Stop speculating, stop presumming, stop confusing, stop fingerpointing, stop spreading rumers, stop adding fuel to the situation.
Let the law enforcement agencies do their job and I hope they will be impartial in the probe. Let the truth come out whether they are hindu or muslim, killing innocent is no way acceptable and culprits should be punished whoever they are wherever they are.
Journalist's job is to make sure the investigations are impartial and just and not to add speculation, rumors, confusion.

I agree..Raman suffers from a propensity to dramatize every single incident, tongue firmly in cheek. Since he is able to see things with almost superhuman clarity why doesn't he get out of his armchair and actually do something to check this menace? The sad truth is, our intelligence agencies, despite their best efforts, are bound to have only limited success - because our society is open, tolerant to a great degree, our population is huge etc.
Meanwhile we could well do without the smoke and mirrors drivel that he dishes out as "analysis" after every terrorist incident. The fact that he was a sometime honcho in the intelligence apparatus affords him immunity from his facts being questioned. Bottom line, such cloak and dagger stuff is always to be taken with dollops of salt - especially when it comes from such self-professed oracles!

i dont see any wrong in this,so called law enforcements have been doing all these but what happens at the end,some psuedo- secularists (politicians) gives false statements and ppl forget but the issue remains the same...let the people think differently by all this speculation though they are facts.....
As usual i have not heard anything about hindus getting killed in the main stream media.
Reading all the news for the past few days, i was under the impression that majority if not all the killed were muslims. But what else can you expect from todays journalists.
Some idiots have even gone one step furthur to say hindu organizations are behind this blast. I myself would not mind that this train and any other such arrangements be stopped immediately.
this train has been started so that families seperated at the time of independence of india can visit each other. Within this country, kashmiri hindus have also been driven away from their homes and i wonder why the government does not want them to visit their homes in kashmir and have people to people contact. LOL

Dhruv, I hope you have read previous articles of B Raman. His aim is to create confusion between Hindus & muslims. You can check all his articles most of them are those that creates divission between the indian. So don't take his wrtings too serious
it is shamefull that mainline media like rediff writting "27 hindus and ONLY 22 muslims got killed". How many more deaths you want to equal the numbers ? There is not better (or worst) way to divide the society when you are reporting the blast on SAMJHAUTA express which itself means....consideration and concilation. It is nothing but shameful on rediff's part.....For GOD sake (Ok for YOUR GOD sake) pls stop this.

Dear Tejpal, What you think about media in india. It is more corrupt than the all politician and others, the difference is that there is no body who can write about them. Media itself have been sold to the politics parties. If you remember, Laloo's daughter's boyfriend, who was killed few months ago. Media first bring it to news and then there is no news now. There are so many cases like that. if you have power and money you can do anything in India thats what i have heard and seen and it is true.

do not blame rediff. rediff is typing what they got from pakistan and indian government. please read it "india divided based on country but pakistan divided based on religion" and rediff typed what pakistan government provided. this is not the fault of rediff but pakistan government and cullture created by pakistanis. so blame pakistan and there culture and the follower of that culture. show anger to right person and not to rediff.

Sir, The fact is that those who kill do this kind of division on basis of religion before they kill. And such division is the reason that they kill. If you want to stop them, you will have to ask such questions and understandt the psychology. Now you might say it is bad to publich in media, only law enforcement officials need to understand this.... But then you might as well be born an ostrich. It is useless today to hide behind political correctness in garb of "do not divide people", when the ground realities are different.
If you do not try to understand what is happening around you, you are getting targeted to become extinct.

It is very sad that the mainstream media like rediff stepping down to religion based statistics. I believe this article is just adding fuel to the fire.
Shame on Rediff for publishing these type of cheap articles which divides the society.
