All items tagged Mumbai terrorist attacksOpen Think Tank ArticlesApril 29, 2010 | What Role Does India Have in the War on Terrorism?Kerley Tolpolar: The westernized classes targeted by Mumbai’s attackers and the part played by Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, and its backers in Pakistan, gave rise to voices calling for India to reconsider its non-aligned mentality and join in the global fight against the jihadist movement. ... MoreMarch 23, 2009 | India: Shaken to its CoreColette Grace Mazzucelli: The Mumbai attacks have been described as India’s 9/11, but this analogy is not accurate. Terrorism is one dimension of a larger challenge that India must now confront: the erosion of the pluralist and secular traditions of the country’s founders. ... MoreGlobal Must Read ArticlesNovember 25, 2009 | Forged by Fire: Consensus on PakistanThe United States and India have long agreed on an ideal Pakistan: a stable, democratic, civilian-controlled state with a commitment to nonproliferation. ++ However, the roads to achieving this ideal were divergent until the Mumbai attacks last year. ++ The so-called ‘Kashmiri groups’ had been viewed by the West as India’s problem. ++ Yet, a consensus was forged “that did not previously ... MoreFebruary 18, 2009 | Martyrdom: the Excuse for Mass MurderThe Indian-Muslim community refuses to bury the Pakistani-Muslims involved in the Mumbai terrorist attacks. ++ Their interpretation of the attacks not as an attempt at martyrdom but as an act of mass murder seeks to delegitimize the recruitment of young Muslims to suicide missions and portrays such acts to be a threat to the healthy development of Muslim communities. ++ What has happened in ... MoreJanuary 19, 2009 | India Must Measure its Actions Against PakistanPakistan has captured Jamaat-ud-Dawa activists and shut down their camps and a panel is to investigate the Mumbai attacks. ++ What has been done so far should be welcomed and appreciated. ++ Still, India has not managed to make its case: Kashmir actually had very little to do with the attacks, which in fact had the establishment of a caliphate as their target. ++ De-coupling US military aid ... MoreDecember 18, 2008 | Obama Must Take War On Terror to PakistanTwo attacks against US and NATO convoys near Peshawar in Pakistan have taken place in the last week. ++ The Pakistani army appears to be testing Obama’s will. ++The US and NATO must take adequate steps to respond to these incidents. ++ It is an opportunity for them to acknowledge that the recent attacks in Mumbai were of global proportions and that it was a major mistake to fight the war ... MoreDecember 16, 2008 | Financial Crisis Will Create New SomaliasPopulous Muslim countries will be among those hardest hit by the current economic crisis. ++ The Mumbai terrorists were to politics what the Somali pirates are to economics. ++ Iran will either break down or break out into military action. ++ Pakistan finds itself broke in a situation where allegiance to the government has been bought. ++ Indonesia and Saudi-Arabia pay “Muslim risk premium”. ++ ... MoreDecember 9, 2008 | Terrorist Attacks Directed at PakistanThe terrorist attacks in Mumbai were also directed at Pakistan’s democratic government, which is trying to advance the peace process with India. ++ Accusing Pakistan of complicity is wrong. ++ Pakistan is willing to take action against non-state actors, who are threatening the international security. ++ Pakistan, India and the US have to coordinate actions to counteract terrorism. ++ The ... MoreDecember 9, 2008 | America Can No Longer Impose Solutions on PakistanA recent US report, “World at Risk,” seems to label Pakistan itself as a weapon of mass destruction, but contains solid proposals. ++ Involvement in Central Asian has been characterized by patchwork diplomacy. ++ This bit-by-bit approach goes back to British colonial times, when the alternative was a “military steam-roller.” ++ Sending Holbrooke as envoy to Central Asia would create an important ... MoreDecember 5, 2008 | India's Middle Class Must Do Politics for StabilityThe Mumbai attacks were nothing new, but they struck a people that were starting to feel secure. ++ “Confidence in the political system is at a low.” ++ “The middle class is accustomed to overlooking the fault lines in India.” ++ India cannot be stable with unstable neighbors such as Pakistan, or with large, marginalized internal groups, such as its 150 million Muslims. ++ Hindu nationalist ... MoreDecember 3, 2008 | Mounting Threat Coming From PakistanIn light of the attacks on Mumbai, President-elect Obama’s presidency will become even more complex. ++ Indicators seem to show that the attacks originated in Pakistan and point to Lashkar-e-Toiba, a terrorist group based there. ++ A massive retaliation by India can be expected. ++ Pakistan is becoming the most alarming risk factor on the global stage. ++ Should the situation in Pakistan ... MoreDecember 2, 2008 | Leave the Kashmir Question to India and Pakistan“Americans are right to express solidarity with India.” ++ Facing Maoist rebels in the east, separatists in the northeast, organized crime and communal violence, India is a world to itself. ++ Unfortunately, the bloodiest conflict with Pakistan is over Kashmir. ++ The US needs Pakistan to defeat Islamist militants within its borders and in Afghanistan. ++ American mediation over Kashmir would ... MoreNovember 28, 2008 | For India, the Specter of Terrorism Will PersistIndia has recently suffered dozens of terrorist attacks with thousands perishing, but is it enough to send her over the “red line?” ++ The latest attack, brazen as it was, shows the weakness of al-Qaeda inspired assaults. ++ With the West having implemented stronger security measures, India is a new “soft target.” ++ The motivation of these murderers will probably never be ...
