The rest would require broader attention and realization of the country as whole for overcoming ideological and political and vote-bank compulsions. National Security cannot be made a part of political ideology and historical day-dreaming of unity of the people. Jihad can be fought with actual understanding of the harsh realities and not on the basis of mantras like “ostrich-secularism.” Indian States (provinces) are not prepared with trained, equipped and motivated and dedicated Intelligence Wings that can take care of jihadi thrusts. Police Intelligence is simply out of date and not tuned to tackle jihadi and terrorist thrusts. The Central Intelligence Bureau can perform well. Their abnormal deficiency has occurred because the governments have failed to give more trained, equipped and motivated manpower to the IB. A Security Assistant in IB is equated with a dak delivery peon, process server and daftary, so is the police constable. Why would a process server risk his life for fighting terrorism? How can the citizenry expect protection from a daftary? The nation should not expect best out of a force that is treated by 150 year old civil administration as chaprasis. ... Political color of the government decide attitude of enforcing agencies to jihadist organizations and situations. A Chief Minister in UP decides in his wisdom that SIMI is not a terrorist organization, though the Supreme Court has told SIMI, “You are a terrorist organization.” ..Political color should not affect war against jihad and terrorism. Hindu resilience should not be taken for granted. The madrasas, maktabs and certain schools teach hate-campaign. This is required to be monitored and corrective measures are required to be taken. A section of Muslims in India have been infected by jihadi ideology. This is being exploited by Pakistan. Minority pampering is not the answer. The community leaders must be sensitized that rooting of jihadism may harm them in the long run. India requires something like Homeland Security Act and ancillary administrative, intelligence and investigation agencies. Today even POTA is not enough. Indian political breed should stop thinking in terms of Hindu-Muslim relationship as it existed between the times of Sir Sayid Ahmad and M. A. Jinnah. If we cannot respond as one nation and one people and at the slightest allegation that only Muslims are being targeted in the name of anti-terrorist actions, India cannot avoid looming greater catastrophe. The damn truth is: what is happening in India is not terrorism. It is jihadist action directed at dividing India. Is India prepared to face the facts that the international jihadists and subverted Indian Muslims are trying to impose jihad as the final acts of redemption of Islamic glory that once ruled India? If that be so, let us compose a requiem to Motherland India.</i> Excerpts from the concluding lines from India in Slumber by Sh Maloy K Dhar, ex Chief of Intelligence Bureau:

That is not true. if that were the case minorities Hindus/Christians and Hindus in Kashmir would be the first to pick up a gun. Not minorities in India with its article 30. Perhaps you should look at the ideology as a source of inspiration for violence and hatred against the Kaffir/Pagan/Heathen. So called Maoists are hand in glove with Christian Missionaries, read about Swami Laxmananana's murder. @Atul,

But do we solve those grievances through guns and bomb blasts, or through other means? And do we continue to tolerate the violent methods and keep justifying them by citing disaffection? ^ Atul, the issue is not of disaffection – no one among us will deny that disaffection and grievances exist.
