they fear terror so much they import it by trainloads and bus loads while their govt declares that their national resources belong foremost to jihadi-friendly religion. hindus should have voted this phenomnon as the greatest wonder of the world, not the taj mahal.
Wonder why India should be shocked at her death, rather than be shocked at how many Indians she indirectly had killed due to her misplaced sympathy with Kashmiri terrorists. One can still recall her ravings and rantings on Kashmir and her encouragement to "jihadis" to fight India. She slept with the devil and gor her due, though a bit late. While one may feel sad that a woman has been cold bloodedly murdered, we also need to think how much of our countrynem's blood was shed just because she wanted to hoodwink the attention of Pakistanis from her looting and divert them towards a bogey called India (which is a common trait among all Paki leaders anyway). Her death only adds to the notion that Pakistan is a failed state and that religion is not a great unifier. India should actually take more steps to secure our boders and ruthlessly stamp out terrorists (whether they are religious, "secular", commie-maoist, naxalite.. whatever). Our soft stand and attitude will only serve to endanger our security and will not help India. Of course, God save Pakistan.

I wonder how u indian feel proud on the assisination of the bb. i AM SORRY TO SAY THAT IT IS NOT BB BUT INDIAN LEADERS WHO GOT THOUSANDS OF KASHMIRIS KILLED IN THE LAST SIX DECADES. i DO NOT RECOGNISE KASHMIR AS PART OF INDIA HOW CAN INDIA CLAIM OVER KASHSMIR WHEN IT IS THE PARTY FOR TAKING THE ISSUE TO THE UNO. IT IS SHAME FOR INDIA FOR THE GENOCIDE OF THE KASHMIRIS AND INDIA HAS TO PAY FOR IT ONE DAY.
You are entitled to your views like how I am and if you do not recognize Kashmir, it is your problem. As for India paying for it one day, please look at your own backyard and the ghosts within yourselves, those that have now come out to haunt your country. If you read my message clearly, you will recognize that I have written about most Pakis being carried away by the bogey of Kashmir. Your leaders want to perenially make you guys think of nothing else and this is done just to divert your attention from their misdeeds. There are many "leaders" like that in India as well, but most people of India have the ability, commomsense and wisdom to see through them and not carried away by jingoism and false pride. Also your dear BB was sentenced by your own courts of massive corruption, nepotism and she was also suspected of having her own brother shot. If you cannot accept this, it is again your problem. Please live for today or should I say, try to live among all the mayhem in Pakistan. As for India, this country will always rule supreme and remain strong and prosperous.

BETE JAA KE PEHLE ITIHAAS KE PANNE KHOL AUR PFIR BOL KE PAKISTAN KA BAAP KAUN HAI AUR KASHMIR KISKA HAI
Its high time we people unite and kick out terrorism in all forms. Terrorists will fail if they failed to get the support of people. So lets unite and stamp out terrorism. I have heard there is a mini pakistan in Hyderabad. People hoisting Pakistani flags and terrorising traders by collecting money for terror fund and even cheering pakistani cricket teams. If these people as so obsessed with that country they should leave India and go there. We should kick them out. These are the people who enjoy the freedom, subsidies and benefits given by vote bank politics and involve in anti india activities. Its high time our people realize this and kick all those out of our nation.
God save India for selfish politicians and terrorists.

Shame on the democratic world.... by MAHESH VASWANI on Dec 28, 2007 06:00 AM | Hide replies
President Pervez Musharraf must take responsibility for Benazir Bhutto's assasination at Rawalpindi on 27th December. The house arrest and sacking of Chief Justice of the pakistan Supreme Court Iftekar Choudry and Benazir Bhutto's killing are sequences in genocide of democracy in Pakistan.
What Pervez Musharraf needs to realise is that life means change, continuous change. Intolerance of this truth wont change things for his destiny as Pakistan's ruler.
Is is the saddest moment regarding our neighbouring country in the recent times. May her soul rest in peace.
Her assasination is a SHAME on the leaders of the democratic world. Its high time UN Peace Keepers intervened in Pakistan for the cause of the Human Rights of the common people of Pakistan.
Mahesh Vaswani, Final Year Law student, Mumbai University, Mumbai.
The cold blooded killing of Benazir may not shock some as killings in Pakistan have become as sure as sun rise every morning. The main reason for the calamitous turn is religious intolerance, without any rhyme or reason. These zealots think they are acting for God who, as usual, always remains unseen.
Benazir had a western upbringing having studied in Oxford & Harvard. She was more comfortable with her western outlook, but as the scion of the dominant political family she thought she could make a difference. She knew the dangers and went in, eyes wide open.
Some feel we should just carry on as none of our business. I feel while we should allow things to settle down in Pakistan, we have to also learn our lessons. We have given meaning to our lives outside the religions. Anybody willing to work it out can come up in life. Despite the religious posturing of a minority, most of us know, which side of the bread is butter. Belief in God only, will not fill our stomachs. We have learnt to be self dependent.
Religious intolerance has to be kept away at any cost. I shudder always when our politicians play with fire for selfish ends and many, mainly poor, pay with their lives. The festival of democracy can end sooner than we think, if we do not rein in on these unscrupulous people. The lessons played out in Pakistan, Sri Lanka have to be learnt by us all as how things can go horribly wrong. Pakistan is not suited for democracy, but are we so different?
I am not sure why India was shocked. This assasination was inevitable. Bhutto becoming a popular leader was not good for anyone. US needs a puppet. Mush needs absolute power. Osama and his like do not like Women in power. I am more sorry for all the innocent bystanders who lost their lives in this viscious Political game.
Bhutto was no angel when it cames to relations with India. She openly instigated muslim hatred and created many problems in Kashmir when she was in power. Even as a ruler of Pakistan, she was ousted from power on both ocassions and hoarde large amounts of money in swiss banks. No wonder she was able to impose an exile on herself and lead a Happy life in London and Dubai. I think she got carried away by the chance of another stint as PM of Pakistan an took this stupid risk. Not only did she die, she caused the death of more hundreds of innocent civilians.
At best, India should observe a moment of silence since she is a state leader and leave it at that. No need to get emotional about it.

On Humanitarian ground we (Indians) can send our pity to her family. There is no wrong. Eye for eye is not good.
Why Pakistan is not a secular nation? Is secular not a good thing for Pakistanis? Or because they think an Islamic nation is better than a secular nation?
