Why India attracts Terror attacks

Last weekend was the one of the saddest chapter in India's tryst with terrorist with serial balsts happening in Bengaluru and Ahmedabad. How many to count ? Mumbai ( thrice ) , Delhi , Hyderabad , Bengaluru , Jaipur and Ahmedabad and not to forget Kashmir ( almost on a daily basis) . It seems that India is attracting terrorists more than any country in the world ( US Counting) . You can watch the history at http://www.globalincidentmap.com/map.php

It is high time all of us should spare a moment on pondering on this thought " Why us ? " I have following thoughts . Viewers are welcome to add in their comments / views

1. Pakistan - The number 1 reason why we have this issue across India. The deep hatred in Indo Pak relationship over the last 60 + years is the root cause of so many LeT , SIMI et als getting the funding and support from ther across the border. Why we an not do anything about it ? Two reasons - First , we were always pretended to be on the wrong side of the fence with US with our foreign policy. None of the political parties have the will to take hard ball stance with Pakis and kill the weed before it starts weekning your national fabric. We only share the evidence that ISI runs terrorist training camps with US , we only share that terror networks are funded by Pakis. If we have crushed this with a swift military action @ 10 years back , this day would not have been there. Every body now belives that India is a soft target and can not hit back even if 1000 lives are lost. We idiots will waste enough steam on Nuclear power deal and horse trading? Have we ever convened a special session of parliament to discuss National safefy and security? Have we ever taken a across party decision to hit hard at terrorists ?

Does any body remember the attack on parliament ? The son of bitch who did it is still alive and making political statements and our government is waiting for an auspicious day to hang the bastard. Kill him now.

2. Jammu and Kashmir - a Policy gone wrong for last 60 years . Get the poor Kashimiris in the main stream quick and fast . Scrap Article 370 and allow investments in the valley. I wonder why the local Kashmiri politicians understand the simple economic truth - Investement brings in growth and growth generates more jobs. Try this route at least and see if it solves the Kashnir problem. In stead of listening the Gen Mush's out of box solution , try this out once and see the difference. Get US a base in J&K to act as a wedge with Pakis , Afganis and Chinese

3. Act swiftly in states - Changes laws to prosecute terror acts more swiftly.

4. Value human lives more than the PM fund of 1 lac for vicitims. It is so shameful that after every tragic incident such as bomb blast , train accident , the first government statement is to announce a compenstaion to the kins of the victims. Does Government have to value each live at Rs. 100,000 ? Stop this non sense and take steps that no lives are lost at any cost. Does US government or UK government pay money to their victims ? forget US or UK , does Sri lanka do it? No way ..

5. Check Media right now - Media reporting of such events is often in correct. Do we have to show gory images of the poor souls who lost their lives on the TV or in newspapers? Cant media act responsibly and avoid to show all the blood and gore. Please understand the terrorists want free publicity and Media companies are playing in their hands. Why the emails from Indian Mujahidin lands to a media house and not to the PM's office or to a Police station. Stop publicizing the incidents and you will kill the motivation to strike.


6. Politicizing religion - enough has been written on this topic and nobody seems to realize the gravity of the situation. Us Vs them (with religion ) is the easiest way to instigate a human being and terrorist are trying to use this fullest.


I only hope India changes its " soft target " image quickly and act as a tough no nonsense NATION in the near future else we will be always called a land of " Chutiyas " ( pardon for the offensive word)
