It is the handiwork of people who are disturbed by the progress the nation is making. It is time to unite and stop blaming any community. Because no community / religious group is innocent.
Secularism or no secularism this nation belongs to all of us, no one can take away that right. Concentrate on poverty allieviation and development then terrorism will go elsewhere.

I agree that no community/religion is innocent. However, a certain community seems to have established a reputation for itself for communal violence and the deaths of innocent lives. This has been proved to be true not only in India but other parts of the world. It is therefore naive to place much faith on secularism alone to eradicate terrorism. It is absolutely important to demonstrate that such terrorism (and the consequent violence and loss of human lives) is dealt with in a determined manner with intelligence and the full use of the laws of the land. The motivation for terrorism is certainly not a thirst for secularism but sheer hatred for another religion combined with jealosy against a progressive society. Secularism is, unfortunately, misunderstood and misapplied in India, thanks to the opportunistic and selfish politicians.
