Indian name
by Shyam on Jul 30, 2008 12:51 PM

The author opines the name is given to have Indian feel. But I feel that terrorist needs no such local identities. It could be rather to form and specialise groups for country-wise terrorist operations. Pakistani terrorists are spread all over the world and for carrying out specialised localised operations in India they would have given this name. On the one hand it makes common man in India and Pakistan think that it is purely Indian terrorism and has nothing to do with Pakistan. This notion can be well sold to US too for sometime. On the other hand such name would allow recruiting and identify people in area specific way for operations.



In fact giving an Indian name to terrorist outfit has more negative effects for the Islamic Community as a whole - all these years we were thinking India as one and Pakistan as our common enemy; but now we have started seeing all muslims as our enemies and are seeing our own many year neighbours as potential dangers. Every muslim is looked down upon as a potential terrorist now and the very existance of muslims in India can face serious challenges in the very near future due to Pakistani miscalculations.
