I am a Pakistani and I feel that whatever happend in mumbai was terrible and shocking. No one can support something like that. One this I would like to raise point of, that its very difficult to stop a terrorist spreading terrorism but it is very easy to stop people getting sympethetic to them. I dont wanna creat a sense here that I dont know what I am talking about. Motivation always come from a reason behind it and there are enough reasons around the world that events like this can keep happening for nest 100 years. you wanna finish terrorism,kill the reason. if you kill the terrorist thats not gonna lead you anywhere.
and whereever all those investigations are going or coming from, one this is common ,that these guys were part of a kashmiri seperatist group. dont get confuse that pakistan back all of kashmiri groups thats not issue. issue is why those groups exists and reason is kahmiri people are unhappy with india.

Seriously….ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
THAT IS IT!!!!!!!!!
We should now join hands in doing something we should have done long back…..clear our soceity of this filth…every perpetrator of such a heinous act should be given such a treatment that it should send shivers down the spine of anybody who would even dare to think ’bout nething of the magnitude……the dead bodies of the terrorists should be left to rot and be fed to the scavengers…and this ahould be aired all over the world so that the fundamentalists or ‘jihadis’ what they call themselves should think twice before preaching their stupid ideologies …..the law and order system should be ruthless in combating these clan of so called humans.it is high time WE TERRORISE THE TERRORISTS!!

Hatred cannot be eradicated with bullets. The Jihadist movement is too well installed throughout the globe to be irradicated forcibly. India’s greatest weapon is the sizeable Muslim population within its own borders. Indias muslims need to develop the courage and excercise the wisdom and humanity it takes to alter the negative course of Islaam.This negativity within Islaam is too easily tolerated by so called “peaceful Muslims”. They could start promoting those aspects of Islam such as Suffiism that truely are about peace and tolerance. Only muslims can reeducate muslims about what their contribution to humanity can be, instead of blaming the Worlds tiny(14 million) Jewish population.

Being a reporter myself,and having heard from my friends of what they experienced around TAJ, i feel extremely sorry & pass on my condolence.
Good Blog Ritu.
India’s nisus against Terrorism!!!
Having seen a dramatic end to what can be called as “Indian 9/11” in Mumbai’s multiple terror strike, I wonder where is India heading in terms of Terrorism. Its high-time for the government to take decisive steps towards ending this drama, where Pakistan has demonstrated a stagecraft expeditiously.
Technically speaking we took quite a lot of time grounding the fidayeens in Mumbai’s episode. Having brought technicality in this context, we had NSG, Marine-Commandos, and the RAF working in tandem with the ATS and Mumbai-Police which officially started 9hrs after these terrorists struck and took 60hrs then on to finally bid them good-bye. A question looms in every Indian “What proactive steps did we take in controlling the siege for those 9hrs?” Answer to this question, only a politically-governed body can give, may it be to either subside the issue or to create another questions pertaining earlier one.
Many political careers survival may depend on finding a strong response to the attacks in Mumbai as Indians clamour for answers and action to the country’s “9/11″. India had suffered a series of bombings on its cities even before the Mumbai attacks, and since 2004 has trailed only behind Iraq in terms of lives lost to attacks by militants. Next question that looms around is “Who is to be blamed?”

Let’s not forget the hotel staff who ceaselessly went above and beyond their duties to help those in the hotel. These people were not trained or hired to save lives and rescue people, but they did, and many of them lost their lives doing so.

Please be careful what you ask for and exactly what form it is given to you in. After 9/11, many here in the US called for additional security, which was a very rational thing to ask for, but now we have warrant-less wiretapping, black box prisons, watch-lists and two wars, neither of which has served to make us safer, nor the world a better place. Ask for security if you wish, but please make sure that there are appropriate checks and balances in the use of force and surveillance.

As an American in the USA I can only say that India has our sympathies and support. Most Americans don’t realize that India has been fighting against these terrorists since becoming its own nation and culturally been fighting these same terrorists for a thousand years.

I hope that more nations who have turned a blind eye to the Islamic Jihadists terrorism can see that the Islamic terrorist will attack anyone who does not believe as they do and not just close allies of the USA. The liberals in Europe always want to blame the current situation on the USA. I hope that some greater understanding will take place now.

In summary stand strong India, free democracy must win against these criminals.
