I HATE TERRORISM - INDIA UNITE AGAINST TERRORISM

India has become vulnerable to terrorism. 
If corruption is a cancer in India's cells terrorism is a cardiac arrest. 
I had to publish posts many a times during the beginning period of my
blog in connection with terrorist attacks in Mumbai and other parts of India.


http://quizchampion.blogspot.com/2008/09/terrorism-in-india-part-1.html


http://quizchampion.blogspot.com/2008/12/terrorism-part-ii.html


It is high time that the government take a ZERO tolerance stand-point in tackling terrorism. We should prove that India is a country where millions of  human beings live with feelings of fraternity, peace, brotherhood, socialism and love. This is no land for ill minded, anti-social and evil brained people to play havoc with. 


I hope all of you would be on my part to prey for those who suffered in the wicked events took place in Mumbai for no sin they committed.
