Sohrabuddin: UPA's Ace in the Hole!!!

Although I am loathe to the idea of giving a link to another blog for information, but when the blog belongs to the intrepid and inimitable Kanchan Gupta, all bets are off.
He has unearthed a document clearly depicting Sohrabuddin the man. This is the terrorist who has become the cause-celebre for the likes of the despicable Teesta Setalvad who would stoop to any disgusting levels to bring down the only functional state government in the entire union. Of course for the Congress, the likes of Amin bring a god-sent opportunity to divert the national attention from the litany of problems facing the entire union. I hope the Indian populace sees through this transparent charade and rejects it with extreme prejudice.
My question to the readers is: What would you do to the man who guns down (let's say) Dawood Ibrahim? Do you punish him for human rights's violation or do you reward him for saving the tax payer millions of Rupees for the eventual court cases?

"Sohrabbuddin was not an ordinary criminal as projected by the petitioner in the alleged encounter case. Sohrabuddin had spread his tentacles in four states viz. Gujarat, Rajasthan, MP and Maharashtra. He was working in tandem with mafia dons like late Abdul Latif and Daud Ibrahim. With the active support of Dawood Ibrahim, Rasul Parti, and Mammumiya Panjumia, he was continuously smuggling in dangerous weapons and other contraband from Pakistan. In one case alone, detected by the DCB crime branch of Ahmedabad, 24 AK-56 rifles, 27 Hand grenades, 5250 cartridges and 81 magazines were recovered from one of his family owned property in Madhya Pradesh. "

PM's paradox: in power because he's weak

No wonder the UPA is opening up the old Congress bag of dirty tricks and targeting the Gujarat govt. to divert the national attention from a very large number of huge problems. Will it work? We can all pray that it does not because it is time that these guys stood up and took responsibility for the sorry state of affairs. Everyone keeps talking about Dr. Singh's honesty and integrity. Well then he should become in charge of the treasury or bringing the Indian black money back from Swiss banks. To be in the PM's seat, honesty and integrity are necessary but not the only criteria. This man does not offer any kind of leadership or inspires anyone around him. All he is doing is keeping the seat warm for the Crown Prince Rahul.


"Call it the Manmohan Singh paradox: the strength of his coalition depends largely upon on how weak he is as Prime Minister. The glue holds because he has no power over his partners. One minister is caught with his hands in the telecom till and shrugs off accusation with impunity; a second has no time for Cabinet meetings; a third dismisses a portfolio as people-centric as railways with the throwaway line that it does not represent her true identity. All the Prime Minister can do is smile and carry on. The smile is wearing thin."

The Worst Kept Secret

The 92,000 American classified military documents/reports released by WikiLeaks which were published in coordination with the New York Times, Britain.'s Guardian newspaper, and Germany's Der Spiegel add to the evidence that Pakistan's ISI is behind all terrible terrorist activities.

"This raises the question: Who covered up a scandalous arrangement known to everyone with a casual acquaintance of the situation? The answer is the same as in Agatha Christie's 1934 mystery about murder on the Orient Express, that is, everybody: former United States president George W Bush and vice president Dick Cheney, current US President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, India, China and Iran. They are all terrified of facing a failed state with nuclear weapons, and prefer a functioning but treacherous one."

Need I say more about our Economist Congress Lead UPA PM, Dr. Manmohan Singh.

"India does not want America to call Pakistan to account. In the worst case, Pakistan might choose to support the Taliban and other terrorist organizations - including Kashmiri irredentists - openly rather than covertly. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, of whom the Economist on July 25 wrote "the strength of his coalition depends largely on how weak he is as Prime Minister", does not want to confront Pakistan. If Pakistan's support for anti-Indian terrorism became undeniable, India would have to act, and action is the last thing the Congress party-led coalition in New Delhi wants to consider."

Murder on the Khyber Pass express

Muslim Attitudes and Indian Society

Muslim community in India has sensed that the present UPA government and the present Prime Minister are their best bet to extract political concessions from Indian government and society. To add to the sense of “awakening”, as veteran spokesman of the community puts it in his talk to Association of Indian Muslims in USA, BJP appears to be in a decline that does not look like reversing in foreseeable future.

