I really think India in the short term is a risky play.

I am sure the internal economy is strong.
But, if these attacks become easy to execute and routine that signals a major issue.

You should really consider the global economy as a whole due the type of ETF's you are into.

If owned ETF's in Emerging markets,since 2002 I would say their run is over atleast for the next 2 years.

I would sell those now, wait till the growth story becomes a real deal again and then buy in again.
In the end its your call.

Good Job True Patriot.

I would say India before the Bangalore attacks was a 3, now up graded to a 4.

I say it is time to cash out.

If we see attacks in Hyderabad or Chennai, I am sure there will be massive stock market sell offs all over the place.

I think these attacks have to with US Nuke deal more than anything else.

I would like to add couple more point that :

1. A hindu nationalist government in India is good not only for India but USA .

2. Present government is not just bunch of ordinary criminals but all hand in glove with Islamic fundamentalist and have deep nexus with likes of Bin Laden, Dawood et all. This explains why soon after acquiring power at center they repealed anti terrorism law like POTA framed by BJP government.

3. They have also cancelled all development and infrasturucture projects initiated by previous government.

4. But this was not sufficient, to weaken countries science , research activities they left no stone unturned by intoducing heavy caste and muslim reservations in top institutes like IIT, AIIMS and IIM, denying admission to thousands of meretorious and deserving candidates.

5. To appease muslim they are not introducing any population control measure so that they can overtake hindus and make this country an ISLAMIC country as soon as possible. In last 60 years muslim population witnessed 15 times increase fro 20 million to reach 300 million. but officially they dont declare it. and say muslims are hardly 200 million.

6. US should sign nuclear deal only when Indian government show evidence to implement population control policy like one child policy to all religion. My muslim friends in India usually have 10-20 kids per family.

I wonder if that thread is still around - I mean the one where the Bradminullahs were waxing eloquent about the need to make the forum more "welcoming", and wondering how to get more "other community" members to come here and feel welcome, because the posts are all so "sensitive to the feelings"...

And all those BRand new BRadmins, wet behind the ears and all eager like bunnies to go hopping around giving everyone advice to be "sensitive". Respectful of other postors even if they are blithering idiots.. Oh! What we post here is read by IMPORTANT people! Log kya kahenge? Oh, that sounds like "flamebait", let's be respectful now... Oh! We can't have NON-SERIOUS posts on this hugely SERIOUS forum!

Seems like all this was just petty jealosy to delete the only thread that has any intelligence behind it - u no which one. I knew that was 80 percent of it, but I was wrong. It's 457% of it. Worse than Airport Security in lack of a sense of humor. Worse than Associate Deans in pompousness.

Just browsing the past few pages makes one feel the ambience of loitering around downtown Ahmedaslumbab or Godhra holding the Severed Pig's Head (SPH Model 3) and the Pregnant Wimmen Disemboweling Trishool (PWDT Model 27) and the Slum-Burning Gas Cylinder (SBGC Model 5) and the Molotovullah ZamZamCola Sleeper Passenger Burning Bottle (MZSPB2 Model S-6).

Boo! to the adminullahs for closing down the (u-no-which) thread, which was just clean civilized, polite fun compared to this hate-filled foaming savages' thread. Forget it, it was just clean fun, no comparison needed. Used to be so informative and entertaining.

May your camels eat your satphones and make you late for the Loya Jirga Debriefing Candidate Selection Discussion. May your trishool strap get entangled in your langoti as you swing it. May your gada bonk you on your own shin. May a thousand Rakshasas bee on your Baithak. May your mace be beneath you as you sit down cross-legged.

These consecutive attacks and other internal disturbances inclduing withdrawal of Commie support are taking place in the context of the strategic realignment (N-deal) therefore the China angle - it isn't just a theory it is present hard day international reality of the games big boys play. They don't and never have had to get their hands dirty. At last US has woken up to the ISI Taliban Al Qaeda nexus which now is so solidly consolidated it is too late. I think our only options are to break up Pakistan into friendly democratic Sindh, Baloch etc. while dealing decisively with FATA and NWFP (covertly of course). We also have to gear up our doctrines and readiness to meet threats in case of WMD attack. Though ISI will not be crazy enough to sanction that, cos they know what will come, their agents have a habit of proving the Frankenstein syndrome right and could do so, inviting massive retaliation. Again, we have to be ready to strike quickly and hard before international pressure bears in, enough to deliver a message that we are not a soft state. That is why I think we should give some indication of resolve and redlines which cannot be crossed publicly now, so that ISI knows what price there is to pay. Of course, the danger to that is that China then gears up on the other side.

skill and quality to either meet or exceed the benchmark set by MFH.

New Delhi: Fifteen passengers were killed when a fire broke out in a train in Waranagal district of Andhra Pradesh early this morning.

The incident occurred at 0105 hrs (IST) when Gautami Express was crossing a forest area between Tallapusalapalli and Mehboobabad stations in the Waranagal district, about 250 kms from state capital Hyderabad.

The fire broke out in S-9, one of the sleeper coaches, of the Secunderabad-Kakinada Gouthami express and soon spread to four other coaches, railway officials and police said.

Railway Minister Lalu Yadav says, “S-10 bogie is the worst hit.”

He has confirmed the death of thirteen people in the incident. He has also announced Rs five lakh as compensation and jobs in railways for the family of dead. He has also announced Rs one lakh for those seriously injured.

The cause of the fire is not clear yet. "The fire broke in one of the sleeper coaches of the Secunderabad-Kakinada Gautami express near Mehboobabad early this morning and soon spread to other coaches," South Central Railway spokesman P Krishnaiah was quoted as saying by news agencies.

SP, Warangal, V C Sajjanar said investigation is on and all the injured people been shifted to Warangal hospital.

“We have called in forensic experts to determine the cause of fire. The major cause of death appears to be asphyxiation,:” Sajjanar told CNN-IBN.

"The rescue teams from Secunderabad, Kazipet and Vijaywada were immediately rushed to the spot and burning coaches were detached from the train," Krishnaiah said.

Andhra Pradesh minister G Surya Rao, who was also travelling in the ill-fated train was safe, officials said.

Following the accident, several trains on Hyderabad-Vijaywada section were cancelled while some others diverted

Gautami Express runs between Kakinara and Sikandrabad. The fire has been brought under control.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh would be talking to the Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Friday in Colombo where eight SAARC countries are meeting and terror is high on the agenda.

Top government sources have told NDTV that the Ahmedabad blasts had inspiration from outside and the degree of sophistication of the blasts was like never before.

While the probe for the Ahmedabad serial blasts that killed more than 50 people continues, there have been some disturbing findings.

The government sources also told that India would make a distinction between the Pakistan government and rogue intelligence agencies - this is a very significant statement.

Pakistanis Aided Attack in Kabul, U.S. Officials Say

They said that the ISI officers had not been renegades, indicating that their actions might have been authorized by superiors.

“It confirmed some suspicions that I think were widely held,” one State Department official with knowledge of Afghanistan issues said of the intercepted communications. “It was sort of this ‘aha’ moment. There was a sense that there was finally direct proof.”

To Acharya's query how is that relevant to the discussion?

There is something going on here....

Thats a big departure and being portrayed as US govt annoyed at this Pakistani escalation on Indian front. I don't buy that it is because of Nuke Deal nor that they are siding with India on this. This is probably something else, or maybe I just sleep typing!!!

For 5000 Years we have been discussing Philisophy, its time to spend next 5000 years being practical.
