Your article on Jihadis scoring a blast was really thought provoking. While you have presented the facts as they are, you might want to look at all of it from a macro level.
From the past incidents its clear that in the event of any insurgency or sabotage army is the first force to be called in. Also, there are some casualities as the Fidayeen don't come to show a spectacular "Aatishbaazi". There foremost objective is to cause as much damage as possible.
It was really surprising why the army was not called in this case while the 'naive' J&K Police personnel just kept running helter-skelter for cover.
Another miracle of not having a single casuality also indicates the chances of all this being a staged performance.
Maybe its high-time we all should introspect into the genuinity of such incidents. Maybe J&K govt. and Center should adopt a better foreign policy rather than inviting international attention this way.
U are absolutely right. It is so maddenning to see that the Jihadis managed to strike when they were most expected. What were our security guys doing? Picking their noses?
The bus has to go on. Stopping the service now would give a boost to the Jihadis.
It is high time we scrap Article 370 and integrate Kashmir with the rest of the country. This will enable more and more people from all over India to go into Kashmir and indianise the whole state.
The Kashmiri separitists are not "Islamic terrorists waging jihad against the Union of India". They are fighting for a political cause that has nothing to do with religion, except that most of them are Muslims. Muslims in India are against the separatists' wishes to merge Kashmir with Pakistan.
