Desicritics Comments on India's Response To Terrorism - Are We Losing The War?

Consider it a bollywood malaise - where kidnappers, ransomers, crooks, militants, jehadis and terrorists are shown having comedic value, nay, they are sold to us as lovable goof-balls, lover boys with complete item song sequences, wronged by society, who are only humans struggling to fix the oppressive world, may be in a bit misguided way, but their hearts are tender and pure, like true-blooded lover boys that are staple of heros and heroines in bollywood fare. So I am not surprised if so many people, like in this thread, would like to hug their terrorists. Have you hugged the terrorist lately?

Rohan, Unlike you, the perfect person, I accept myself warts and all, so unlike the regular folks you despise, I am not at immune to flattery and even the occasional sycophancy. That might indeed be my goal in life: to be surrounded by sycophants. Glad to know that unlike me, you are totally perfect. Perhaps a halo over your head, or is that imagery a wee bit too christian for your taste? Since I am not into useless drivel, as opposed to useful drivel, I suggest you focus on boosting Ruvy up a bit. Dog knows, he needs it.

Well CS, thankfully for me i don't care what people think of me. I don't rely on sycophants to boost my self image. That is a communist pursuit. Nor do i try to drown out others opinions.

Rohan: ""CS you should change your name to Court Jester since you are not entirely useless and do provide some comic relief at times"" Rohan, in all seriousness, I really have a very low opinion of your sense of humour if you really get any comic relief from my silly posts. Your humour department is probably in need of major repairs.

Rohan, Thanks for the suggestion. I have a feeling, but not entirely sure about this at this point of time, that your kind suggestion may not work. Court Jester = CJ Commonsense = CS Perhaps in my next life? Thanks, though, for your thoughtful thought. On second thought though, since you are big on permanent identities, and I don't agree, I think I will continue with CS, at least for a while. Hope you don't mind. Don't take it personally.

CS you should change your name to Court Jester since you are not entirely useless and do provide some comic relief at times, though you donot have any constructive contributions. All i've seen from you is deconstructing anothers comment and but not a rebuttal only evasive humour.

MS:CS ""Dynamism is always better then remaining idle."" So you'd rather that terrorist be dynamic with their dynamite? I'd prefer them to remain idle, unemployed, even non-existent. ""I am surprised why you get nervous the moment anybody talks about any action to protest terror attacks?"" Perhaps I need to grow a spine....one day... ""If I call to beat them back , you get nervous. If Rohan proposed even a day off to create awareness among masses , you get loose motion?"" That's not true. I went one step ahead and suggested a day and half of protests. Please don't malign me as I have no reputation worthy of protection. You are wasting your time....could be fighting dacoits. ""care just 0.1% of that to your motherland, terrorists will run away immdeiately. They are able to attack only due to their local supporters and helpers."" Very interesting. I tried it out in the privacy of my own home, and yes, they did run away immediately. Do have to continue carrying 0.1% everyday or is it just on the weekends?

CS Dynamism is always better then remaining idle. Only those will oppose action againtb terrorists who associate with terrorists dierctly or indirectly. I am surprised why you get nervous the moment anybody talks about any action to protest terror attacks? If I call to beat them back , you get nervous. If Rohan proposed even a day off to create awareness among masses , you get loose motion? Why do you care so much for terrorists CS? care just 0.1% of that to your motherland, terrorists will run away immdeiately. They are able to attack only due to their local supporters and helpers.

MS: ""a day's off as protest is a good start."" maybe a day and a half actually. please don't forget to set aside at least a few hours for burning the buses and looting public as well as private property. otherwise, what's so fun about a protest?

I don't think we are losing it exactly- we lost it in 1947 when the Kashmir question went unresolved. It is time for India to just take a firm stand on this matter and be rid of it once and for all. Either we say enough is enough and get Kashmir back or be the peaceworker that we project ourselves to be and just deliver Kashmir to Pakistan. Then if there are blasts, we know they were not because of this reason!

Rohan # 41 Nice idea. Pretty fresh and out of Box. Yes youth of India has to do something to challenge these enemies of humanity. a day's off as protest is a good start.

If the Govt. of India advocates Gandhian ways so much, the Indian people should give this govt exactly that! A country wide Non-cooperation movement. Let all skilled professionals call a Day off work, just one day but coordinated with everyone and let the economy stagnate. The skilled population is mostly Hindu. Let them issue an ultimatum to this Govt to get serious about tackling Islamists and stop playing their votebank divisive politics. They will come in line very soon when they realise that the very people who make them who they are can break them too. They cannot force people to work.

Man Singh: ""CS, Please come up with realistic ideas how to deal with menance of Jehadi terror India is suffering from..." OK, Man, one more attempt. After a global competition for solutions to the problem of terrorism, I am happy to announce that we have a winner. And happier to announce that you would agree with the solution!! Top prize for the most "realistic solution" goes to Ledzius!!! (drumroll and hyterical clapping!!) And his number one "realistic solution" to this problem is: Ledzius: ""In fact, a fair amount of extra judicial killings is probably needed, and this is the only way Sikh terrorism got taken care of. We have a good precedent here."" Congratulations to all who sent in their winning entries. Tough luck to those who were naive enough to talk of building bridges instead of dams.

If the Central Govt. of India is useless against the terrorists, it's high time everyone stopped paying taxes so the politicians can afford Z class security, stand behind well trained Black Cat commandos with fancy weapons paid for by the Indian public and "condemn violence and appeal for peace and calm" from the unsecure average citizens after the people have been brutalised, repeatedly. It is unfair to say the least to expect such divine forgiveness from people when you yourself are not in the same position and hide behind commandos. That tax money would be better utilised buying guns for oneself by the public and they can exact their own justice. It's easy to be Gandhian when you are a national leader with security cover rather than a commoner like the Hindus caught behind enemy lines during the partition. Gandhi would ask them to quietly walk to their slaughter so he could satisfy his "Ahimsa" ego!

Man Singh: ""CS, Please come up with realistic ideas how to deal with menance of Jehadi terror India is suffering from since 713 AD ir invasion of Mohammed Bin Qassim along with communist(naxal) terror of recent origin"" OK! 1. Invite all of them to a feast, and feed them some halva sohan laced with diahhorea inducing seeds. They will be incabable of any further shit with your motherland, busy as they will be with the real shit. 2. Collate all the posts you have contributed so far on DC. Add Ruvy's posts and Gill's too, for that extra punch. Herd them jecommies together. Not difficult since they are in a numerical minority. Force them to read everything that you and your friends have written. They will be tranformed. 3. Herd all of them jecommies in a camp. Make them read all of the posts that I have contributed. They will be laughing hysterically. As for your last question: ""why are you making a monkey of yourself"" Why not? What do you have against monkey? Why must you insult them by comparing them to me?? Have you taken leave of plain commonsense now?

CS #35 nobody is asking who's who here? Please come up with realistic ideas how to deal with menance of Jehadi terror India is suffering from since 713 AD ir invasion of Mohammed Bin Qassim along with communist(naxal) terror of recent origin. why are you making a monkey of yourself by writing definitions here. Are you exhausted with all ideas? I wonder why DC editors are silent now when `personal attacks' has become the only motive for some of the respondents here.
