Violent shootouts in India

[cichlid2006]

it dragged on too long. this could have been finished a lot quicker if the indian commandoes had advanced Spec ops training. SAS or Delta would have had this wrapped up in the first 36hrs, after negotiations failed in the first 24 or first hostage death, ultimately leading to less collateral damage. those guys train for this and have units that do only this type of op as a specialisation. from what i was able to see on the news the indian commandoes were nowhere near as well equipped or prepared for such a scenario.

but it is very good news that its over. and there are now a few less terrorists in the world. now its the hellish time for the families of the deceased to try and piece together their shattered lives. i hope they get the support they deserve and will need.
i dont understand what the terrorists hoped to achieve by this and i probably never will.

The only terrorist who was caught alive by Mumbai Police. He confessed that the terrorists were given training in Pakistan for this massive destruction.

India is not like America where a large section of the population feels outrage against terrorists. In india, the powerful muslim votebank which keeps the ruling Congress party in power for generations, does not allow the sort of hands-on approach to Islamic fundamentalism that is needed. All those who seek tough action against terrorists are seen as enemies of secularism!! More Indians have died in islamic fundamentalist-operations in the last 50 years, than 10 times the number in 9/11. This includes the hostility on the border with pakistan that takes the toll of innocent people every year without fail. now even the papers ignore this diffuse genocide of Hindus and other non-muslims. ''Political correctness'' is bleeding this country dry of pride and nationalism. And no country can survive without it.
