What motivates Al-Quaida to target India

This time it was unique, it was unprecedented, its like what happens in war. People come in ships get on boats in high seas and launch an attack which is so meticulously planned that they can give the best commandos a run for their money.
These people like soldiers in war who do not think twice abt laying their lives for their country similarly these people had that same type of passion and didnt care about themselves but a question arises WHY!! why the hell they are targeting India a country which has never ever in their such a long history attacked or targeted any country, have never waged a war, never tried to expand their territory, never inflicted wounds on others an propogated non-voilence been targeted. On the contrary it has always been targeted our ancient universities were targeted the Nalanda and Taxila, they never preached voilence, they always preached humanity, compassion yet they were destroyed by invaders, still we dont want to say who did it or what was their religon coz we think it was past and has long gone by. The somnath never gave money to soldiers to kill people and spread religon, yet it was targeted , looted , plundered, and its not a one off example, we can see the entire country lined up with such instances along its length and breadth.
Even today in Kashmir these terrorist have killed more people, its these very people who had made life miserable it was these people who killed thousands of Hindus in the valley and changed the demography. Yet we forget that and say we can live together if you let us live in peace. Al-Quaeda spews venom against USA and UK as it say it has done many wrongs by killing so many in Iraq and Afghanistan but why INDIA, what have we done.
If i analyse then we have made a mistake of following our own path coz we dont have Islam as religon coz we dont follow shariah law inspite of having so many muslims, becuse we follow secularism because we hide the facts that what Islamic invaders did in the past so that our society is free of communal poison.Is this the thing that hurts them or.....something else.
Another resons I see is because we are the only successful country in South Asia to reach such height without the help of others unlike singapore and Hong Kong (who were helped by US) because we have the ability to some day become super Power and dominate the world proceedings and show that democracy and meritocracy are the best, is that they fear because their supporters are all failed states like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan etc ........the funds they get from Arab countries are no success stories they have money because they have oil but in all other aspects they backward.
For earlier blasts in India we said it was coz of Babri Masjid or communal riots or bad politics or bad influences of Madarsa schools ostensibly supported by ISI or some indigenous reason, those type of attacks could well have been managed by a strong police or proper political will but this new threat is different they have some bigger goals to fulfill and if they start mingling with SIMI etc then i am afraid instead of developing we will loose are way and to which place ..........god only knows.
What I guess motivates Al-Quaeda and its men to give up life fighting against India is that they cannot see a stronger force in their own backyard they cannot see an non-islamic nation with so many muslims and between so many islamic states and what captures their imagination is that if they can make India a war ravaged country and bring a taliban like regime in some muslim dominated areas in India then USA's dream of wiping out teroorism will never be fulfilled.
By doing this they want to capture the imaginations of radical muslims in India and they might be very succussful in the parts of India neighbouring Bangladesh where muslim population has exploded from less than 30% in 1982 to more than 55-60% in 2001 and if this rate continues then twards the west we already have a disturbing situation and towards the east it will be horrendous and then they will like to converge over central parts with the help of Indian muslims mind washed by the Madarsas...........
So by these type of attacks first they wanna wean away westerners bringing money which will lead to more chaos as job losses and poverty increases and that effectively will mean that they will get enough indegenous people to recruit and once they have the systems in place a full war be thrust on India not from outside but from within which will be so difficult to fight with such a coward and vote hungry political class that makes them to beleive that once it starts they definetly win it.


As a reader if you can think of any other reasoning then please enlighten me also..........

Indian position wrt LTTE

LTTE is a terrorist organization that nobody can deny and one of the inventors of Sucide bombers also. But these people are fighting for the people of Tamil origin and want to create a new Homeland in Sri Lanka, they say the tamils have not been given equal rights in that country and are being ill treated.
In my view if India has to become a super power it has to start taking care of people who belong to this country. Why do we not care about our people?? You look outside anything happens to Christians in India Diplomats from France and Vatican start coming for their rescue. If a mosque is demolished here, thousands of temples are broken in Bangladesh and Pakistan, large amounts of money pours in for help for muslims from Saudi Arabia and middle east there are numerous examples from countries like England and US. Infact once Ireland did not return the peices of Chess which belonged to the Queen in England that were left some 50 yrs ago and UK was ready to attack that country as it said this belongs to England and should be here in the mother land, imagine such a small pretext but response ............
But in stark contrast what India does, 22 BSF people are killed by Bangladeshi's and you dont do anything, organise two- three flag meetings on border and thats it.
Similarly in Sri Lanka if these people are linked to your country and share blood relations with many living in Tamil Nadu its your responsibility to save them and uphold their rights. but what do we do?? We help Sri Lanka fight LTTE ........
In my view
We could have played a very big role in helping Tamils in Sri Lanka, we could have bargained direct Indian inviolvement in those parts of Sri Lanka where there is large tamil population against India's help to fight LTTE.
This way we could have stopped China and Pakistan's direct involvemen in Sri Lanka and achieved a better life for our people settled there, the support LTTE gets there could have diminished had we been able to achieve the desired results.
But we lack this instinct for our own people we are so divide and busy in fighting ourselves that we cannot look at a greater picture.
Contrast this same situation in Kashmir pakistan is fighting as it says there are people who support pakistan and thus should be with them. Imagine what is Pakistan and what is India and see the response in the same type of situation infact kashmir is much beter than nothern Sri Lanka , we dont trample their human rights or are anyway trying to trample them.
And because we are not helping much for the cause of tamils in Sri Lanks, we are again alienating people in Tamil Nadu who share a very strong bond with them. Had these people been muslims or Christians many many quarters would have come to support them.......
Its high time India understands that it needs to safe guard not only its territorial integrity but also people integrity, till the time you harden your stance and come out with one opinion nobody is going to listen to you. You will always be known as soft power.
The need today is to think about long term solutions and make arrangements so that things change, this happens only if we follow a set of foreing policies for 15-20 years atleast coz it takes time to form an opinion but with foriegn policies in India changing drastically as govt changes , i dont see that happening any time soon.


