The age of suicide fighters
The clean-shaven, lithe young men ravaging Mumbai are suicide fighters — planned, armed and committed for long battles — not the shadowy hit-and-run suicide bombers with which India is so familiar.
The detonation of a taxi on Wednesday seemed a diversion: the real teeth of the attack lay in small teams of highly trained commando-like fighters capturing buildings, taking hostages and preparing for a siege.
The Mumbai terror strikes fit neatly into the paradigm of jihad international. For the first time, the targets are no longer random markets or innocent Indians, but westerners.
Mumbai 26/11, said an Indian intelligence official, was executed by Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Tayyeba. Luxury hotels where westerners stay have become a popular target — assuring deeper fear and global publicity.

Shame on the BJP. It is unbelievable that a day after the terror attacks, with so many hostages still under threat, with this huge attack on the nation, this unprincipled, opportunistic, power hungry party of doddering and senile fundamentalists should take out a front page ad using this disaster to try to garner votes. Now all that remains is for Advani to go to the funerals and ask the families of the dead to vote for him.

No doubt our country is a multi culture and multi language one. This vividness should be our valuable asset and not a point to divide and fight in ourselves, as many new upcoming politicians are doing. The country and its masses are paying the cost of selfish people and their chosen (read elected) political personalities. Considering current era of India, we have become too vulnerable to negative forces. With a high growth ratio of your economy we are also heading towards a virtual civil war.
It’s high time that we come united now. There is no religion above humanity and brotherhood. Terrorism has not got any religion. To kill innocent people to proclaim any agenda is wrong. And wrong is wrong; wherever it is. We as Indian have to come forward, particularly the youths, its time for a revolution; the youths have to come forward from all the walks of the society. We have to stop regionalism and castes etc to make the India great not a particular state or anything. We have to stop criticizing things around and pull up our socks for our own efforts toward the nation building. Just blaming that this person or party has not done any thing for the nation is not good at all, just think that what we as an individual are doing to strengthen the country. Reject all rumors and start working now, the nation and the time require your each bit of effort. Please wake-up now. Vote to a national party, who cares for the whole nation. Youths you must have to come forward, after more than 60 years of independence this country needs you most. Bhagat Singhs, Raj Gurus, Ramprashad Bishmils, Asfak Ullah Khans and Subhas Chandra Boses, are very much needed today. Don’t wait for another 26 –Nov, wake up now or it will be too late.
