Terrorist Attacks in India: Some Initial Reactions

Posted by Anirudh Suri on November 28, 2008 - 2:04am.

The terrorist attacks in India have shocked the nation, and the world. I want to express my deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences for the victims of these attacks and their families. The Indian security forces have displayed immense courage and fearlessness in rescuing hostages, including many foreign citizens, and securing all the buildings and landmarks that were attacked. As the encounters between the Indian security forces and the terrorists continue, we hope and pray that any further loss of innocent life is prevented.

Despite the heroic efforts of the forces, the terrorist act has raised serious doubts about India's intelligence and security apparatus. Indians have responded with an outpour of anger and outrage at this brazen attack, but they have also started to pose tough questions about the ability of the government to protect its citizens, and others residing in the country. The fact that this time around the terrorists specifically sought out and targeted British and American citizens points to the fact that terror attacks in India are no longer meant to hurt only Indians, but also to advance the cause of global jihadi movements.
