Meanwhile, I submitted the following at CNN's comments page:

Zain Verjee's hyperventilating speculation about "Hindu Terrorism" being involved in the ongoing Mumbai attacks is not only baseless, but it's also in very bad taste. A Muslim terrorist organization has already claimed responsibility for the attack, as for a large number of earlier attacks against Indian civilians. Meanwhile, not a single allegation of terrorism has been legally proven against any Hindu group at any time.

Perhaps Ms. Verjee's editorializing derives from the fact that she is herself a practicing Muslim. As far as journalistic credibility is concerned, her accusing Hindu Terrorists for the ongoing Mumbai attacks ranks right up there with Pakistanis and Al-Qaeda blaming "Israeli Zionists" for 9-11.

Well done Rudraji . Sad specimens our country is producing ... is this the same land were Chatrapati Shivji stood up to the bigots ? really really sad day.

Fanne i wasent hugging anyone after Delhi blasts you ****. I will say the same thing here, this major attack should be used as a pretext to target all muslims indiscriminantly. That way were playing into the hands of terrorists. Get the perpertrators and planners.

If this is not a tipping point then what is?

Or have I been a little too patient this entire year?

For the first time the western media is equating a terror attack on India with a terror attack on themselves and we are taking offence!!? Also for the first time the western media has devoted more than 5 minutes to a terror attack in India. Fox, a news channel I used to equate with Sarah Palin's mouthpiece, even paid a warm tribute to the "fastest growing economy on the planet" and closed its clip with a heartfelt tribute to India's spirit. It is true they will interpret it through their own lenses and our government and media also always specify "No Indians killed" in foreign terror attacks, so it isn't surprising if CNN says that too. Why should we shun friendship now in our hour of peril?

Well now you know what the Malegoan inqusistion after effects are? There will be no more Islamist terror only Hindu self inflicted terror.

See SwamyG who has been on this forum for quite some time is also doubtful about who did this? What to expect which way the tree falls?

Ramana garu: I just want to cross the ts and dot the is. What I know in my heart, I just want to get it validated from the guru log here. I am suspicious of the government now, they can twist and turn this in any way. And I wanted some kind of reassurance from the experts here on the modus operandi of different groups.

Just nuke the pukis and then say sorry.

Na, time to evaporate Sunni Jihadi Kashmiri Muslims and their leadership in thin air. Use them as raw material to produce electricity.

MMS should resign as he dont wish/act like the PM of majority Indians.

Yes, Indeed. CNN International is continuously broadcasting the attack.

Folks dont go after Vivek Sreenivasan. He has expressed his despair at turn of events. Need to rally one and all.

Also, Pakistan is desperately trying to link Afganistan to Kashmir after Obama's victory. We need to also analyze if this is in anyway related to this. If terrorists openly leave links to TSP, it will force India to mobilize near the border, which will force TSP to pull out of Afganistan compromising the war on Afganistan.

This will reinforce Obama administration belief that resolution of Kashmir is fundamental to resolve Afgan issues.

I am waiting for analysis from B. Raman and others soon.

That will last only till the safety of the American citizens is in question. After that its business as usual.

Nariman House has hostages, but Times is reporting that they are all dead.

Apparently Israeli citizens and Indian Jews live here.

FWIW, Obama has condemned the attack just now and said the US needs to work with India to fight terror.

Yeah but why Mumbai? It would be in Hyderabad. So now that they have three detainees, we will know unless there is a cover up.

I wonder if the Army units are regular troop or those for Close quarter battle formations. Anyway lets see.

PTI is terrible. Not one update. They should be stripped of their money contributions.

can some one do a screen capture for later use?

If I am not mistaken, Hyderabad has become something of an origination point for many terrorist attacks all over India.

Really pathetic to see the media harassing the people who are coming out of the hotel and still shell-shocked. Distressing to see some of them pleading with the mediaperson to leave them alone - but no, the guy kept asking if he saw casualties, whether he had friends/family inside etc.

Can folks please calm down? Most of my life, I was no fan of the GoI of the day. But not today.

Dr Singh needs all the support he needs from **all** of us and so do the people of Mumbai, the police who fought and fell down. LKA got it right in giving enough space for Dr Singh to act. Let us not mess it up for these two leaders.

We had a string of achievements the past few months - right from cutting edge military-aerospace projects to dominance in sports. We need to continue on that self-confident route. This fight should be taken away from the streets of Mumbai, and taken elsewhere. Right now we are fighting them on *our* streets.

There is one capital that has been peaceful, when terrorists strikes all over the world. And that capital is not in the west nor is it islamabad. We need better answers than "pakis did it".

Wouldn't surprise me if the somali pirates are paying a lucrative 'tax' to the terrorists, and hitting back at their business is a threat to the terrorists' pocketbook.

No hope of that. The Grenadiers are regular troops without any specialized training AFAIK. I don't believe we have any troops specially trained for pitched battles in urban environment like Israelis do. NSG seem to be mainly to protect politicians.

Seems to be well planned... perpetrators seem to have good connections and contacts....

I bet this will draw the ire of Israelis....India
