Terrorism in India: What's happening and What needs to be done?

B Raman, in his open to letter to Vinod Mehta, provides some fantastic analysis on the problem of terrorism in India. He advises us to understand the facts, rather than projecting a face of helplessness over superficial conclusions. Some of the interesting points put forward by him are...

1) India has sucessfully dealt with regional terrorism, say, Al-Umma, but failed to counter pan-India terrorism like the IM.

2) The failure to deal with pan-India terrorism is due to lack of co-ordination at political and professional levels, from both states as well as central agencies.

3) The effort has to begin from our politicians- provide the professionals with the necessary freedom and tools as well as address the cause of youth turning to terrorism.

Read more on this here.... Raman's Strategic Analysis provides interesting analysis about the political and military scenario in South Asia.
