What I would like to know is where was Raj Thackeray and his "Marathi manoos" who did not even turn out to show solidarity with "his Mumbai". They were as conspicuous in their absence as was the presence of the brave Indians who came from other parts of India to fight the terrorists! Raj Thackeray did not even bother to show his face!All kudos to the police, army, NSG, ATS, fire crews and everyone else who pitched in to help so selflessly. Our thoughts are with the families of the deceased. I hope this will unite us as a country. We must not forget that we are Indians first, regardless of community, state, class or caste.

It is high time india give an ultmatum to pak. Close all terroist camps hand over this terrorists including osama and dawood in 10 days. If you cant then let indian army walk through pakisthan clear all this terrorists camps . IMF should not give loan to pakisthan till they do this. Visit by thier ISI chief will only facilitate more terror as everybodyknows it is the ISI which supports and run this camp.

i think we're going a little overboard to send millitary forces into pakistan to 'flush' out terrorist.it is a serious blow to the integrity of a country,and even more because it is our neighbour.a hundred years back they were 'our' people.another aspect is that india as a country is not a solitary state.we are accountable to the world atleast in terms of manner as these.such is the status of our country.rather than cracking the whip on pakistan,we should focus on our intelligence,security and networking.of course, the denial of pakistan's involvement is just short of humour.In these times,should we not introspect?Men with hearts died because 'we' didn't have information.blaming the govt.-of the people,by the people,for the people is ridiculous.we,the people of india,must remain alert.saying this is much more easy than it seems.a couple of weeks from now,when the euphoria and surprise has died,we'll be back to our normal selfish way of life-me and my work.

Indian armed forced always got a raw deal from Indian political establishment. Congress is the main culprit. They handed back Lahore and a big part of Pakistan which Indian army captured in 50s war while Pakistan never gave Indian Territory (POK and Aksai China) back even when they promised. Pakistan never fulfils any promise they make when they are defeated and always use this deceiving tactics to fool Indian politicians (may be money and/or personal image is involved here for Indian policy makers, as was the case of Jawaharlal Nehru). As a result we regularly loose our brave soldiers and innocent citizens by the proxy war by Pakistan and deny a convincing victory over Pakistan and Islamic terrorists. It will not be different this time either.

INDIA HITS BACK TO WHOM? A HANDFUL OF TERRORISTS? OR PIRATES INA A BOAT? IT IS SHAMEFUL ALREADY THAT THIS KINK OF INSTANCES KEEP HAPPENING AND NOT KNOWING HOW TO PREVENT THEM. MUST GET TRAINING FROM AMERICA HOW TO DEAL WITH THEM, WHO HAS NOT ON INCIDENT AFTER 9/11. INSTEAD OF BEING ASHAMED OF, WE THING IT IS BRAVERY TO KILL A HANDFUL PEOPLE WITH ARMY OF A NATION.

Media,You have a powerful role in this situation. The most important one would be to boycott the politicians.......We have seen again and again that they are useless. In fact, they are a road block in the growth and security of the country. Please do not cover any politicians or political dramas.

Let us Indians( irrespective of religion, caste etc.) face the facts. The terror attack was more than successful. A lot of lives were lost. Many families lost their dear ones for ever. Taj and Oberoi Tridant will get repaired and painted. But the lives are devasted for ever.The terroristes did what they possibly could. So did our elite NSG and ATF and assiciates (including the medical staff) as a retaliation. If we do not accept defeat we will never be victorious. And blaming muslims or Pakistan alone (everytime) does not free us from the reality. let us look around ourselves and into ourselves. So much corruption, abuse of power and greed is foating everywere. And not to forget HATRED and JEALOUSY. There are so many factors. Religion has become the easiest blame game of all. I am writing today about the aftermath what i witnessed from a virtual distance. And i am alive. Tomorrow i may be blown up somewhere like this. My body lying in some hospital waiting to be identified.

GPRS tracking to the origin has been established and our intelligence know well these cowards are hidden. Strick them with full force. We have to do atleast this for our loved onces who lost their lives. How long are we going to live in terror. How long are you going to blam the Indians who belive in Islam. Stop your politics and lets face it together.

It is a shame that Dawood and his cohorts have not been brought to justice. The BJP govt when in power made a push for his extradition. Congress as usual never did anything about it for the last 5, yes 5 full, years. This government is the most spineless, soft government ever, one that has shirked its duty to protect its citizens. Shame, shame, shame

I SEND MY PERSONAL THANKS TO THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR NOT BOWING DOWN TO THE DEMAND OF THE TERRORISTS TO FREE THEIR INMATES FROM JAIL. YOU HAVE ACTED PROMTLY UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS BJP GOVERNMENT, WHICH FREED AND ESCORTED TOP ISLAMIC TERRORISTS TO KANDAHAR WITH TRUCK LOAD OF INDIAN MONEY.

I salute our soldiers for a commendable job under unusually difficult circumstances. Our deepest condolences to those who died while defending the nation. Since Indian intelligence has failed, the army should enhance its own intelligencestructure to be proactive in defending the nation without loss of life.

