Bharat Rakshak

Its total stupidity to block communication lines, after a blast. Our babus are idiots..

Data points:
1) A friend of mine had predicted that terrorists attack ALL BJP ruled states and that we should expect an attack in Bangalore

2) An organization called the "Popular Front" has linked riots with bomb blasts in retaliation and seems to work in Karnataka.

There was a "riot" of sorts a week or do ago in which a pig's head was allegedly placed in a mosque.

Here is a poster that had appeared in Bangalore a year or so ago (sorry- poor quality)

Something doesn't make sense.

Would ISI actually waste an opportunity like this ?

the British were experts at creating a situation which would justify a retaliation.
their intelligence services have passed on this art to several ex-colonies.

Chillax dude. Blocked lines because too many people are trying to call too many other people. It's may not be the babus - it may be you that is ignorant.

Raju, stop this nonsense about Indian intelligence creating this incident. you are pushing it a bit too far.

The eight blasts that rocked Bengaluru on July 25 points to high orchestration, but low intensity. The blasts reportedly took place within about 12 minutes at around 1-30 pm, that is after the Friday's mid-day namaz in the local mosques.

The high orchestration used in timing five to six blasts, with some precision, resembled the serial blasts in Jaipur in May last year and in three towns of Uttar Pradesh in November.

While timers were used to activate the improvised explosive devices, the explosive material used does not appear to have been of a sophisticated kind. Ammonium nitrate, mixed with a booster, was the preferred explosive in previous terrorist incidents, but one does not know whether ammonium nitrate was used in the Bengaluru blasts too.

Reader's Images of the Bengaluru Blasts

Some TV reports speak of the possible use of gelatin sticks. If so, these blasts would resemble, from the point of view of the composition of the IEDs, the serial blasts in Coimbatore carried out by Al Ummah, a Muslim extremist organisation of South India, in February 1998 to protest against the alleged police excesses against Muslim youth after the demolition of the Babri Masjid. Investigation into the Coimbatore blasts showed that Muslim youth had fabricated the IEDs with the help of explosive material stolen from the quarries of south India.

From preliminary reports, one could make the following surmise: firstly, the terrorists did not want to cause mass casualties; secondly, Bengaluru has the largest concentration of foreign businessmen and experts, but they did not want to target them; thirdly, they did not want to target the foreign tourists either.

Special: In India, we don't catch terrorists

The blasts would definitely create nervousness amongst the foreigners living in Bengaluru and get additional publicity for the perpetrators, but this was only their secondary objective. Their primary objective was to convey a message that they have the capability to hit when and where they want.

After 9/11, the Americans got into the habit of blaming Al Qaeda [Images] for every act of terrorism happening anywhere in the world and then collecting evidence. As pointed out by me in my previous articles, we seem to have got into the habit of blaming the Lashkar-e-Tayiba or the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami every time an act of terrorism takes place even before we have sufficient evidence.

We should get rid of this habit and keep an open mind regarding the perpetrators. It is important to probe thoroughly into the activities of Al Ummah, which used to have cells in Bengaluru, the Students Islamic Movement of India and other angry elements.

Why terrorists attack soft targets

We have had three waves of anger among the Indian Muslim youth -- the first was after the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992 and the second after the Gujarat riots of 2002. These waves have since dissipated. Since last year, one has been noticing a fresh wave of anger after the convictions of a number of Muslims by a Mumbai court in the Mumbai blasts of March, 1993. A common theme in all their Internet chatter is what they see as the inherent unfairness of the Indian criminal justice system towards Muslims.

While taking strong action against the terrorists, whoever they are, it is important to address this perception that our criminal justice system is unfair to Muslims.

Another inference from that theory is GoI is deliberately contributing to Indian citizen deaths by not doing everything in its power to prevent this

Internet , mobile , everything seems to have been shutdown in bangalore

Yes in fact I am typing this by throwing alphabet blocks at a blank computer screen. Please acknowledge if you can read it.

blasts have always been timed with important events relating to noclear deal calender.

on the tangent small local incidents like this are manufactured which then results in blasts as local retaliatory excuse.

IOW, GOI is exhbiting a somewhat higher level of intelligence than Pakistan, unlike what many postors here want GOI to do. This is not surprising (I mean the postor's desires and advice).

I know reality is such a boring thing at a time like this, but here is the alternative:

1. All-out war with Pakistan - extreme international pressure to cease fire, based on "imminent nuclear war".
2. Extreme international interference to "settle Kashmir Dispute" by giving all of J&K to the terrorist mass-murdering goat-lover sorakhs.
3. Maybe India, since now we are a superpower, rejects international pressure and invades Pakistan and captures all of it in 1 week flat (and then launches this mission to Andromeda that gets there in 2 weeks). What exactly do you think will happen next?
4. 500,000 Indian soldiers manning checkpoints in the terrorist slum. Dying at the rate of 500 a month from terrorist attacks. Another 5,000 a month maimed and otherwise traumatized. Blasts in Indian cities every week, instead of the present monthly events.
5. Or the Moo-Moo Option, leading to massive communal riots all over India, continuing for years.

And you would prefer that to the present state of affairs?

Blaming the Intelligence agencies is totally wrong. This is defensive mindset to sit on our asses and expect agencies to catch the balls pakis are throwing on our cities. Stupidity.

Focus should be how to reply with 10 times intensity to those who did it. I say, Blow them hard.

Time has come to take off senior rank in ISI.

Any action against any senior rank in ISI would lead to a tit-for-tat response from the Pakis. I dont think any red beacon dilli-billi babu would sign off on such endeavors. As long as the faceless in the Indian crowd faces the brunt of TSP actions we will see the slumber party in GoI continue. The news media gets its share of the sensational and breaking news from such incidents so there is not much incentive on their part to force any major action from the GoI that would put a permanent stop on such recurring media events. The stunted Intellectuals in media and else where also enjoy limelight after such events as they are sought after for their comments, analysis and debate points. Who really cares if a few Indians die in all of this. More people die of neglect daily on any Indian city roads than those who died in this one incident.

Tomorrow morning when the dust has settled the crowds will be back to their daily grind. The mob's attention will be focussed on the current salman-shah rukh spat and the forum rakshaks will return to nukkad or other such important threads to spread gyan. Bottom line life goes on. The only way to change this logjam is to rise up into positions of power and influence the change we desire.

Any action against any senior rank in ISI would lead to a tit-for-tat response from the Pakis. I dont think any red beacon dilli-billi babu would sign off on such endeavors.

....
Its time we call for some visible action against terriorists and their sympathizers ( hanging Afzal Guru will be a step in the right direction )
