Varanasi blasts

First off, let me begin by saying just how despicable this act is. I dont know who did it, but I sure would like our governments to grow balls to deal with it. With more than 20 dead, the timing of the blasts makes it very obvious as to the motive of the creatures that did it; to foment tension between the Hindus and Muslims. Okay, thats the obvious part.

I have two main thoughts in my mind after this tragedy. First is the vote bank politics of the CM Mulayam Singh Yadav in UP, and the second is the state of moderate Hindus. The latter is a very sticky subject, and perhaps I am way off, but thats what I feel it to be.

First off, let me just say point blank that Mulayam Singh Yadav is a traitor. That bastard will sell his country if he had to for his and his family's gain. His appeasement policy towards the minorities in the state, particularly the Muslims, is hurting the communal framework in the state beyond repair. What do you get in a state that is ranks absymally low on all development indexes, a large poor, uneducated population, very religious, and with a government that is willing to turn its eye away from all the bad that is happening in the state?

Its tragic that people like Mulayam and erstwhile Lalu/Rabri combine in Bihar have done so much harm to their states, whats more tragic is that while we can see it happen, we havn't, or can't do anything about it! People talk about how awfully bad politicians they are, yet the netas still manage to rig the next elections on a mass scale, or buy MLA's with money, and thus begins another vicious cycle of rot. Lalu and Mulayam are just poster boys. Almost all states have had politicians who have brought their states to ruin and bankruptcy, all to stay in power and hoard money while the goings still good.

Mulayam's family has been buying prime land all over Lucknow, just like his brethren all over the country have been doing, the MLA's in Delhi buying into illegal colonies, or politicians in Andhra buying land next to the expressways and major new projects. Its a business, no doubt. It sickens me. In fact, a former spy chief has mentioned in his memoirs that a current CM today is actively linked to ISI, but no, traitor politicians seem to be an inseperable part of India.

The second part of my post is about being a moderate Hindu. My personal belief is that God is within me, and I dont need to show it to the world. However, its not cool to do that, apparently. organizations like Bajrang Dal, VHP, want you to be loud, and think through your ass. And its the same with every religion in our country, unfortunately. I am a big supporter of dividing religion from state, but we dont seem to be heading that way for the most part. Hmm, I had a lot more thoughts than this on this subject, but i've lost them.

anyways, theres a piddly group from Kashmir that claims responsibility for the blasts. I would say the response by the Indian Army? Skin them alive. And most likely the blast was done by traitors within the state. Now what would Mulayam do? Why hail him of course!

Little known group owns up Varanasi blasts

A little known group calling itself the Lashkar-e-Kahar has claimed responsibility for the Varanasi serial blasts of Tuesday.

A spokesperson for the group who identified himself as Abdullah Jabbar alias Abu Kahar called a local news agency on Thursday morning to claim responsibility for the blasts that killed 20 persons and injured more than 100 on Tuesday.

"If the harassment of Kashmiris and arrests don't stop we will not allow the people of India to sleep in peace," the spokesperson said, and warned of more such attacks across India.

Highly placed intelligence sources in New Delhi say that in their records, Abu Kahar is an operative linked to the Student Islamic Movement of India.
He belongs to Muzzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh, but operates from Kashmir.
