Re: Blasts in delhi

There is no point in talking in partisan tones. Yes, we need a nationalist party/leaders - this of course does not automatically mean BJP. The conditions are ripe to float a new nationalist party/movement. In my view there are many reasons to declare emergency in the country right now: Islamic terro...

Since, GOI would not or cannot go after the terrorists, at least they should improve the infrastructure to care for the bomb victims - like getting a huge supply of stretchers to all the major cities.

Well the drama is over. India should go full throttle buying all the dual use technologies it wants ASAP. Since, we are an acknowledged nuke weapons state (albeit, in a slightly round about way), we should build the nuclear capability to the fullest without delay.