There is something really ugly about the Muslim community in India demanding concessions such as reservations in educational institutions and jobs. I had to think why it arouses such unpleasant feeling in us, when we see such political aggression amongst Muslims, as Muslims (and not as individuals in other ideological groupings).

I listed the sources of unpleasantness as follows:

1. This community partitioned India saying they won't live “under” Hindus. They claimed they are a separate nationality and they cannot be part of a Hindu majority society.

The demand for welfare now, from the same “Hindu” state is not just incongruous. It tantamounts to making an effort to achieve political supremacy over Hindus. Anyone who has read Islamic texts, knows how deep rooted is Muslim desire to claim that they have, they deserve a superior status over kaffirs. A typical Hindu like me sees echos of the same mentality in the desire for reservations now.

2. The community, the mainstream of it, never apologized for partition, let alone make amends. Conceding Ram Janambhoomi temple would have been an opportunity but the supremacist mind cannot let go of an inch. Remember Duryodhan's famous reply to Pandava's demand ? Sui ki nok barabar bhi jameen nahin milegi.

3. Reservations per se are abhorrent to a middle class Indian like me. Reservations started for former untouchables since they were treated worse than animals by our ancestors. Here, by the way, is an example of how a remorseful community seeks to make amends for it's ancestors wrongdoings. I suppose we have to just forget that Muslims will ever even think of it.

But coming back, reservations were for Dalits because of the way they were treated by Hindus in centuries gone by. How are they justified for other castes, let alone Muslims ? The OBCs did not suffer the same kind of discrimination. The Muslims were ruling classes in most parts of the country.

There is no ethical justification for either OBC reservations or Muslims. It is purely the political power they posses, that is being used to extract concessions wrongfully. It is an injustice being institutionalized. Every injustice harms society in the long term. Hence the feeling of unpleasantness for every patriotic Indian.

4. In no Muslim majority geography, do non-Muslims have equal rights to Muslims. Let alone any special privileges such as reservations. In Muslim majority lands, forget human rights, basic security of life and dignity is taken away with impunity. Pakistan cleansed out all Hindus. Bangladesh has taken the process much forward. Our own Kashmir valley has been cleansed of Pandits. But in Hindu majority India, not only should we give all human rights and political rights, but now also special privileges.

I wrote all the above to pinpoint why it is such a revolting sight to see Syed Shahabuddin (or any Muslim for that matter), belligerently demanding reservations – the slogan in West Bengal, proudly informed by Shahabuddin is: No reservations for us, no votes from us !!

I think all right thinking Hindus and indeed all non-Muslims should give up any hope that Muslims will abandon that burning, seething desire for supremacism. Islam never progressed on any great theological logic, any demonstrated conceptual or spiritual superiority over other religions. Islam's justification always was – if we and our God is wrong and your religion is right, then why the hell am I able to kill you with impunity. Why do I have power to sell you as cattle in market place. Why do I take away your women at will to do what I please with them.

Take away the power to do all this, the justification that Islam gave for itself disappears.

That is the cause of all the rage in Muslims. That is why there is this burning desire to do something to establish political superiority. A terror attack that goes unpunished, a mosque at the site of terror attack, ethnic cleansing whenever possible, and so on.

This is what explains our feeling of revulsion when we see Shahabuddin and such like smelling another political triumph in the form of reservations for Muslims in India.

The issue is under review by a constitutional bench. The constitution bars reservations on the basis of religion. We only hope that the judges stick to the spirit of the constitution.

Or else, Hindus too are capable of rage ! It may erupt sometime in the form of another Gujarat.

God’s Own Country or Allah’s??

