that the US can withdraw the deal if India does a blast and buys nuclear armaments somewhere else and not from the US) AND, of course, the Muslims who are demanding self-determination and self-rule.

Really, before the very recent past, it is unimaginable that terrorism will be present in India.

This is shocking!
Delhi is a high security zone, if such blasts can happen there then they can happen anywhere...

This can mean many things - reaction to nuke deal, involvement and support of local people, communal angle, spread of terrorism, lack of intelligence and security...

More bombs are being defused...I hope all IB folks at Delhi are safe...

This is not really shocking, given how incompetent and less interested our governments are, when it comes to security of a ”aam aadmi” (common man). The terrorists were just waiting for security efforts to reduce post Independence day and than strike.

The only long term solution is to make sure all of us as citizens of India start respecting our fellow citizens from all sects and religions and make them feel part of our country.

Hi,

This is really shocking. Nice comment I do appreciate you comment. You got it right on the money. Look in USA we have religious freedom and we have strict LAW and no one is above the LAW. Start banning organization which propagate communal message no matter from which Religion they come from. IF people dont start demanding this then it will be a tought thing. Rather than focusing on the progress of India our politians are always playing religion card to gain votes.
People of India are normally carried away with what politians say. Which is the biggest problem.
The supreme court system has be strong enough to bar any politians who incites voilence and if he has any criminal record then he should not be allowed to run for any government post.

Hi EveryOne,
I am suprised! Let me give you guys the backgroud on why these bombs where exploded. A few days back SIMI organization ban was lifted and the government of India could not digest it and all other communal forces like BJP,VHP,Bajrandal. So they decided to get the decision in their favor from Supreme court and wanted to create an environment so that in future SIMI ban cannot be lifted.So as soon as this happend serial blasts starts shaking cities in which innocent people lives were lost. This was an act done by people who want all the blame to be on MUSLIMS. After that media and governement starts blaming SIMI and arresting SIMI activists without any charge or with false accusations.
The email was traced to Mumbai APT where an American National was living and he is allowed to leave the coutry... Well Well this is the LAW of INDIA. Had he been a muslim then all the blame would have been thrown on him and he would have been detained and the news story would have been— Terrorist found in the heart of Mumbai with BOMB making material and other blaa blaaa....
What kind of intelligence we talk about when the whole system is corrupt. You have Facist people running the system and for their needs they can provide any evidence they want.
INDIA is not a secular country where the religious rights of minorities are protected. As recently in Orissa innocent christians where slaughtered for what ? Propagating their religion.... Unless governement of India does not ban organizations like VHP, RSS, Bajrangdal it will tough to call India a secular country because they can take LAW into their hands at any time by saying we are defending our country. Well Sounds great!

@ Ranjan and Madhusudan

The writer of the article, Arjun, got exactly what I meant by the word ”Wow.”

”...really shocking...”

That is exactly what I meant, along with ’very tragic.’

You might know the word ’wow’ as an expression of amazement or glee. There are, however, other meanings of the word ’wow.’

Wow!

PS Sorry, Arjun, for this digression.

Hi All,

This is sad but not shocking. Forget about common man, we are country where we have seen politicians supporting Afzal Guru, who actually tried to kill them. This is what vote banking has been in our country. How can we believe that rights of common man will ever be protected.

1. Big leading Israel defence company who recently invented automated explosive detection systems, which are installed in tel Aviv airport and when they approached state governments much before Jaipur blasts and both state and central government. Our government bureaucrats said they know how to handle things and if they will ever face need then we can develop it. Proposal was to install these system in airports and all major shopping markets and rather state governments doing it, central government should do it. Soon after 15 days, we had Jaipur, Bangalore, Ahembdabad and now Delhi.

2. United States government requested MEA and central government that terrorists are no longer using local tactics and are being trained on international grounds. In Iraq they are facing with new kind of assault every day. They requested that they would like to work closely with state governments and share info. on latest mechanisms used by them. MEA and Home affairs were too busy in Other things.
Ahmadabad and Now in Delhi, operatives used cylinder based IED’s. This is first time they are using it and in last year in Iraq we have seen this as new IED’s form.

Either central government realizes funds like EHRM of 200 crores each, or brings open policy for international cooperation on counter terrorism tactics or starts creating talent based industry in India, till then we are most easy picks.

