Indian Response

Now that the targets have been secured and terrorists either killed or captured, the question is how does India respond?
If Pakistan is involved as being suggested by India, why not bring it out in the open? I am surprised to note that Pakistan;s authorities keep denying their involvement and Indian authorities keep silent.
Why link Kashmir tensions with Mumbai terror attack? These are unconnected issues for now.
I believe the jury is out in the open and if Pakistan is really not involved then they should have no issues with fighting the militants together with India. Both countries know where these guys are operating from.
Hopefully India and Pakistan unite and really fight this to the end.

Mumbai Attacks - A Test of Patience

India has become a haven for terrorist attacks of late. Indian is a secular democracy. What comes up as a question for the entire world today is how should the Government respond ? Immediate reaction would suggest that a counter attack against the groups would be an appropriate reaction. However, one must bear in mind that in a secular democracy this can be a real problem as there a large number of minorities that may get impacted. Above all , there is politics mixed with religious extremism. If India has to effectively respond, it may mean an attack on the Kashmiri groups as well as the tribal groups in Pakistan. In order to organize this kind of an attack, India would require the support of USA and Russia. Bottom line, this has to be conducted as a world response and not just an Indian response.

In conclusion, the time has come for the world to unite and offer an appropriate response to the terrorist groups.
