Balwinder, it is indeed unfortunate that you have been treated with such inconsideration, however I feel the attacks in Europe has been largely "forgotten" as well by the world. It is certainly not spoken of often. And that is a dangerous thing, I think. I would also like to offer you MY condolences, as I noticed that this attack has been treated as "low-key" as well by a numbed media and people when its repercussions assuredly are grave. Had I known any Indian people I would have done the same to them, and I don't even see myself as especially compassionate. It is clear that India is subject to much of the same terrors as Europe and The USA, and it is my belief that we'd do well to stand together in the face of this threat. I hope this illustrates that there are Europeans who are understanding of what has happened, and I am ashamed of those who disregard it. I hope you get whoever is behind this.

I was on a tour of France with my Americans when this attack took place in Mumbai. The reaction of one of my guests was" why is CNN only covering this? Only 200 people died". I was shocked and told her it was like 9/11 and she said "oh! but 3,000 Americans were kikked!" I was too shocked to comment on this as in fact it reflects the opion of many Americans and Europeans too! not one of my colleagues who all know I am Indian even offered condolences. So now another attack in India is going to be forgotton if not already done by the International community. We in India have been suffering such attacks constantly in India and Kasmir and except for the Soviets no country even looked onto the Kashmir issue! we are under attack since 1947 by terrorists! will more people have to die before action is taken?

i had held the banner reading "All the HARDLINER political parties"; here the stress was on d religion-based parties n not on all d political parties. as these hardliners had severely criticised our martyr 'hemant karkare' for malegaon blast investigation n he had to lay down his life to prove his integrity towads his job n countrymen. let there b no political interference into the work of r forces n investigating agencies atleast in matters of national security. however at the same time i also appriciate the hardwork put in by reporters like leela jacento into the hour of crisis by patiently listening to the aggitated people around. we indian pray for relatives who lost their dear ones including d relatives of the young terrorists killed;who unfortunately failed to incorporate the supremacy of love n peace into the hearts of these young lads. god bless their souls.let the world come together by solving problems with alms n not with arms.-yuvraj korpe.

I have been to the taj hotel it is a very large hotel with many openings and exits. It would be extremely difficult to clear out hostages and take out terrorists.

The Mumbai police and commandos are true Heroes!

There have been lots of terrorst attacks 9/11,Jaipur, Bomabay etc and now 26/11 one of the worst happennongs in the whole history of Mumbai and India.
We know quite well that Muslims have been heavily involved, brainwashed , propulsed by International Muslim groups to perpetrate such actions all over the place to create havoc , destruction and demoralisation to peace loving people and citizens whereevr they may be and this in the beloved name of Allah! !
Now the militants who have been killed and one who has been captured alive, has confessed he has links with Pakistan and no doubt that the well planned movement from the trainers and their involvement had been prepared well in advance . The number of heavy geared weapons and guns , artillery cannot come from a small group of rascals , miscreants who just wanted to have some fun. They are Muslims and have emanated from Pakistan who now is on the forefront to try and say they are not aware and involved in whatever way .
These militants being brainwashed were claiming to be from Deccan Muhajedeen or what , a pure invention from the Authorities who guided them through to mislead the world .
No stone to be left unturned and those involved severely dealt with once demythtified. Innocent lives again lost at the detriment of God!!! The authorities in India also have been lax with the invasion of Mubai by what 10-20-40 terrorists?? They should be more concerned and India as a whole should work together to avoid such things happening.

please print my comments you are printing others why not mine do you not belive in freedom of the press are freedom of speach i personal went to a war for this FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT / FREEDOM OF SPEECH ALL OF THESE RELIGIOS ARE ALLOW TO STAD ON THEIR SOAP BOXES AND SAY JUST WHAT THEY WISH I PERSONAL HAVE NO RELIGION IT CAUSES TO MUCH TROUBLE IN THIS WORLD LOOK AROUND YOUR SELF I DONT KNOW WERE I CAME FORM I DONT KNOW WERE I AM GOING

This is time that the muslim need to change all the way of their thinking:

I read other comment and article, and i felt the need to write a comment and share it with you in this site, I hope it is not arrogante:

---
And i mean it, Every one.
First i am sending my sincer condoleances to all humanity.
second: why we all need to change the way of thinking it is because 143 killed, arround 400 or more injured and the start of this masacre are:

1- islamist group, not proved yet likely will be
2- 2 Giant countries if they don't use wisdome can clash and it will be a new disaster
3- The importantes people who been killed arround 17 (UK, USA, French, Israeli Etc

and the rest who are human maybe most of them are Indian arab, muslim do not count.

and that is why i think every one need to change the way of thinking.

We the human are all under attack and we do not know for sure who is behind it, we speculate.

again my sincers condoleances to the humanity.

Best regard

On Thursday, one of the gunmen holed up in the Trident-Oberoi hotel told the India TV channel by phone that they wanted an end to the persecution of Indian Muslims and the release of all fellow Islamic militants detained in India.
This is a quote from the news on Thursday --- The terrorists are saying that there is a persecution(!) of Indian Muslims and wanted a release of all fellow Islamic militants detained in India.
These militants, as they say, are their fellow men. Therefore all of the same feather: terrorists.
Why in the first place were they being detained ? Are they being persecuted or guilty of terror attacks or simply connected with just to blow up India? These present terror attacks have been well planned and have tried to disseminate their attacks in the whole city targeting prominent places such as the Taj , Oberoi, VT station etc. They wanted to blow the airport too. This means that this orchestrated movement has been propulsed from fertile minds to kill innocent lives and who are those who have supplied these grenades, explosive weapons, guns, and what other arsenal intended to create chaos and havoc.
Whosoever are behind this must be laughing seeing their sick motives being actioned. These youths do not value human life as they themselves have been killed in the encounter. This means that if they do not respect their own lives how can they respect others'.
Whatever terrorist is left and caught should be dealt with severely and all those connected with such crimes should have the utmost sentence without any pity shown to them

Beside the Kashmir conflict, India has been under a perennial religious,tribal and economical bloody conflicts, seldom relayed in the western media. We had a massive attacks on Muslims,Christian and poor farmers, from Indou extremist and mercenaries paid by industrial interests needeing cheap lands for industrialisation, almost on daily basis.
I opine, that there is no need to blame oustsiders for the Bombay tragedy, too many peoples within India, are pushed daily to the limits of acceptable conditions, that generates a bloody reactions, such as the world is witnessing today!!!

Several world leaders you report have condemed these attacks by this group of murderous criminals.
Why haven't we seen reports of condemnation by muslim leaders? Surely they should be outraged that these gangsters are carrying out acts of murder[a crime in any religion] in the name of their religion.

Mumabi is now a dead trap for foreigners, I am in Mumbai now and has been a nightmare to the inhabitants of this surbord, I suggest that the global village should aid the Indian forces to control this situation as many foreigners are still traped in some of the attacked hotels.
