INDIA - Welcome to the World of Terrorism!!

ASOKA S....

In the 1970's and 80's India trained the young Tamil separatist groups from Sri Lanka. Then they armed them and funded them. Southern Indian Leaders like MGR gave millions to the LTTE to start its Killing Spree in the guise of Tamil Separatism.

Later in the 1980s Mrs. Ghandi was dead against JR. taking a hard line against the LTTE. So much so during the successful Vadamarachi battle, India at odds with JR., even planned an invasion of Sri Lanka and moved troops to the South in preparation. Fortunately for Sri Lanka Mrs. Ghandi was gunned down by a Sikh terrorist before the invasion could ever take place.

Since then after the blasting of her son Rajiv by the very same LTTE, India stood with the LTTE every step of the way to appease her vast South Indian electorate in Tamilnadu. They brought forward various obstacles to the helpless Lankan government while the LTTE was blowing people and property all over Sri Lanka including the Central Bank building, Air Lanka plane, Colombo Airport, Galadhari Hotel, Oil refinery, Power Stations in addition to several Presidents and leading political figures. Rather than being an honorable and good neighbor with long historical ties to tiny Sri Lanka, India did everything but support Sri Lanka to wipe out the LTTE.

Even today while our valiant troops are liberating Lanka from the LTTE menace, our President has to run to India virtually to plead with Manmohan Singh to allow him to finish the war. Little attention was ever paid by India how so much its little Southern neighbor was bleeding due to terrorism and innocent lives being blown up resulting in carnage

So at last today, on the 26th day of November 2008, the tables have turned for a change. India is tasting the bitterness of brutal terrorism on its own soil and in the heart of its commercial capital. Indians are running helter skelter while innocent Indian blood is strewn on its streets. All this time India talked the talk only but today it is having to walk the walk. Hopefully merciless India who turned a deaf ear to Lankan pleads all these years may at last realize the true evil of terrorism even at this late hour. No amount of prayer to the Holy Ganges will resolve this issue until India treats Terrorism as Terrorism no matter which country it occurs or which group is responsible.

So in conclusion it is only right to say "India, welcome to the World of Terrorism."
