1- A Radical muslim movement “Muslim unity” was supported along the lines of “workers unity” , Distant events in Turkey had impact in India in first part of last century. The Indian National Congress accomodated most of those demands. Good number of Muslims were there in Indian National Congress.

2- In the middle of last century, with british support, muslim brotherhood was taken in form of partition of India. Its leader was not a devout muslim. But this thing degenerated into one of the worst and less spoken violence of last century. Hindus got cleaned from land of Pure ( That is the meaning of Pakisthan), and gradually from Bangladesh.

3- In 1990s hindus again got cleaned up from Kashmir, where they stayed with muslims since the time muslims invaded it hundreds of years ago. Pakisthanis created these terror camps and sent them to India. It is the same Lakshar that had sent the terrorists to Mumbai . In kashmir they performed cruel attacks on the villagers, it killed them like animals.It also conducted daredevil attacks and engaged the security forces.

In the intervening decades, India had fought two major wars with Pakisthan.

4- When the then USA president Mr Clinton visited India, these Lakshars were dressed in Army fatigue and massacred an entire sikh village in the darkness of night. Then they spread the rumor that Indian Army has massacred sikhs also !! Fortunately Mr Clinton saw through it, President Clinton had condemned the terrorists.

5- The muslim brotherhood of Pakisthan didn’t work, it was split into two after dissatisfaction and atrocities in east pakisthan.

Pakisthan see the ummah or muslim brotherhood, and its power brokers managed to rule that country by selling this premise. India essentially says that brotherhood logic is internal to Pakisthan’s ideology.

Thank you so much for this post. I wonder about Zardari (President of Pakistan) to be effective in verifying ISI really gets dismantled… He was (is?) quite corrupt when Benazir Butho (”Mr 10%”) was PM… What’s your take of him in this regard?

Regarding your point 5 and some of the media hysteria, I want to share with you part of an email from a friend at the Tata Institute (Science Research center; researchers live there as well) which is in
between 1 to 3 km from South Mumbai (where the attacks too place)

A curfew was imposed in this area for the past 36 hours to stay at home
and security has been stepped up at the Institute as well. The situation
is far from over within the city, but TIFR and our housing colony are on
Naval Grounds and consequently, we are in a safe enclave. The mounting
loss of life and damage to historical/heritage sites has been devastating
and it will be some time before the city recovers from this tragedy.
…..
I will leave you with a good image: while most of the academics and
students at TIFR have been milling about watching the community
television, generally unhappy while attempting to work in “life as normal”
mode, the most disciplined and dedicated staff have been those of the
canteen (cafeteria), who managed, even with the trains and buses stopped,
to arrive and serve us three full meals and three regular teatimes with
only an hour delay for breakfast..

I watched the news reports of the massacre in Mumbai while standing in line at the bank today, and burst into tears.

Different strokes for different folks. (Or maybe I fail to see the humor, because I am Jewish.)
