Good Job!

Though India would like to put the blame on International Terrorist organizations and networks beyond the its borders. The blames of home grown terrorists organizations lies within India for several reasons.

The biggest reason is that in last two decades Political Parties exploited religions to get to power, they won Elections but left a lot of victims and losers and their children behind, now they are coming of age and very angry and full of resentment. This situation makes them very Vulnerable
to recruitment for extremest and terrorist causes.

I do not personally know of any governments or NGOs sponsored programs to heal wounds of the victims of infamous communal riots of Gujrat, Bombay and small towns and villages across India at the heights of Nationalist power grabbing struggle regardless of victims’ religions etc. These wounds do not heal themselves, so I kind of wonder if there were any government resources put into psychological healing of all the victims?

In addition, there is not enough reaching out to fund education, and other economic incentives for minorities, talk about giving something to minorities and it starts fist fights in lok sabah by Nationalists.

Secularism in India is deeply hurt, its principals forgotten, and no longer practiced, learned/taught. there is great mistrust and hate amongst different communities.

Hindi vs. Marathi: “Thakuray Effect” are a major factors as well, Economic activity is concentrated in and around Major Metropolitan cities, people living further away from these locations are deprived of basic necessities, when people come to the major hubs of concentrated power and economic activity they get threatened, beaten up, killed, and abused, talk about resentment. This has far reaching consequences in remote states and cities and villages across India by different groups with varying agendas.

Learning and or comparing India’s situation with US would be a major mistake. India should learn from “Bush Doctrine” throwing hundreds of billions of dollars on military might and a bad penny to salvage the next generation of would be terrorists has brought the current administration to a stalemate with the extremists.

India needs to focus on two pronged approach by capturing and bring to justice the perpetrators of such heinous atrocities, even if it takes ordering targeted assassinations of planners and terrorist organization leaders in Pakistan and Bangladesh by Indian spying agencies, at the same time invest into reducing such massive amounts of resentment in its minority population. India has to win the trust of its minority population to deny extremists recruitments.

This should not be considered a strategy of appeasement
but rather a much needed socio-economic reform to bring every community in India up to par with each other.

India’s minorities have a stake in it as well, they know very well that terrorist attacks and bomb blasts do not discriminate against their religion.

Mumbai life is fast (though stucked in Traffic); where no one has time to bother about something else,But, experiences of 26 july makes people empathically attached.

in past two years mumbai has suffered through natural and man-made calamities, but life here is unbreakable which heals with distinctly visible marks.
