May be not this attack, but in future if one of these ayodhya's or nagpur's goes successful, hindu extremists taking arms to target pakistanis in india can become a possibility.
Anyway, you are too worried about how even talking about hindus involved in such accidents will harm our media image, truth be damned.

Godhra was an act of terrorism, per the Gujarat police.

Eg the events post the Rodney King incident were also a case of mob violence, not terrorism. But Timothy Mc Veighs acts were terrorism.
I often read people calling these political crimes/uprisings as law and order problem and then try to deal with them like they deal with normal criminals. This is not good. This is one such school of thought that prevented kashmir uprising or Naxal menace from being nipped in bud.Last edited by nitinjindal83; 20 Feb 07,, 12:50.

Your response proves the point about how tasteless and useless such commentary can be, even if "speculation". I believe Akshay was being sarcastic and actually proved the case by raising a flag and hence showing how such speculation itself is offensive.
It can happen that some extremist hindus want justice for akshardham, ayodhya, bombay, etc in there own way.
However i don't think that is how the forensic experts work out responsibility. There are intelligence inputs like groups which have actively threatened INdo-Pak rapproachment and people to people (P2P) contact. They are in the lists. There are violent groups that have attempted to do so (as in 2005 Indo-Pak bus). They are in the suspect lists of the police. The list goes on. However to nail the guilty what is required is proper forensic evidence.
Forensics don't assume which groups is behind it and mould the RDX or urea/nitric acid mix to fix a certain group. They painstakingly find chemical compositions. They find where these chemicals are procured. Levels of expertize required are matched to groups. Where certain chemicals are procured can be identified. Stockists are approached as to purchases. Leads identified. Names run through intelligence files. An entire situation is scientifically created as to how it was got into target spot. That is matched with eye witness evidence. Matched with a lot of inputs that confirm or deny groups involved.
So don't worry if it is the Ramakrishna mission or the Hare Krishna mission involved, the forensics will get to them. Don't bother about the motives. I too am one who is of the opinion that a stable Pakistan will always be a destabilizing influence on it's neighbourhood. We've seen that 60 years now.
Meanwhile your position resembles that of Teesta Setelvads right after the Malegaon blasts and now after this. Just hold your horses. It might after all be the Hare Krishnite's who are behind all this. :)

Killing pakistanis is the very next step for any such irrational mind.

What is more silly, indeed naive about your commentary is that you are taking your POV, projecting it as correct & then stating anything to the reverse to be "extremist". If destabilising Pak helps India manage Pak terror, I and many others will be all for it. If 10 eyes for an eye till Pak runs out of eyes prevents attacks on India, then its worth it. Pray tell, what do you think the Indian Army's "fire assaults" on the LOC were? Or do you know more than them in dealing with Pak terror attacks?
Every state has the right to prevent terrorism and dissuade rogue states from using terrorism as an instrument of state policy.
Anyway, you are too worried about how even talking about hindus involved in such accidents will harm our media image, truth be damned.
Mafias, shout-outs, hafta vasooli is law and order problem. Please dont put communal riots in this category, specially when state and center turn blind eye to them.

I am not trying to put entire hindu religion on stand here. Such allegation I might add is insulting to me as a hindu.
Regarding my time at pdf, it was alearning experience. Got tired of dealing with kids and hitler mods, so stopped posting.
Tit for tat will only make us stoop to there level. After every such blast, people talk about various steps to strengthen system to prevent them in future, yet the frequency of attacks has only increased or stayed the same. So, first step towards any solution should be to actually implement such steps.

You simply display a complete lack of logic here. Terrorism requires support, idealogical and logistical. Even if the first comes to be true, thanks to incessant attacks on hindu temples, public places, Indian cities who provides the second, ie training and material support? Do you think the GOI will wait & watch and let the first occur? Do Indian cities, like Pakistani ones carry open donation boxes for Hindu jihad in Pakistan?
Have you read the latest about the blast? Jury rigged suitcases intended to start a fire. You think Anil Shukla from Patna who attends a VHP rally gets the training to accurately combine different substances for optimum ignition, jury rig igniters, gets training in making it sufficiently rugged to avoid accidental explosion, manages to have it avoid security including sniffer dogs? That guys idea of weaponry would have barely advanced past the rudimentary gupti/ rampuri level. And even he, after a few years of strutting around in front of the VHP office, will ultimately marry, get responsible and have kids. Unless he wastes his life in a riot or goes into politics. Nobody to give his family 100,000 Rs/- if he perishes in the cause of "jihad" to liberate Pak occupied Kashmir, or Akhand Bharat. See the difference? Our communal squabbles, sectarian strife are peanuts compared to what professional terrorism demands in terms of idealogy, logistics and commitment. There are no mothers in India sitting and producing shaheeds to go across the LOC and become "martyrs" for hinduism. But the reverse is what sustains the LeT.
Yet you compare the two. And then state that you require proof.
Boss, all you are doing here is insisting, with no shred of evidence or even logic.