If India is to really hit back, then we should kill all terrorists, doesnt matter if we have to go after them, hunting them in their hideout, doesnt matter where they are in the world.Chun chun kar marna chahiye and take revenge of all the blood that has been spilt.Give them a strong taste of their medicine, such that they will not dare anytime to do such a act.

It is nice to hear the world add their two bit lip service to the tragedy in Mumbai, but India has lost 17 brave soldiers, besides all the innocent indians and foreigners. I feel it is about time the world started focusing its attention on Pakistan, because all the 9/11, 7/7 and 27/11 attacks has its origin in Pakistan. Pakistan is a failed state and has no control over all the terrorists that it has trained officially and unofficially. It is an asian 'Somali'. Yet the IMF gives it a loan to help Pakistan carry on arming its terrorists. The very fact that Pakistan has already gone into its denial mode and pretensions that they have a well disciplined society explains it all. Besides being jealous of the progress made by India in all spheres, the Pakistanis also realise that Kashmir is not revolting and not interested in joining Pakistan.

Great work done by our NSG, MARCOS. But our f... ing media is negative when it comes to report. Report... India won,,, mumbai won... Why do the tell people about the damage, loss of property, etc... We can rebuild taj by giving them tax concessions... but the saga was over. Not like the IC hijack.. Now lets deal with the pakis by total embargo on all kinds of communication, travel, trade, let us kill the pakistani muslims. Also check all activities of indian muslims, links with gulf money in illegal activities. Also check the money launderers of india, who use gulf states to launder money. Check the illegal oil trade on high seas,

Dear Javed Akhtar,Shaban Azmi,Mahesh butt .here is a chace to show your Humantiy. Please go ahead and give interviews in TV on the right of the terrorist captured ,arrange him legal assistance,keep vigil for all the terrorists killed arrange a party or concert of Bollyoood stars to raise money .Go ahead and show you care

Is it wise to involve Pakistan Govt. in the investigations at this juncture? It is common knowledge that they have no control over their western regions, militant organizations and their training camps, ISI, military establishment. They are as helpless and clueless as our own agencies. As happened in other bomb blast cases, nothing would come out of this. Only difference this time is that elitist society is also affected. While the man on the street has no protection, more protection will be provided for the VIPs, their kith and ken at state expense.

I am willing to donate 100 night vision goggles to our brave NSG commandos for future use. I don't think they had it and it could have made their jobs easier. Valgha India

Great work by Indian Security Apparatus. When the world was watching with bated breath they went about their task at hand with utmost caution and bravery. I salute the brave men and women who put their lives in the line of fire. I pray for the families of those who died in the attack. May peace be on their souls. The group responsible for this attack wants to destabilize the relations between India, Pakistan and US. Since they saw that Zardari was warming up to India, and finally a premier was actually extending a hand of friendship and meant it, was creating flutters in the Pakistani military and ISI. Since everyone knows that the Pak controls the ISI and they inturn control the various terror elements, its easy to fathom that ultimately it might be the Pak army behind this attack, with or without the permission of their civilian govt. Pak govt

A SALUTE and the best HONOUR TO our COMMANDOES, NAU JAWANS AND CIVILIANS, who took the rascal terrorists to task and sent them to their PIGLAND where they really belong, because of their horrofic deeds against the civilised people.The terrorists are pathetic people, who does not like any creation of God, but they use his name to justify their coward acts.Those rascals, who murdered our Hemant Karkare and other bright soldiers, and civilians will never be forgiven by the entire world.This attack on India is not only an attack on us, but a attack on the world. All those who took part to fight the terrorists not only have the appreciation from me, but from the entire world.

The entire nation is proud of brave sons of India who fought the War against India especially of those who lost their lives in saving the nation including NSG, Army and Police personnel. Thank you all. We shall always miss you all. At this time of crisis we must refrain from issuing political statements.

Will the regional-linguistic fanatic Raj Takeray and his clan finally realise that Mumbai's name and lives of innocent citizens had to be saved by NSG

Where are the 49 people who were trained at Bhosle Military training school for Lt. colonel Prohit who is implicated in Malegoan and Samjhauta express bombing. The killing of ATS chief and his men points finger towards these people. After all ATS chief was continuously getting death threats. The investigating agencies should also check on these connections as well instead of pointing fingers across the country.

Firstly SALUTE

We should appreciate the media to get details of mastermind and all of them to be get proper punishment, which they taken the interest shown to expose MALEGAON case, which lead this terrorist attack in Mumbai.

where are the brave people who talk about terrorism on the TV screen just for their political gain... it was the real time for them to show their bravery to kill the culprits who were involved in this attack.. as everyone says that we are used to it and we will definitely forget about this attack in week time or so... every time the innocent people die in such attacks whether it is hindu or mulims all of them who died in this attack were indians............ its the time for indian people to get united against terrorism specially muslims why every time muslims think that this is the war against muslims everyone today know that there is no religion of terrorism, find out the people among us who may be involved in further planning to attack our nation...the terrorists can tell a lot of reasons about the babri masjid and gujrat and kashmir and so on ............ but there are other ways to protest ... terrorism will only bring terrorism.
