Terrorism & Indian connection
India is bearing the brunt of terrorism since the beginning of cold war.Kashmir has been the Achilles heel for India since Independence.
We have seen the Kashmir Insurgency were sizeable Kasmiri’s or Indians were involved in the so called freedom movement.
While the snowy mountains of Himalayas are returning to peace the other parts of India are being rocked by blasts.
Purportedly by an organization called Indian Mujahideen. I have explained in my previous blog why they are not Mujahid & referring them so is derogatory to the word Jihad.
Now let us try to understand the Indian connection of it.
Outlook gives a chronlogy of bomb blasts in India since October 2005 in different parts of the country. The last three serial blasts including Ahemadabad blasts have been carried out in BJP rules states.
Until the Gujrat massacre Indians were unheard of participating in terrorist organization however that view has to be changed.
As much as these blasts are no different than shock & awe that are carried out by warring nations against each other, it is a call to wake up Indian governments at state & center not to alienate any of the constituents of people how small or big.
As it has become, extremely difficult to identify the actual perpetrators of those carrying out these blasts.
It is important to all Indians to understand as Advani has already , that one cannot rule with peace till they work for Rashtrahit
As Australian Federal Police was not able to prove any involvment in the acts of terror , detained Dr. Haneef for more than 10 days .As Dr.Haneef was brought him to the court on charge of being “reckless” as his SIM was used by Kafeel Ahmed, the perpetrator of Glasgow bombings, could not provide any face saving grace.

(1) Your tag should mention Australia rather than Britain
(2) Thanks for keeping non-English speakers aware of this, and the lack of human rights over here in Oz
(3) It’s not only the government being cavalier with democratic principles, you ought to see how the Murdoch press is representing him (see my summary which has a photo gallery

Hi Nita and others on this blog!
I was looking for more stuff on haneef since i am close to the epicentre so to speak and was a bit disappointed to see the note of “he must have done” “what made him act like that” etc. which seems to assign guilt to him without benefit of doubt.
I dont say he has done nothing, or otherwise for that matter, but it might be interesting for you to look at his initial interrogation by the Australian Federal Police here http://www.hindu.com/nic/0058/haneef.htm which IMO does not indicate any portrayal of “guilt”, and certainly not to the extent portrayed by the australian govt. and sensationalised by the media.
Also, the thing which is rarely mentioned in the media, is that the SIM card in question was given by him (this seems at this point to be the ONLY thing linking him to the alledged accused, apart from distant relationship) to sabeel more than a year ago, when he was leaving the UK.
Like I said, I would rather wait for further evidence before I make up my mind either way, but knwoing john howard, and the paranoia he loves to create as elections draw close, If i had to take a bet, I would probably say the only thing Haneef is guilty of is having the first name mohammed, being conveniently muslim, and trying to leave australia on a one way ticket instead of a return ticket ( and I can understand his situation since I have myself asked on at least 2 depressingly desperate occasions if my parents could send me a one way ticket as i was broke, out of a job and home sick).
Fortunately for me, those offers were never actually actioned, and so here I am – possibly better off, but who knows??!!
