I feel it important to list the major terrorist attacks that have occured in India due to pakistani sponsored terrorism. Too often we lapse into a sense of ease, and it would we wise to remember and realise the danger we face with pakistan as our neighbour and its constant threat to our society.
The list is compiled from wiki but i feel there's a lot more to be added. Hopefully we can start to understand why GOI needs to be pro active with regards to dealing with pakistan and not reactive whenever another blast occurs.

The above i believe is no means comprehensive but it is a start. Was all compiled from wikipedia :
<b>List of terrorist incidents</b>
I shall try to scour and compile for more and will try and edit the list if any are added below. Too many Indian lives however have been sacrificed to terrorism from pakistan. It should be our hope and goal to see that none are done so in the future and pakistan itself as the threat is negated.
