What Amar Singh, CM of Maha, SOnia Gadhi and Joker Singh did, They had destroyed India's credibility. These b@stards named Sadhavi etc and linked them with Samjhutta Express without actual investigation but to gain political points.
Whole world knows Indian Embassy can be bought, political leaders can be bought, media is already bought by vested interest.
These b@stards don't care that is a problem. These son of B**** should be kicked out.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Can Terrorism Halt India's Global Rise?</b>

<i>Nayan Chanda is editor of YaleGlobal Online and author of Bound Together: How Traders, Preachers, Adventurers and Warriors Shaped Globalization.</i>

In recent years, terrorist attacks in India have become as much a part of life as the monsoon squalls. The only difference has been their unpredictability, as opposed to the regularity of the monsoons. The well-coordinated and large scale assault on Mumbai this week are not only qualitatively different, but also came with a chillingly new message. The jeans and t-shirt clad, youthful terrorists, who looked like backpackers out on a hiking expedition, delivered an unmistakable warning to the world: Foreigners stay away from India. Their special note to the Jewish community: You are safe nowhere.

Previous attacks by Islamist youth and Kashmiri separatists were aimed at damaging India’s economic and political stability and inciting violence between majority Hindus and its substantial Muslim minority. They have tried to jolt India’s political system (the attack on the Parliament), hurt India’s business centers (repeated attacks on Mumbai aimed at people in finance and technology sectors) and science and technology hub (attack on the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore), provoke inter-religious strife (attacking Hindu shrines and people during Hindu celebrations), and promote a sense of terror and helplessness among citizens. Never before have terrorists tried to seek out foreigners.

During the attacks on Mumbai’s plush hotels this week, Westerners, especially Americans and Brits, were specifically sought out as hostages. In telephoned messages to TV stations, the terrorists asked for the release of “holy fighters” from Indian jails in exchange for the release of hostages. It is hard to know if they really believe that they would achieve their stated goal. Where would the released Indian prisoners go? But taking foreign hostages at India’s fanciest hotels sends out an unmistakable message: India is a dangerous place, and you invest in India or visit here at your own risk. The terrorists want to show that the so-called “shining India,” the new emerging power and a poster-child of globalization, has feet of clay. Globalization, which brought foreign investments and tourists from far corners of the world--as evidenced by the roster of nationalities present at the Taj and Oberoi hotels--can be brought to its knees by dozens of armed men landing on inflatable rafts from the Arabian Sea. Their seaborne landing--a first in the bloody history of terrorism in India--in and of itself carried a message. There are no borders.

The other sinister message of the terrorists this time is that they have an international agenda. Despite their talk of Indian Muslims being oppressed and Kashmiris being killed, their focus on Americans and British citizens and Jewish nationals shows their global concern. The U.S. has emerged as a key ally of India, but Britain is not any closer than other European countries like France and Germany. The search for American and British citizens most probably has to do with the Iraq war, echoing the terrorist attacks in Britain on charges of British involvement in the suffering of Muslims.

The terrorists’ global objective was clearly demonstrated in their targeting of a little-known Jewish outreach center in Mumbai. Before the terrorists burst into the Chabad Center located in an office and residential complex to take the rabbi, his wife, and assembled Jewish visitors hostage, most in Mumbai had no idea about their existence. Only six years earlier, a young Brooklyn rabbi and his wife set up the Chabad Center to quietly offer Jewish visitors kosher meals, Torah classes, and a place to stay. That anonymity was no protection from a group that wants to hurt the Jews as part of a global struggle. The attack on the Jewish community is particularly poignant, as over a thousand years ago, India offered the earliest shelter to persecuted Jews; the wall of an old synagogue in Kerala shows a mosaic image of their early arrival by boat.

For the past two millennia, India’s open doors have always allowed traders, travelers, and invaders to pass through and settle. However dramatic the latest attempt to frighten people might be, it is impossible to sever India’s global connections.

<b>Mumbai attacks to hurt Indo-Pak ties : Pranab Mukherjee</b>

<b>NEW DELHI : Angered by terror strikes in Mumbai, India today bluntly told Pakistan that its intention to take a "leap" in bilateral relations would be "impossible" if "outrages" like the attacks in the financial capital do not stop.

External Affairs minister Pranab Mukherjee told his visiting Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi that he hoped Islamabad would take "immediate action" with regard to the terrorist attacks in Mumbai.</b>

Qureshi received the call from Mukherjee in the midst of a press conference he was addressing at the Indian Women Press Corps here.

