The Mumbai attacks have been dubbed ’India’s 9/11’, and there are calls for a 9/11-style response, including an attack on Pakistan. Instead, the country must fight terrorism with justice, or face civil war.
We’ve forfeited the rights to our own tragedies. As the carnage in Mumbai raged on, (…)

The recent horrendous terror attacks in Mumbai are obviously totally atrocious. They have woken up our elite citizenry of Mumbai and the country to the dangers of terrorism as nothing ever has. There have been many terror attacks in this country before — several serial blasts in major cities of (…)

If you believe for a moment that the residents of Mumbai are angry about the recent terror attacks, then they have succeeded in fooling you. There is no anger; there is irritation. Their daily routines have been mucked up.
For those 60 hours when terrorists took hold of what have been (…)

3 days and nights of terror. India’s worst-ever experience of terrorism till date, claiming close to 200 lives, including those of brave personnel of the police, ATS and NSG. The shock, tears, and anger still shake all of us to our roots. Undoubtedly, this juncture is a turning point, calling (…)

Watching at least four English news channels surfing from one another during the last 60 hours of terror strike made me feel a terror of another kind. The terror of assaulting one’s mind and sensitivity with cameras, sound bites and non-stop blabbers. All these channels have been trying to (…)

As the smoke lifts from Mumbai, skepticism must prevail over those conjectures which support the official state narrative. It is crucial to increase the pressure for transparency and accountability at this moment to ensure that India doesn’t slide into the same state as post-9/11 USA.

The terrorist assault on Mumbai’s five-star hotels was well planned, but did not require a great deal of logistic intelligence: all the targets were soft. The aim was to create mayhem by shining the spotlight on India and its problems and in that the terrorists were successful. The identity of (…)

Recent revelations following investigation into the Malegaon blasts have given a serious jolt to our complacent and commonsensical political notions. Contrary to the commonsense impression that the Sangh Parivar specialises only in communalism leaving the business of terrorism to other (…)

They had been talking about double-digit economic growth. Instead, it is inflation which has crossed the double-digit barrier and the upward climb of the price spiral shows no sign of slowing down. As we go to press, officially measured inflation has reached a thirteen-year high, equalling the (…)

The arrogant Communist Party of India-Marxist [CPI (M)] leadership in West Bengal had predicted that the panchayat election in the state would serve as a referendum on the state government’s ’industrialisation’ programme. The word ’industrialisation’ for them is, of course, only a euphemism for (…)

IN his Mumbai speech on January 21, Benito NaMo Ghanchi alias Modi posed as a medieval warlord and excoriated the “Delhi Sultanate”. The speech is substantively much more than merely a reprobate demagogue’s rant. It should send chills down the spine of not just the minorities but also the entire (…)