Ms. Kanchan i respect your feeling but problem is that after every terror strike we try to show we are united and the fact is that it is all false. We are not united but it is by virtue of ignorance and we are just least bothered and think that these things are part of our life. We as Indians are ignorant and cowards, who are too afraid for our lives and just care for ourselves and only get concern when we ourselves become the victim. Time is not to sit in our homes and say we are united but actually act like that. We cannot have unity between two brothers, two neighbors, two cities, two clans, two religions, two states, two countries. We all who are saying we are united are the ones when we sit at home blame one person or other person. Common man needs to show we are one human beings. Neighbors never talk ill about your family till their is some hole in your family, similarly there is something wrong in our system and that is our thinking. We cannot suddenly change things, but start small. We need to change our attitude, stop office politics and respect everyone viewpoint, then you will begin other things and that will finally make safer India.

I do not know where u r Vivek but I live in CP. I am not only trying to get a sense of normalcy but seeing most around me strive to do the same.That is what makes Delhites resilient

Yes people are always united, they are united either to do good or bad, only in unision such crimes of terror can be conceded

You can hardly compare office politics with Terrorism.

The credit for the blasts has been claimed by a little known group called the Indian Mujahideen.It briefly surfaced last year(once);and now this sad sequence of bombings.

How I wish this would stop;yet Iknow that sad for us -but in both countries this will only increase.May God Bless the departed souls,and grant to their next of kin the patience and fortitude to bears the loss.And may the injured recover speedily.

’You can’t link office politics with Terrorism”

1. Jagmohan got transferred from Kashmir for stopping separatists to come out openly.

2. NE states has less MP’s in parliament, as a result were ignored over years, which resulted in 150 underground groups in NE states.

3. When Kashmir separatists landed in Maharashtra and Karnatka for engineering were given red carpet welcome by local groups. Warned by IB groups, what did NCP and Congress do?

4. 1993, Who gave escape route to Dawood Ibrahim from Colaba helipad till international water boundary of India? Do not know the answer, find it out.

5. Azamgad, UP?

6. Rural areas of Orissa, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh farmers wanted technologies, funds to support farming, what was the use of industries which let to unlimited people die over years, which led to Red Army.

This is just a drop of an ocean, what politics has to do with politics.

”I will try to explain how our attitude of office politics results in Terrorism”

In my previous reports and solutions recommended to government we expalined that we need to solve terrorism by applying right strategy.

Terrorism has three layers:

A. Top layers is fund raisers, leaders who are simply mad and you cannot do anything about them

B. They are the elocutionist and very well educated youth who are brain washed and get frustrated over the years by the ignorance of people and when their viewpoint is not understood.
This is where we need to stop office politics, because this is the symptoms of our attitude to talk ill about someone without understanding or respecting other person. This is in our blood and we need to stop and love all beings and try to understand and respect everyone. This can only change by small change, first stop talking ill about anyone and that you can start from home and office and only then you will stop talking ill about other religions, castes, states.

c. This layer is of people who are actually here because of economic reasons and just want to feed their family.

We had suggested that Layer A exists because of support of Layer C. Layer B exists because of Layer A.

Best solution is to understand the talent of Layer C and accordingly develop business solutions and develop talent based industry. Reason is that most of insurgents are paid INR 15K on an average/month and when asked to leave they say simple thing that if they leave their jobs they have to work as workers for mere 3.5-4K/Month and how can they feed their family, thus they think it is better to die and feed family till they are alive than see them dying of hunger in front of their own eyes. Thus econ0mic solutions have to be talent based not based on education or skill set.

If layer C is brought back then Layer A can easily be crushed. As far as Layer B is concerned, we need to respect everyone and they are our friends and they just left us on wrong path because of our ignorance. Otherwise This layer B will always try and wish to become layer A and the day they become layer A, they will seek poor people and places and again form layer C.

So, that is why we need to change our attitudes, it is not respecting Muslims, respect everyone around you and if you feel bad about someone then talk to him rather than talking to third person about him. Respect everyone’s viewpoint.

The bombs that were diffused in Gujarat speak volumes about how governance can be manipulated. Trying not to rake up a controversy here, I find it too much of a coincidence that cops found so many bombs and diffused them. Planted intentionally ’not to go off’, I guess. And I’m sure there’s more to these blasts than just the cruel face of terrorism.

Hi,
I do agree. It is like knowing where the bombs are and start defusing in front of the camera. That was really a pupet show. Bomb defusing only happens in India. The faces of terrorism in India are the parties and organizations like BJP, VHP , RSS, Bajrandal. Why the government of India does not ban them. This is the baised law of INDIA.