Next i will elaborate about how countries have been formulating policies for a long time and have taken shape now.........

Terrorism

Last few years we have seen so many bomb blasts in our country that now we have come to live with it, it no longer springs a surprise that a blast has happened in guwhati or Bangalore or any place in our backyard. I want to ask people a question when will you start thinking about it???

Now you would say what will happen if we think we are not the policy makers, we can do nothing but i would like to put you in the shoes of people who have lost there near and dear ones in these blast (sorry for this and i whole heartedly pray that this doesnt happen to you) and then ask the same question will you not think about those blasts and just sit there feeling helpless. Some pussilanimous people will say yes but brave people will say a big NO and if they are not able to find a way that is legal and they dont see our so called ministers taking a tough decision then some people will take a wrong path and they will be mind washed by fanatics and they will also take a wrong path. I dont know how much sadhvi pragya or any of thaose accused have done that henious act but if you see the perpetrators of the previous blast have succeded in their motive that is dividing the society and making people fight between themselves. I dont know if these people had anything to do with the blast victims but i beleive that these victims will be the next in line to do so and i dont shy away in saying that if i would have been a victim, god only knows how many i would have wanted to kill. So we have to really start thinking before we loose our senses.

The blame game as usual has begun, nobody really cares about the blast or perpetrators what they care is how the hell will this benefit in next elections or how can we manipulate, whip up passions to get more seats. Who the hell cares about the country or its people, some noble souls who do, like Police men, Army men are taken for a ride by these so called public servants and even maligned.

Now the question still remains but what will happen if we think, i beleive that in India people like us who have been bestowed the power of independent, rational thinking who can analyse things take stock of the situation and know that some bloody fanatic can not take them for a ride, have to start thinking, before its too late. Right now you are engrossed in your jobs earning a nice monthly salary etc etc ............but sooner your contry will be in a state of civil war if people like Raj Thackray, malegoan blast accused start there crusade .........already we know islamic terrorism ( incidentally they have succeeded whatt they wanted and i dont anybody can explain them and voluntarily stop them) . So the point goes here is, let us think a way out of this and save our country as if we dont do this we might not a have a job also tomorrow.We have to find a way so that the poor illeterate person who can be mind washed and then taken for a ride dont fell prey to these people because we have these of people in plenty here thanks to our population and illetracy and many many social ills. So people pls think???
what i think is .............
Whichever govt comes whoever rules, he has to take care that he addresses 106 crore people of India not divide them and start looking through some bloody lenses. In this regard i like Narendra Modi(for a while forget 2002 , u may not like his examle) coz he views as CM 5.5 Crore Gujratis not Hindus not Muslims not any other we need similar type of people at the helm in the centre who talk about Indians as a whole and anybody who takes innocent lives of our country men be regarded as a traitor and anti India and not regard his religon. Because I have come to believe that if we wanna save our country we ought to start uniting not dividing. In my view naming any community in election rallies should be banned, if one has to say he should say i would like to work for 25% poor indians and stop saying 15% muslims or 5% OBC's etc etc. This might go a long way in uniting our country and the whole debate will then be about indians not groups of people.
Put your thinking caps on and lets together find a way out of this mess and dont think that what we few can do in a country of billion plus people or in these circumstances where people dont mind killing on a small pretext. I bet the situation isnt that bad as when Mahatma Gandhi started his crusade .........he started alone and the times of British raj were far worse than today.

Thats it for today, i have planned to write atleast three articles a week on an average lets see if i can succeed , i will try my level best.
i wanna seriously find a way ............its just not about writing. By writing i wanna refine my thinking and ideology and shape my mind and find a way ............PLS HELP

Also Pls do post comments .........

Introducing Myself

Well many many things were going on my mind and i needed a platform to vent my feelings so i remebered that i once used to have a blogsite but nevertheless i created a new one and here I am writing what i strongly believe and feel.
About me first, I am an IT professional based out of Chennai and have an interest in the well being of my country and want to see INDIA reach the Super Power status in my life-time.
I want to work out a strategy for that purpose and wanna actively work in that direction. I very well know that by being an IT proffesional i cant add any value for that purpose but i am looking out to see some path in that direction which i can trudge and help my motherland acheive its righteous position.
Any ideas are most welcome as we dont know from which corner a ray of Hope might enter and give my disillusioned soul a new direction where i will feel more satisfied and contended.

My ideas in all articles will be at your scrutiny and cricism is always welcome. I like to avidly debate what i beleive in, thus if you ahve a point do give a substantial argument and be ready to fight for it.

My topics can range from Polity to Economics to Corporate to IT to anything remotely influencing the well being of my countrymen.

In the end thanks for your patience for reading this and also would thank you in advance for reading other articles that i will post.