God’s Own Country or Allah’s Own Country. My heart aches when I say that about a state which has produced Sanskrit scholar and a theologian of Hinduism like Jagadguru Shankaracharya and saint like Narayana Guru. It is pathetic as to how a state with such rich cultural heritage; colourful dance forms such as Kathakali, Krishnattam and Mohiniattam; martial art form known as "kalaripayattu” and a state known for its ayurvedic treatment has become a safe haven for Islamic Jihadist. Some months back when Amitabh Bachan while shooting in Kerala volunteered to become the brand ambassador of the state after getting impressed by its scenic beauty, the communist CPI (M) lead LDF ministers refused to take the offer. The reason they gave was that Amitabh Bachan was already the brand ambassador of Gujarat the communal BJP Government of Narendra Modi. Now, which sane person would agree to become the brand ambassador of Kerala other than some famous terrorist like Hafiz Saeed, Mullah Omer or Bin Laden? Talibanisation of Kerala dates back to the famous Moplah or Malabar rebellion of 1921 when over 10,000 Hindus were brutally maccered in the shadow of Khilifat movement. It was an Islamic religious revivalism among the Muslim hostility towards the Hindu Nair landlords. Kannur district in Kerala also happens to be the nurturing ground and think tank of the communist movement in Kerala. The Islamist Popular Front of India (formerly NDF) party conveniently calls Moplah rebellion a freedom struggle and has been conducting freedom parades on the 15th of August each year. Even after all that is unfolding in the state, the Kerala CPI(M)Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said in Delhi that a decision on banning the Popular Front would be taken only after confirming whether it had any relations with outlawed Islamist outfit SIMI. Even though the writing was on the wall, sadly and unfortunately nobody could see through the natural similarities or commonalties between the communist and islamist alliance in Kerala. Both viciously opposed capitalism and branded it feudal, imperial and so on. Both thrive on persecution and victimhood, so conveniently formed the Marxist & Mullah Nexus. The pseudo secular Hindus and communist Hindus were not only naive but also stupid and short sighted. The communist Hindus blindly followed the Karl Marks diktat "Religion is the opiate of the masses" and conveniently ignored that Karl Marks diktat while aligning with the fanatically religious Islamic parties to indulged in vote bank politics for political mileage. The opposition party and the Congress led UDF which is blaming the LDF now is also to be blamed for such un-holy alliance with Islamic parties.
Ironically our first Congress PM, another famous socialist, Jawaharlal Nehru had said; “The way the Communists are functioning in India is a mere adventurism - no constructive ability, no reality of purpose.”

Whatever!!!! The communists and socialists adventurism is today costing the country dearly.

Malegaon Cow Slaughter: A Deliberate Provocation?

It seems that in Malegaon / Nasik area around 25 cows were slaughtered and their body parts were thrown around. Needless to say the intention behind this were evil and malicious especially since Ekadashi is being celebrated in the state of Maharashtra. Now we all know that it does not take a whole lot of incitement to start a riot in India. This is an extreme kind of provocation. Last time a fight was provoked in Godhra. I do now know who started what but more than fifty kar-sevaks were burnt alive. The aftermath was a whole lot worse (around 1500 Muslims and 750 Hindus were killed). I really hope that the police acts swiftly instead of offering idiotic explanations like the cow suffocated when it is clear that the defenseless animals were cut open and hacked.

Hypocrisy & Muslim Leaders

Indian Muslims are very unfortunate in one sense - they do not have a leader who is going to lead them into enlightenment and into an "India first" state of mind. Their leaders tend to be either the islamofascist mullahs or extremely liberal or political demagogues (the kind who are keeping them in their pockets as votes). There are no Vivekanandas in the Muslim community.

Mr. Shahabuddin should have been the kind of leader I am talking about. He is a very educated man, well versed in diplomacy being an ambassador. However, he also showed his true colors when the Indian Supreme Court ruled for Mrs. Shah Bano and against her husband. He and O K Azmi formed the AIMPLB to defend the Muslim personal law instead of trying to integrate the Muslims in the mainstream. This is the case where the notorious SIMI also agitated against the ruling. I am not implying that Mr. Shahabuddin is part of the SIMI but ideologically, they definitely seemed to be joined at the hip.

Now this man is trying to get the week kneed UPA govt. to enforce the highly prejudicial Sachar Committee recommendations. So essentially, he wants the Indian government and the society to leave the Muslims alone but when it come to an unfair share of the pie, he is right there demanding special privileges for the Muslims. Don't you see the irony here?? With these kind of leader who instill nothing but victimhood, Indian Muslims will never be part of the mainstream Indian society.

The Shah Bano Case

"The orthodox Muslims in India felt threatened by what they perceived as an encroachment of the Muslim Personal Law, and protested loudly at the judgement. Their spokesmen were Muslim community leaders Obaidullah Khan Azmi and Syed Shahabuddin. They formed an organization known as the All India Muslim Personal Law Board and threatened to agitate in large numbers in all major cities. The then Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, bowed to their demands and cited the gesture as an example of secularism".

