Delhi’s Three Fatal Flaws

This is all untrue, Does the auther know what documents have been exchanged with Pakistan? All the proof was shown also on Indian TV Media. USA and UK are the biggest game players of politics which is unavoidable. The advantages what the muslim population in India is not even given to Brahmins of India. The reason why USA and UK neglects, is due to the fact to avoid war between India and Pakistan during global slowdown. The auther of this article has absolutly no idea of what he wants to write.

Amidst all talk of involvement of Pakistan or some elements in Pakistan in Mumbai terrorist attack, as usual, focus on revamping and strengthening internal security system has dimmed again. That's how our politicians wanted it to be played and ultimately they had seemed to have done it!

Politicians in India are selfish, corrupt, vision-less, spineless & vision-less. One fallout of democracy is to win, a politician needs emotional-communication skills to sway masses rather than knowledge, intellect, vision or character.

Where is India's ambassador to the US?

In all the previous terrorists attacks which India has faced, sooner or later, Pakistan connection was found. Either it was some pakistani personnel or trained in pakistan. Indian kashmiris are trained there and sent back to their homeland to kill their fellow countrymen. All this is done only in pakistan. However it may be possible that pakistan is becoming scapegoat this time, but earlier experiences force us to make this assumption.and this may be possible that due to inability of the senior officials to take a step , they might be making pakistan as an excuse to save themselves right now. also the guy arrested this time told himself that he was trained in karachi. how come this is possible that such experts are being trained in such a big city of pakistan and people of pakistan do not know abt that.
Blaming pakistan is inevitable.

Contrary to what the author claims, India has already 'convinced' all and sundry that it is a victim of terrorism. And the world has heard ad nauseum that 'external forces' are the source of evil befalling it. The trouble is playing the Pakistan card, despite the perceived sympathy that doing so brings, serves no purpose other then perhaps winning votes for crook politicians fom ignorant and illiterate Indians, who unfortunately comprise a majority of Indian population.

Perhaps a better solution could be to employ resources to recruit some of its 41% or so of those living below the poverty line and train them to prevent such attacks in future? Or perhaps it could just demand it police/military/ intelligence officials to start delivering.

But then again why should it? After all, it has such convenient scapegoats to deflect criticism from its inability to safeguard its citizens' lives.

Sadly, some things never change.

blacktofu,
Who are the loosers, Pakistanis or the world community ? It seems you condone your fellow Pakistanis acts of terror. The reason why I and the rest of mankind in theworld hate Pakistan and Pakistanis is because Pakistan and Pakistanis are emerging as a satanic force in the world. Who/which know(s) nothing but total wickedness and evil. Almost every act of criminality, terror, crookedness, corruption and etc in the world, has a Pakistani hand in it. Now are you proud of your evils or shameful about it ? Why you Pakistanis can't think straight ? Or is it the curse of al mighty God upon you, so He has turned you all into a satanic nation ? You have brought immense shame upon Muslim world. So to restore Islam's glory, al mighty God will wipe out Pakistan from the face of the earth. You will see !

When we in America were targeted with equally reprehensible attacks, we did not lauch a PR drive to convince the world about so-and-so's role. We went after the terrorists as hard as we could. And we took measures to monitor threat level threat as well as to reduce the magnitude lest we were attacked again. India, despite facing repeated attacks, has refused to do so- and the incompetence, seen in the wake of the Mumbai's attack attest to this.
Blaming 'external links' and Pakistan has always been the knee-jerk reaction. But it is no panacea to India's woes. After all, if the terrorists were so compilant of Pakistan's wishes then surely the country would not have been the victim of devastating terrorist attacks like the gruesome bombing of Islamabad Marriot just two months ago.

This Ganguly is making the wrong judgement and conclusion. Just like the Indian government in quick to accuse Pakistan of the terror but slow in the rescue response. The Indian government jumped the gun; without any concrete evidence and intel data/proof, the Indian government put all the blame on Pakistan when infact the gunmen were homegrown! The Indian government is putting all the blame on others to hide its faults and incompetencies, for example the India government does not have the CSI to really compile all the proof and forensic evidence to get to the source of the problem.

Mr.Ganguly,
Can you highlight the role of finance( "Saudi and Islamic charity",Money laundering and counterfiets,smuggling, Narcotics trade,Hawala) in propping up entities like political,military,and intelligence establishments of rogue states like Pakistan and now Bangladesh? Likewise the sources of funding for "non state" entities in Pakistan,Afganistan including narcotic trade.

The representation of minorities must be promoted on secular credentials. Islam as is practiced today does not allow such a course, be it in education,political and social discourse. Till the recent boom in India, the expatriation to middle east favoring muslims had given this distorted hope to riches and illusions about social progress.Despite the most basic and poorly financed public school education in India, it has produced most of the successful and intellectual minds in India and abroad. Irrespective of the religious and socio-economic class, education has been the key to success. The media must influence the public and the policy makers on such life enhancing tools.

Minority representation and discrimination are one and the same for the failed political and religious leadership in Islamic community in countries like India. It is no diferent in "moslem" country like Pakistan. What can you say about the educational institutions in the restive areas in Pakistan?
The fundamental reasons are many.Minority representation in a secular multi-ethnic and multi-religious country like India, is not one of them.

Ascholar makes a valid point. Muslims need to change their mindset. However I also believe it is the government???s responsibility to help them do so rather than ignoring them like they are an illegitimate child. They are backward so let them be. This attitude wont cut it either.

Mr. Ganguly - as usual your blaming the lack of opportunities for Muslim youth in India is baseless and misinformation. Take a look at the pharmaceutical industry (Cipla hameid), film industry (Shahrukh), sports (Sania, Zaheer), IT (Premji), politics (Kalam) and many other places. Some of these individuals have come from the very same depths the terrorists have come from. Your rhetoric to propagate this lie only prompts more of them to become terrorists. They have a choice - become productive or get caught up in rhetoric such as yours. And yes I hope the families of Western victims go after Dawood Ibrahim and ISI for compensation. Time to cripple and bring them to justice.
