The occurance of bomb blasts in the Indian cities have become common now-a-days, but still shocks us. It shows us that we are vulnerable. The latest in the hit-list being the capital city. The infiltration seems to be very deep. And their networks seem quite impregnable. From the recnt reports they are quite tech savvy as to hack Wi-Fi networks to remain untraceable.
So what exactly happens by these blasts? It kills innocent people, who have nothing to do with whatever is the demands / grievances of the terrorists. It serves as fodder to those politicians not in power to blame those in power, not that they would have done a better job. They are just happy that they are not in power now, but hope to capitalise on this. After all it is the same machinery that is at their disposal.
Why these blasts? In my opinion they don't have the military strength to take India heads on. India would certainly crush them in a matter of hours. They don't seem to have the support of the people either. But still they fight for their ideals, their ideologies. But we are forced to fight a war that is not ours. So it is an effort to terrorise the minds of the people and say that the government is impotent and incapable of protecting them. But the terror merchants should also understand that India is too big a nation to be torn to pieces with their bombs.
Their is an economy angle to the blasts. The blasts are yet to hit ant industrial establishments. As of now they are contained to hiting civilian areas. The foreign counteries may be apprehensive to send their experts to India. But India has no dearth for experts, and more experts can be made here. We have the best of educational institutions here. Investments will not drop drastically. As long as India handles other economic barriers like inflation and marches on its growth path, the investments are likely to sustain.
Tourism may be hit. Already the Autralian cricket team is speculated to drop the tour. But they do it all the time. Remember the cricket world cup 1996. In the western minds India is still a place where the nail bed trick and the rope trick are being effected. For such a colored mind the blasts could look larger than it really is. It would be difficult to instill confidence in their minds by any preventive / protective measures. The only thing that would convince them would be the reduced frequency of blasts and even better a complete end of these blasts, which is quite a non probility.