'Indian Muslims experiencing political awakening'
July 23, 2010 00:40 IST

"Shahabuddin said that since the release of the Sachar Committee Report two years ago, the Indian government "has started implementing one of its many recommendations -- that is, it has started giving scholarships to a large number of Muslim students to help them acquire a college education. This is a good sign, and the Muslims have to build on it for further help from the government."

The past comes to haunt Manmohan Singh in the Present

Success, it is said, has a thousand fathers. Corollary to that statement will be the one about failure being an orphan. With things going badly on all front, the internal fissures in the UPA are coming to the fore. While few are attacking the PM, internal bickering is become intense. It is obvious to most that Manmohan Singh is a one dimensional leader (word leader being used in a spirit of generosity), ineffective on most fronts. How will he function at all with people directly or indirectly gunning for him? And things are this bad with the opposition in a total disarray. God forbid, if the BJP got their act together, the GOI will come to a total halt. The next elections are still four extremely long years later. How is the aam aadmi supposed to wait that long for respite? If this were England, we could have replaced the current man by another. Blair made way for Brown and then Brown got ousted by Cameron. In our case, MMS may get replaced by Rahul baba whose only qualification is good looks and the right family. Is this what it has come to now? The only people speaking against all this are the internet newspapers and op-ed writers or the good people at the Daily Pioneer. The rest of the mainstream media is busy trying to divert the attention of the public from the problems to the ghost of "Hindu Terrorism". The whole neighborhood is in flames and these people are blaming the pothole. Wake up!!!!!!!!!! At this rate, we may not have a country to love and fight for anymore.

The Bandh owed its success to the Left and the Right coming together without necessarily compromising on their individual core ideologies. Unlike most of the rest of the media, this writer believed that the Congress party, after remaining in denial about the Bandh's success, would get a measure of the reality, and so it has, although it is not getting a full play in the press.

Water, water everywhere, not a drop to Drink

Water, water everywhere, not a drop to drink, said the thirsty man floating on the sea. We have people dying of hunger, kids eating clay to stave of hunger, mothers selling children for the same reason and our agriculture minister is busy playing cricket (vicariously of course and trying to scam a T20 Team for his family!!!). A quote from the following article says: " While Pawar rollicks about as a global sports administrator, more than five million tonnes of food stocks rot annually without refrigeration, without even a tin roof or a tarpaulin cover - and this when over 63% of children in India go to bed hungry". Any honorable person would, if not kill himself like a samurai , at least hand his head in shame. Food is rotting and the PM is running around claiming 10% growth rate. Of course I naively though that "roti, kapda aur makaan" was the main focus of the government. Boy, was I wrong!! I guess the PM is too busy making pace with the Pakistanis to have a shot at the Nobel Peace prize and a legacy. What warped priorities???????

India outsources food-waste woes
By Raja Murthy

MUMBAI - The Indian government is throwing open its food storage business to the private sector and foreign investors, as well as seeking Chinese expertise, at it tries to reduce the annual US$12.2 billion worth of agricultural produce allowed to rot due to inadequate government-owned facilities.
Food and Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar last week threatened criminal action against the wastrels. He targeted officials of the Food Corporation of India (FCI), the government's food stocker and distributor, for leaving grain out in the rain during the monsoon in Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state.
The situation has not changed much since 2008, when Subodh Kant Sahai, minister for food processing, made the startling disclosure of $12 billion in losses of agricultural produce owing to the absence or shortage of post-harvesting infrastructure, such as cold storage chains, transportation and storage facilities.

Forget any Indo-Pak peace until India has a popularly-elected prime minister

NVS is right on the money in pointing out that the current PM of India has never ever won an election free and clear. He got appointed by the Gandhi family (not once but twice) as the caretaker of Rahul Baba's PM seat as an appointed member of the Rajya Sabha. After becoming the PM, this man won the Loksabha seat from a Congress friendly seat irrespective of it's location. He is not an MP from Assam.

Judging by the state of economy for the aam aadmi, this man is not a true blue economist. Judging by a fledgling, state of foreign policy, this man is not a statesman. Judging by the law and order situation, especially from the Jihadi angle, this man is not a protector. What exactly is he then? And then despite of his weak and ineffective stature, he has decided like IK Gujral and even to some extent Atalji, that his legacy is going to be the peace between India and Pakistan. It seems from all the reports we are reading that that it is obvious to all but this man that there will be peace when hell freezes over. Since Hindus do not believe in concept of hell (in the Christian / Muslim sense), it will be even longer. Meanwhile the nations security is going to be the collateral damage in the quest of this man's legacy.