FYI, Jamaat ud Dawa, the "missionary" wing of the LeT has blamed the Shiv Sena for the blasts, they also happened to be ready in time to receive the passengers before the Pak Govt and Army, wow- what a crystal ball, eh? Good show Nitin, you just did what they expected you to do. Keep it up, and a few years from now we'll have more & more on how "hindu extremists" could have done this, may have done this & it will be you trying to state the reverse at Mullah central.

The solution is simple- either take the war to them or dissuade them some other way, big and bigger walls never worked. The Maginot line was outflanked, the Great Wall of China was no sterling success either. Think.Last edited by Archer; 20 Feb 07,, 17:54.Karmani Vyapurutham Dhanuhu

Ok, so now you wake up. First you claim moments after the terror strike that hindu extremists could be responsible, with absolutely no evidence to back it up, then you want evidence to state thty arent, and finally- now, you state you are not trying to stereotype. Have you looked through your statements and how whimsical they are?
FYI, Jamaat ud Dawa, the "missionary" wing of the LeT has blamed the Shiv Sena for the blasts, they also happened to be ready in time to receive the passengers before the Pak Govt and Army, wow- what a crystal ball, eh?

Yup, but it seems instructive that your train of thought followed theirs. Should have spent less time at Mullah central.
Or have you considered that these steps wont work? Because India is too huge a country to effectively seal? Never mind that only a totalitarian police state could detect & prevent all such attacks in time.
The solution is simple- either take the war to them or dissuade them some other way, big and bigger walls never worked. The Maginot line was outflanked, the Great Wall of China was no sterling success either. Think.
Solution to prevent such attacks can never be simple. War to pakistan will only lead to more misery and suffering. Have some faith in democratic institutions. If people collectively work on reforming police system, stengthening justice system, and addressing public greviences, I believe the number of such attacks can be brought down. War with pakistan alone is not a solution, when our own internal security apparatus is in shambles.
If Anil Shukla of VHP can barge into a muslim home and burn men, women and children alive, yes I believe he can burn samjhauta train too. If he can get all the support and infrastructure he wants for playing his role in gujarat riots, who knows what else he can get.
If gujarat riots or by your logic babri masjid were law and order problems, then VHP/Bajrang dal are D-company and Singhal/Advanis are the Dawoods and Chhota Rajans'.

It does seem weird that Pakistan jihadi groups would target their own countrymen to derail the peace process.
The logical explanation would be that the Bajrang Dal and other such outfits might have had something to do with it. However, although the Bajrang Dal has committed grievous crimes in the past, they have never gone to the extent of placing bombs anywhere.
I do agree with Nitin though, all possibilities must be investigated. And it is obvious as to who would have a motive to kill a bunch of Pakistanis.

News coming in..
Security agencies probing the Samjhauta Express blasts on Tuesday night said the incident was the handiwork of Pakistan-based militant groups.
Highly-placed sources in Union Home Ministry said they had "vital clues," which included a telephonic conversation between a caller from Delhi to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
The sources declined to give out the identity of the militant groups behind the blasts, but hinted at sleeper cells of Lashkar-e-Tayiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed.
These militant groups, the sources said, have adopted a new modus operandi of detonating low-intensity blasts with explosive materials comprising readily available combustibles.
The matter would be taken up with Pakistan authorities who would also be apprised of the investigation into the blasts, the sources said, but ruled out it would be part of the agenda of the meeting between External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee and his Pakistani counterpart Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri on Wednesday.

Special rules violated, railway staff suspended
[QUOTE]TICKETS ISSUED in Delhi without confirming passengers' passport and visa details. Close checking of these details only at Attari. This was the procedure being routinely followed by railway officials. Sunday night's blasts on the Delhi-Attari Express were a disaster waiting to happen.
On Tuesday it was found that the railways staff had issued at least 50 general-compartment tickets for Attari on Sunday without recording the passengers' passport and visa details. Five railway officials have been suspended as a result for "negligence on duty".
"Passport details are a must for every ticket issued on this train," said Rajiv Saxena, spokesman, Northern Railways. But suspended chief booking supervisor, D.K. Sabharwal, said: "One need not have a passport to book tickets for Attari because it is an Indian station." Shaukat Ali, one of the TTEs on the train, said: "Proper checking takes place only at Attari."
Divisional Railways Manager Rakesh Saxena said it was impossible to say whether the 50 people who bought tickets for Attari for Sunday took this particular train.
But security experts were scathing in their criticism. "The train needed extraordinary security measures," said Ajai Raj Sharma, former commissioner of police, Delhi. "With such security lapses, this was waiting to happen."[/QUOTE]
Hope the official make up their mind on the procedure to follow.

Did they bomb the WRONG train???
IN an adjacent platform there was another train Sabarmati Express to leave for Ahmedabad in Gujarat. They say the platform was dark. Could it be that these people boarded the wrong train? The police and witnesses have confirmed that the 2 suspects whose pictures have been given, argued with a police personnel on board that they were supposed to board the other train. They were dropped off 15 minutes before the blasts. Another suspect (survived) threw a suitcase that contained bombs onto the tracks as the train was moving. Thats before the blasts. Something sure was happening. It is possible that they got onto the wrong train..
