All this needs to change. In scale, brazenness and viciousness, the Mumbai attacks represented something new for India. As the fires cool, government expressions of sympathy for the victims and promises to prosecute those involved aren't going to cut it. Indian authorities need to move with dispatch on multiple fronts: improving intelligence collection, bolstering metropolitan policing and fashioning new policies designed to address the genuine grievances of the Muslim community. Failure will only invite more attacks from those who wish to tear the country apart.

    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.
