Banglore Afghan Blowback blasts broadcast breakup of Bharat?


Banglore Bombs: Blowback from Kabul–Pakhtuns to India: Get out of Afghanistan    

| NEW YORK | RUPEE NEWS | July 25th, 2008 | Moin Ansari | The earthquake had already hit the service sector in Madras. The explosions in the heart of India’s $50 Billion IT industry has reverberations beyond the “Computer coolies” who many the Call Centers. While China offers stability and has begun bundling Chinese IT services with its products, the Bangalore is now rocked by real bombs–a result of India’s failed foreign policy that seeks hegemony with all her neighbors. Pakistan, Nepal, China, and Bangaladesh are RAW’s enemies

Bangalore seems to have been chosen for the latest terror strike in the country for three main reasons. First, the city is a household name and a successful attack here is guaranteed to generate wide publicity. Second, never having seen a major terrorist attack before, it was an easy target with security relatively lax. Third, the environment was not altogether hostile or unfamiliar: key members of groups espousing militant Islam have been arrested in this city, and are known to have built some rudimentary network within it.

the city has around 1,500 infotech firms, employing over 4 lakh people, and accounts for a third of India’s $41 billion software exports. Nor is its importance confined to just IT; it is also the hub of India’s aerospace, electronics and biotechnology industries. The attack on Bangalore using low-intensity bombs is guaranteed to heighten the sense of insecurity and terror across the country, while causing relatively little actual damage. Hindustan Times

India intelligence: “‘the aim of RAW is to keep internal disturbances flaring up and the ISI preoccupied so that Pakistan can lend no worthwhile resistance to Indian designs in the region.”

India: Dalit Aparthied in plain site. World apathy is appaling!

The latest terror strike in Bangalore carries an insidious message for the Manmohan Singh government.
The perpetrators have signalled their ability to strike at will and even calibrate violence in a manner that could see UPA pay a heavy political cost in an election year.

In the absence of any significant breakthroughs, the government is on the backfoot while inter-community relations remain edgy. The erosion of trust between communities is a natural consequence of such blasts and gives rise to a worrying polarisation.

The government has floundered in the face of previous strikes with most of the cases ranging from Malegaon, Varanasi, UP, Hyderabad bombings and the Jaipur serial attack still marked as “unsolved”.

The spread of attacks to south India has quickened in the past few years with discovery of training camps in Karnataka and threats to target the IT industry.


What would worry the government is that Friday’s blasts had a chilling subtext that things could have been much worse if the explosive was more powerful and kept in crowded places.

The ease with which the bombs were detonated has deepened a sense of insecurity in Bangalore and would have a resonance in other cities as well.

For terror groups, both foreign-based and homegrown, seen as the likely culprits, fear is the key in sharpening social tensions. Times of India 

Afghanistan: Why was India attacked in Kabul? The same reasons may be true for attacks on India itself. Is India a failed state? Yes. India is not a state.The triumphalist Indian press of course did the usual, within minutes of the explosions, the India media  pulled out thee old stories writted decades ago, and simply put a new dateline on them. Here is a story from the Hindus Times screaming that Pakistan and Bangldesh did it or was it the Tamils. The venom them bgan flowing towards all Muslims.Failed States Index Scores 2008 : India.The failure of India’s left to throw out the Ino-American nuclear deal and the government that is supporting it may galvanize them into forming stronger ties among the Communists, Dalits and the Muslims.

The blasts took place at the Madiwala bus depot, Mysore road, Adugudi, Adugudi, Koramangla, Vittal Mallaya road, Langford Town and Richmond Town. (TOI graphic)

Bangalore Police Commissioner Shanker Bidri, while talking to Times Now, confirmed that the explosions appear to be act of the people who wanted to terrorise the capital of Karnataka. He also said that all these bombs were of low-intensity and were triggered by timers.

Soon after the serial explosions, the police ordered closure of all schools, colleges, cinema halls and commercial complexes.

Bangalore blasts, a sign of growing threat: Rajnath: As per the latest reports, the SIMI and LeT operatives have been arrested and they are being interrogated. The police sources said that these terror attacks bear the hallmarks of Bangladesh outfit HuJI.

The impact of these blasts go beyond Madras. Foreign firms who were always jittery about India may be really scared and some may pull out. The Naxalites emboldened by the Maoist win in Nepal may now openly attack the government. With Madras in turmoil now, the Norhteast in open rebellion, Kashmir is in armed insurrection and the large swathe of land from Nepal to Andhara Pradesh in open mutiny. These bombs may be just the begining of the end of the conglomeration of more than 570 states. http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Traders-fear-Gulmarg-blast-will-further-affect-tourism-revival/339591/
