Terrorism watch

Via Indian Express,

Massive bomb in Srinagar.

This is ofcourse a serious concern and Indian government must take strong steps whict send unambiguous signal to "foreign-powers-which-will-not-be-named" that terrorism will not be tolerated.

In my humble opinion following steps will be a good start

1) India should issue a stern warning to Pakistan

2) India should summon Pakistani ambassador and criticize Pakistan for failing to curb terrorism.

3) PM should call Mussharaf and tell in no uncertain terms that India will not tolerate any more terrorism and this time it is for real, and NO it is not like past unreal real, but this time really real.

4) Whine before US/UN/EU/Japan/China/Elbonia that how Paskitan is being mean to India.

5) Ask Dr. Sandeep Pandey, Shaban Azaami,Kuldeep Nayyar,Arundhati Roy/Bono to light candels at Wagah or alternatively organize a concert to make Terrorism history

6) Claim that terrorists are just misguided/disaffected/repressed bacchaas (youths) who are angry at being marginalised/denied paradise/denied handouts/denied hashish.

7) Organise mushairas to encourage people-to-people contact with added attraction of delicious kebabas/muglai cuisine