Separated by birth?
Forget any Indo-Pak peace until India has a popularly-elected prime minister, says N.V.Subramanian.

16 July 2010: India and Pakistan are skewed democracies. There is no chance of peace between them unless one of them, at a minimum, returns to the true democratic template. Indians smirk at the apology of a democracy called Pakistan but India is no better.

"One other damaging consequence of the disconnect between technocratic Manmohan Singh and the people of India is that he is adamantly pursuing a perilous peace dialogue with Pakistan that goes against public opinion, especially in North India. Partly, Manmohan Singh is on this course to please his American masters (yes, these are strong words), and for the rest, he is carried away by a false sense of "Punjabiat" oneness with the rulers of Pakistan.

I.K.Gujral was the first prime minister to make this Punjabi-Punjabi balle-balle blunder and now Manmohan Singh is strenuously chasing the let's-do-bhangra-together mirage. There is a predominant feeling among the Punjabi Indian ruling class that because it speaks a common language with Pakistani Punjabis, it is in the best position to make peace with Pakistan. You have to ask a Baluch, a Pathan and a Sindhi about Pakistani Punjabis, and abuses will flow"

Pakistani Punjabi Terrorism

That the criminal enterprise called Pakistan uses terrorists as tools if it's foreign policy and keep India bleeding is as secret as the sky is blue. The root of all Pakistani terrorism lies in Pakistani Punjab where the city of Muridke has the headquarters of LeT. On the door of the HQ are two flags which are used to wipe shoes. One is the Israeli flag and no points for guessing the second flag. Amazingly as long as these terrorists were hurting India and Afghanistan, the world didn't give a damn. But as soon as the sceptre of these terror outfits taking over Punjab and the rest of the Pakistan along with the nuke arsenal became real, the west started to scramble and come up with policies to contain them. Of course they are realising that it is going to be easier wished than done. The following is a good primer of Pakistani Punjabi terrorism for even the seasoned readers.

"In the 1980s, Pakistan's military dictator, General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, nurtured radical Sunni militant groups as terrorist proxies against India over the control of Kashmir, for Pakistan had been defeated in the three conventional wars with India since the 1947 partition."

" In 2002, Islamabad succumbed to U.S. pressure and banned five prominent militant organizations: LeT and JeM, which were responsible for the December 2001 Indian Parliament attack, as well as SSP, Tehrik-e-Jafaria, and Tehrik-e-Nifaze Shariat Mohammadi. Pakistani security arrested over two thousand militants, the majority from Punjab.[6] For militant Punjabis, the arrests were only a hiccup: Pakistani jails have revolving doors, and even high-profile detainees like JeM leader Maulana Masood Azhar and LeT chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed were soon free men. Banned organizations resurfaced under new names or as charities, and several smaller groups split and relocated to the FATA, where they joined Pashtun terrorists and al Qaeda and established their own training camps."

The ILL Winds from Arabia

The Foolish pseudo secular society in Kerala has all along believed that Jihadi's will never strike in their home ground. As per their belief the blasts reported in Mumbai, Delhi and even in nearby Coimbatore and Bangalore was only isolated incidents in faraway places.
Our Liberal Media and political party leaders justified and glorified Jihadi terrorist activities and sung panes to victimhood theories propagated by Islamists through their network. Hands of our Police officials were tied and investigations on Jihadis were purposefully sabotaged. The Jihadi's who developed a safe haven in the state now started showing their true colors.

The ill winds from Arabia

While a section of the secularist brigade in the media and the establishment have been busy constructing the myth of ‘Hindu terror’, the real terrorists have made deep inroads into the ‘secular’ bastion of Kerala — a State that has incidentally never elected a BJP legislator. The recent dismembering of the right hand of a Christian college teacher, Mr TJ Joseph, in Muvattupuzha by jihadi extremists was closely followed by the attempt to derail a train in the State.

