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.
