Stop mocking nationalism and stop mocking development. Muslims mock nationalism while these casteists mock developed communities. Developed communities are the least likely to attack anyone else, because they are leading more responsible lives. Those who mock nationalism and those who mock developed communities are the ones more likely to engage in such bombing attacks, because they have unhealthy values which only lead them into irrational hatreds.

It is not desirable to be jingoistic or parochial etc.
But time has come to do something serious about this menace. Being meek and conciliatory has brought about this situation today.
Unfortunately, Hindus will continue to get targeted unless they collectively respond to this and stand united.
Tragedy is that the middle-class Hindus are the worst culprits. they are the first ones to bash each other, and the results are there for all to see.
As a indicator of how the terrorists or Pakis perceive the Hindu community, remember how the Paki cricketers used to ridicule us by saying we are not tough enough, have guts or the ability to stand up to challenges (as the main reasons that India could not go for the kill in the heated ODIs of the 80s and 90s) in spite of good cricketers in the Indian team.
Things may be changing a bit in the current Indian cricket team, but the situation as far as the Hindu community goes is still as bad. To top it all, the minute anyone expresses the injustice and problems faced by Hindus, the media will jump and brand that person or the Hindus in India as "Hindu Nationalists"!!!
