As the saying in Panchatantra goes, if nothing else works out, then the only way is the ultimate punishment. If there are aggressors like Pakistan or Bangladesh,where people understand only killing and suicide bombing, then action has to be taken immediately: the action has to be effective, whatever be the one time cost. Even otherwise India is paying a heavy price in terms of economy, demography and security. What else is the Government waiting for before taking a stern step? It is a very well known sad fact that we at a thin edge trying to save the country from land grabbers and jihadis. Something has to be done before puny countries like Bangladesh also get nuclear weapons from our neighbours. Else, we will be tied up from all directions. It is no point fearing that these countries will see a surge in Islamic terrorist activities if we decimate them. They are and will be ruined anyway due to their medieval outlook. So, it is high time the Indian government takes a PROACTIVE step to save whatever remaining we have.
Three steps Security system can be considered for the security of Rail/Bus/Etc.
Step One:- the rail Coach/bus/railway trach etc once must be checked 100 % risk fee and the same may pls be insurred by the Concern skilled officer.
Second Step:-then One sensor is installed at a safe place and such sensor is connected with any remote control centalised security system being 24 hours observed.If any thing which interred into any rail coach/bus/rail rack/ airport/ aeroplane etc can further classified as risk free and hazardeous.
Thirs Step:- All Hazardeous things can be detected by the sensor and the things can be made 100 % safe.

You are absolutely right. Political mileage what one get is more importent than sincere desire to find out the realistic solution. Our policy is let time decide. Because we spend our power in getting chair, then maintening it, but have no power left out to think on bold positive solutions.

I absolutely agree with you Pradip, Blasts occur and forgotten, Can anyone believe this thing can occur without local support? Jihad is another name of terrorism, DId US talk with any when it lost her citizen, Here in India who cares for lives of citizens, whn they are busy in implementing Sachar\'s commission report,US could talk a bold step to invade IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, We are still thinkin of clemency to Abdul Fazal, who attacked so called temple of democracy, inhouse of selfish bunch of people, power grabbing is issue..Views of our security advisor are vague and insane.I think he is much into give clarification to the terrorism deeds or rather justify them... HAts off UPA government, Dalit chief justice, Humble security advisor, Inflation curbing by reducing fuel prizes,, Thanks to controller of the government.. God save INDIA..

Look where the US has got with its "bold step" of invading Iraq and Afghanistan. The west has nearly lost the war in Afghanistan, and Iraq has descended into civil war. The answer to problems is dialogue, not aggression. It's much easier and sexier to blow people up, but the result is to create more problems, not solve them. In the UK, we talked to the IRA and now there is peace there. The more we act like dialogue with terrorists is doing them a big favour, the worse the problem becomes. This premise of governments like the US and Israel, that talking to your opponents is a sign of weakness, is demonstrably rubbish - look how the situation in Israel keeps getting worse. If the Delhi government hadn't screwed up talks with ULFA, Assam might not now be the tinderbox it is now. Really, you just need to look around the world to see that aggression is an easy, popular and stupid response. Dialogue and diplomacy is complex, unpopular, and messy. However in the long term it is what produces results. Anybody who is really interested in peace and takes a look at history and the world around them will acknowledge this.

US is a wrong analogy here. It is no one's case that we invade Pakistan.
However, is it not shameful that after every blast, most of government energy is not spent on finding the culprits or root causes but assuring (whom ?) that peace process will not be derailed!
Be firm, stop these silly games of people to people contacts, stop trade, revoke MFN status, declare Pakistan as terrorist country (Do not look to US for it, do it yourself), scrutinize movement of funding.
You will definitely get votes too and you may not lose the category of votes you are afraid of.

Terrorism can only be eliminated if its root causes are addressed sincerely.

Dear Santhosh, Rightly said. These retired officers like Narayan and his family should walk on the road without and security cover, Then only he will realise what terrorism means. He is unfit to any kind of security related job- even in a residential flat.
Mr. Narayanan, you are simplying the problem of terrorism. Terrorism can never be justified in the name of deprivation, disgruntled people, lack of education, etc. If we start looking for excuses, then all terrorists have one or many of them. The only solution to deal with it is with a heavy hand. We have seen that the carrots approach is ineffective.

The only solution to deal with terrorism is to get to its root cause sincerely and then eradicate it with a heavy hand. The present war against it will only multiply it.

Unless you believe in magic, the world is governed by cause and effect. If you beat somebody, they will cry out. Looking for the cause of a problem and removing it will always be more effective in the long term than trying to address a symptom. Giving somebody aspirin when they have a wound may relieve the pain - but fail to treat the wound, and the patient will die. It is essential to ensure justice is done - but if there is no attempt to address the root cause, there will never be a real, long term solution. The carrot approach has been effective in many places - Northern Ireland, Chile, East Timor. You don't hear about them in the news because - guess what - they are OK and not descended into civil war.

Northern Ireland, Chile, East Timor had different types of problem, their only aim in life was not terrorism. Here we have countries sourrounding us (particularly Pakistan and Bangladesh) whose only intent is to cripple India. If you look at the track record of Pakistan since inception, it has only supported terrorism, not just against India but the whole world. If there is a bomb blast anywhere in the world, the root goes towards Pakistan (examples 9/11, London blasts, Kashmir and innumerable blasts in India).
Given this kind of scenario, carrots are out of consideration, only brute force can succeed.

I have been to Pakistan. The people I met were far more concerned with fixing the development problems of Pakistan than with India. It is arrogant and wrong to assume that all Pakistanis are concerned with is destroying India. The _government_ of Pakistan and the ISI have certainly pursued an aggressive policy towards India - but it is my belief that this is essentially to distract the attention of the population from the chronic failures of the various governments to address the basic development problems. Recent history has demonstrated that working with Pakistan to bring people together, foster mutual understanding, and address these underlying problems has significantly reduced the level of aggression and terrorism. What could possibly be achieved with brute force? An (incredibly expensive and politically unmaintainable) occupation of Pakistan? What is your exit strategy? How would you step back from nuclear war? How would you prevent it descending into another Iraq or a third world war? Ridiculous.

Even after knowing the terrorism spreading its wings in India our honarable president is busy in taking decision to hang the person attacked on our parliment... if this continues god only can save us
We must take steps to develop a strong second line to the present security advisor of the country. The globalisation of our country and resultant developments in selected areas, bound to keep terrorism alive for a long time to come.

Narayanan is just a show piece, even UPA doesnt listen to Manmohan, how Naryanan's voice could be heard?