The External Affairs minister said while the government of Pakistan has said that it wants a leap forward in relations between the two countries, "outrages like the attack on our embassy in Kabul and now the attack on Mumbai are intended to make it impossible."

Mukherjee said "some elements" in Pakistan were responsible for the terror strikes in Mumbai in which over 150 people were killed and several hundreds injured.

"The groups responsible and their supporters, are therefore, also acting against the direct interests of the government of Pakistan," Mukherjee told Qureshi.

He said India expected Pakistan to honour its solemn commitments not to permit the use of its territory for terrorism against India.

<b>Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>asked his Pakistan counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani to send ISI chief Shuja Pasha "to cooperate in the investigations of the Mumbai attack and for sharing certain information".</span>

Pasha is expected to visit India soon.</b>

I think this just about takes the cake! It is time that India suspended <b>ALL TIES with Terroristan.</b>

Apparently some worthies on a well known forum think that the "indian approach" (whatever that means) hasn't failed at all and that instead its the US/Israeli methods that seem to have failed.

Apparently terrorists holding up a 10 million megacity for 3 days and killing 150 people, 18 cops + army personnel, wounding 300 people is not failure at all.

Oh and did I forget to tell you that this worthy lives in comfort in the unsafe US while doling out his great advice to the people living in India and going through terror almost every couple of weeks now.

Hopefully when this asshole steps into India next time ready to give his uppity NRI advice to Indians how they are being assholes by saying its unsafe, some follower of the religion of peace takes him hostage, cuts his nuts off and mails them in fedex to his secular family in US <!--emo&:furious--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/furious.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='furious.gif' /><!--endemo-->

<b>Indian Forces Battle Militants in Mumbai</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->A delegation from Israel's ZAKA emergency medical services unit entered the building after the raid and reported through an Indian aide that five hostages and two gunmen were dead, a ZAKA spokesman in Israel said. The spokesman had no information on the hostages' identities or whether there were wounded inside.

<b>Jewish law requires the burial of a dead person's entire body, and the mission of the ultra-Orthodox ZAKA volunteers is to rescue the living — and in the case of the dead, carry out the task of gathering up all collectable pieces of flesh and blood.</b>
Numerous local media reports, quoting top military officials, also said five hostages and two gunmen had been killed in the Jewish center.

The airborne assault on the center run by the Jewish outreach group Chabad Lubavitch was punctuated by gunshots and explosions as forces cleared it floor by floor.

Late Friday, Rabbi Zalman Schmotkin, a spokesman for the Chabad Lubavitch movement, said that Rabbi Gavriel Noach Holtzberg and his wife, Rivka, were among the dead.
The couple's toddler son, Moshe Holtzberg, was smuggled out of the center by an employee, and is now with his grandparents.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

<b>US intelligence expert says Patil is incompetent</b>

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Aziz Haniffa in Washington, DC | November 28, 2008 | 11:28 IST

Walter Andersen, a former senior Administration official, who headed up the State Department's South Asia Division of the Intelligence and Research Bureau has said the Mumbai terrorist attacks showed clearly a failure of India's intelligence and security apparatus and also the utter incompetence of Home Minister Shivraj Patil.

"Clearly there was failure here of India's intelligence and security and also the security units were slow in responding, which means that the whole system really needs to be revamped," he said.

Andersen, currently associate director of the South Asia Program at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies, told rediff.com, "I am surprised that after several terrorist incidents, the government hasn't moved faster to get something much more effectively in place."

"You have a totally incompetent home minister, and why he isn't removed is beyond me," he said, "He really doesn't know how to get the bureaucracy organised to have some sort of coordinated planning."

You dont get it. He has been MARTYRED, which means all mistakes are forgotten. No more people asking the ATS chief why they were concentrating on an army officer and a sanyasin instead of actual terrorists. So this is definitely not good. The ATS brass dying makes sure that Purohit and the sadhvi dont get a chance to prove the torture and they died "heroes" whatever crap that meant. How is allowing your jeep to be hijacked a heroes death?

You are suffering from an acute attack of Childish Frustration.

Your use of derogatory terms will not make an iota of difference.

I trust you are aware that Five Punjabi Muslims Students led by Rehmat(?) Ali led to the “Idea and then the formation of Pakistan”.

They did not achieve their aim by hurling derogatory terms.

Mudy, using derogatory terms only deviates from the point/discourse. Not needed.

In private I would have told you that you shouldn't be insulting donkeys who are the one most harmless hardworking creatures helping mankind.

Let's all discuss the issue at hand with some control on our senses and emotions.
