@KRAIT looks like you have forgotten that NDA offered Ramadan ceasefire to terrorists in J&K:
BBC News | SOUTH ASIA | Kashmir ceasefire extended until May
Atleast UPA nevered offer ceasefire to militants.
@axisofevil We had a great opportunity when OBL was found in Pakistan. Entire world community could be taken at our side. But this idiot UPA and their Aman ki Asha, gave statements like Hindu terrorism and now this jehad** from India.
We are already paying price of Nehru and then Dalai Lama causing rift in Indo-China relations. I mean what's the point of giving refuge to Dalai Lama. It gave excuse for China and hence a setback for us.
@RISING SUN:
Beg to differ on your second point.Pakistan is a victim of terrorism for many years.But still it did not stop its non-state actors to spread terror in India.On the other hand we are still doing nothing on the growing disease called "wahabism".We don't know how deep it has been gone in our society.The government should awake now otherwise days of thunders are not far away,my friend.
ISI's mode of operation in India has changed for the last 12/13 years or so,specifically after 9/11.Instead of direct support to Kashmiri militants they are now concentrating more on the mainstream youths of India. If you look at Indian Mujahidin's case,these people are not illiterate,nor economically deprived.But ISI's foreign cell has been successful to convince these youths. The situation is not same as it was before.Mate you are indirectly agreeing with me if you don't know it. I didn't said that it stopped supporting and helping to Jihadis. And I fully agree that yes it's suffering from terror from very long time. But only in recent times(probably after 2005-08) terror has gone up many times compared to past situation. So now security agencies have to allocate more resources in containing them. So they are left with lesser resources to penetrate Indian defense umbrella. And this favors us. So we are safer in this condition than the opposite condition.
Modi was presented with a US Congressional record copy, congratulating him. How many Indian CMs got such an applause?
This is what happens when people of Uttar Pradesh vote for the super "secular" Samajwadi Party
Guys we must not let our own political inclinations cloud out judgment on every issue. Credit where credit is due, the UPA is bound to have done some good somewhere, in the same way you have to give MMS a lot of credit for the 2008 nuke deal.
Just to be the devil's advocate I must say that this could be a simple case of corroboration doesn't equal causation. The UPA might have just had a good term on this front because of factors out if their control ie Pakistan looking more toward the Western front and to their own domestic issues and not looking at creating problems in India.
Addtionally it has to be said that as the majority of terror-related deaths came out of Kashmir, as violence has reduced in the Valley thanks mostly to the IA, JK police and CAPFs, then the picture inherently looks much rosier for the UPA.
If one wants to be more critical you could say the most audacious terror attack carried out since 9/11 happened on the UPA's watch.
All in all though I'd say it is irrelevant who is in power, most GoI have been far, FAR too weak on the terror front and this is an area all subsequent Govts need to seriously address. Terrorism is a bi-partisan constant in India and it will be present no matter who is in power.
And regardless of what you guys think, IMHO MMS is one of the finest PMs India has had since its creation. He has shown exceptional wisdom and vision throughout his career even before he was PM. I think we'd struggle to find a Prime minister in India's history who has contributed more to his nation consistantly throughout their professional career. He has always carried himself in a proffesional manner and has been an excellent ambassador to India on the world stage.
I'm sure we can all agree that if he had not been born, India would be poorer for it.
If you say geopolitical conditions are responsible for peace in Kashmir one could say that Geo Political reasons are responsible for increased bomb blasts during 2005-2008 as ISI had to use terrorists groups in India as it was longer capable of supporting the so called Kashmir Jihad in a large manner.
BTW if we compare UPA-2 with NDA we will see that in 2000-2003 119 died in terror attacks outside J&K and NE compared to 81 in terror attacks between 2009-Feb 2013.
Poor Jawan has died making his poor widow richer and yet "Nationalist" Sanghis always moan about the supposed favoritism bequeathed to the select pampered citizens aka muslims...