There is widespread suspicion in Kerala that jihadi extremism has received protection and encouragement from the political class cutting across party lines. Reacting to the attack on Mr Joseph, Kerala Congress chairman KM Mani said that there had been an intelligence report about the threat to the lecturer’s life and not giving him police protection despite possessing this information was a failure on the part of the State Home Minister, who is an acolyte of the CPI(M) State secretary, Mr Pinarayi Vijayan.

Political leaders usually accuse each other on such occasions but Mr Mani’s accusation has much truth in it. The Marxists had openly joined hands with the PDP in the last election and Central security agencies have revealed how Kerala Police turned a blind eye to jihadi activities, including conducting of training camps in the State. Thadiyantavide Nassir, the main accused in the Bangalore serial blasts case, had earlier ‘escaped’ from the custody of Kerala Police and was finally traced in Bangladesh by security agencies belonging to other States.

Balkanization of Pakistan: An Easy Solution to Terrorism?

A long time ago yours truly wrote an article where I had questioned the right and logistics of Pakistan to EXIST. It was assumed that all Muslims were equal (as opposed to the unfortunate casteist Hindus) and thus one Pakistan would be enough for them. Sixty-seven years down the road we see that the two-nation theory lies in tatters. What remains of Jinnah’s nightmare is a country full of contradictions and fault lines. Sunnis hate shias, fair skinned Sunnis (who deem themselves descendants of the Prophet or the at least the Moguls) hate the dark skinned Hindu converts, Sindhis hate the water hogging Panjabis, Balochis hating the resource hogging Panjabis, Panjabis feeling superior to the rest of the humanity, the Pathans hating everyone else, and the Mirpuris confused about who they want to hate more. I have not even talked about the people living the Baltistan areas. A country full of fault lines is eminently wreckable ( to paraphrase Gordon Gekko from the movie Wall Street).
The two countries, which are the fount of all terrorist activities, are Saudi Arabia and Pakistan with the former providing money and the latter logistics, knowledge (they still have some of our genes) and cannon fodder. If we could neutralize one we would have solved a huge problem. However, since SA is one of worlds biggest oil supplier, the choice boils down to Pakistan. With all the fault lines, they do not deserve to be one country. Since, united they pose so much threat to world security, it is in the world interest to balkanize them. It turns out that I was not the only one with that pipe dream. The following url’s will show that that was not really a pipe dream but a valid solution to one of humanities biggest problems. By dividing Pakistan we render the Pakistani war machine impotent and restore the human rights to the Balochis and the Sindhis (who are still suffering from one mistake by G M Syed (that will be another article for another day!!). Here are some articles for your perusal on the topic du jure.

Why India needs Narendra Modi?
By Suhel Seth

The following paragraphs from the author make you feel proud that India has a Statesman Like Narendra Modi.

Let me begin with a set of disclosures: I have perhaps written more articles against Modi and his handling of the post-Godhra scenario than most people have; I have called him a modern-day Hitler and have always said that Godhra shall remain an enduring blemish not just on him but on India’s political class. I still believe that what happened in Gujarat during the Godhra riots is something we as a nation will pay a heavy price for. But the fact is that time has moved on. As has Narendra Modi. He is not the only politician in India who has been accused of communalism. It is strange that the whole country venerates the Congress Party as the secular messiah but it was that party that presided over the riots in 1984 in which over 3,500 Sikhs died: thrice the number killed in Gujarat.
The fact of the matter is that there is no better performer than Narendra Modi in India’s political structure. Three weeks ago, I had gone to Ahmedabad to address the YPO and I thought it would be a good opportunity to catch up with Modi. I called him the evening before and I was given an appointment for the very day I was getting into Ahmedabad. And it was not some official meeting but instead one at his house. As frugal as the man Modi is.
And this is something that the Gandhis and Mayawatis need to learn from Modi. There were no fawning staff members; no secretaries running around; no hangers on…just the two of us with one servant who was there serving tea. And what was most impressive was the passion which Modi exuded.

For al-Qaeda, watching from Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal area, this provides an opportunity for which it has waited a long time - to hijack Pakistan's "bleed India" operations for its own cause, that is, to pull India into the region's war theater.

According to well-placed sources in al-Qaeda, al-Qaeda sees the unrest in Kashmir as a "god-gifted" opportunity to steal the Kashmiri insurgency from its Pakistani handlers and use it for its Ghazwa-e-Hind operations. These sources say the next operation will be in the Indian capital New Delhi in October during the Commonwealth Games.
