    The tragic incident of Mumbai, India dropped me into a shock. The next moment of the incident, Indian bureaucrats and media started pointing the ‘confident’ finger at Pakistan. This reminded me of ‘Samjhota Express’ tragedy.

    Within couple of hours of Samjhota Express bombings, Indian authorities were pointing fingers at Pakistan. Turned out, the gruesome massacre was the handy work of the Hindu extremists, like Col Purohit. There are countless other, serving or retired Indian military officials, like Lt Col Jayant Rao Chitale and Lt Gen P N Hoon who also train and form the Hindu Suicide Squads. Surprise, surprise! It turns out, besides Muslims; Hindus too can be quite proficient at bombings.

    It it possbile to believe Indian Media’s irrational propaganda that Pakistan is involved in Mumbai’s incident?

    Let’s look at some blames from India:

    1. According to Indian forces, the terrorists reached India through boats. At the time when terrorists entered Indian coast, Indian Navy along with Coast Guards was practicing a defense exercise at the coast. The defense exercise was about safeguarding the coast from external elements or ‘Al-Qaeda’. Now let’s come to the fact that how come its possible ‘The great Blue Waters’ Indian Navy and Coast Guards (who keep hunting the fishermen) could not protect the coast? A group of terrorists in ordinary boats with heavy ammunition and weapons enter through coast, is it possible, rationally?
    2. It is said by Indian forces that the terrorists never came to Mumbai before; they planned everything through ‘Google Earth’. Maybe the forces who have made this statement don’t know that Google Earth can show only satellite view of a location. How come the terrorists know all the interior locations of hotels? And then they had taxies to different areas and without wasting time they did it. Interesting?
    3. If they have come from Pakistan through waters with heavy ammunitions, and they have even crossed the coast, how could they bring such heavy arms inside the hotel where even a lighter is being detected through scanner
    4. According to Indian media, they have found a cell phone of a terrorist with Pakistani contact numbers and Pakistani Identity Card of a terrorist too. Wow!!! They have come for a terrorist attempt with all the evidences. They dropped a Pakistani ID card, a phone and other clear evidences…hats off to the media.
    5. Indian Govt. has blamed ISI for the incident. ISI is considered a very strong agency globally and India admits that. How come such an organized agency commits a childish act that makes all loss no gain? This kind of attempt can never gain for anyone, but loss. They only occupied some places for sometimes and got killed.

    Then who the terrorists were if not Pakistanis?

    Indian media’s spectacular eye has ignored clear evidence, unintentionally and intentionally. Have a look at the picture attached, picture of one of the terrorists involved in this attempt. NOTICE THE RED THREAD ON HIS RIGHT HAND. Tying a red thread or cord around the wrist is a Hindu practice and it is unlikely a Muslim, especially one politicized enough to carry out an attack such as this, would observe it. I think this provides more evidence that this was a false flag operation or at least an attack by a non-Muslim group.
    Additionally, the terrorists inside the Nariman House Building were reported to have stocked up on supplies on Wednesday evening, buying not just food items but liquor, among other things, from a local store (Source: http://www.shturem.org/index.php?section=news&id=31585) . Again, it is highly unlikely that a Muslim, let alone a ‘Mujahid’, and especially one politicized enough to carry out such an attack, would consume liquor in normal life, let alone hours before his inevitable ‘martyrdom’.

    The ENEMY is nowhere but from your own country (100 groups in a war against India):

    Mumbai’s night of terror underscores a phenomenon concealed by the Indian government and intelligence agencies and deliberately ignored by a biased Anglo-American media for a long time: The rise of a virulent form of Hindu terrorism that begets violence from other minorities. Here is a list of almost one hundred groups that are fighting the Indian government. All of them thrive in India. The context for what has happened in Mumbai is stunning only for those unaware how a cocktail mix of wrong policies, official patronage to extremism, and separatist movements have come together to destabilize India.
    Here is the list: http://groups.google.com.pk/group/paknationalists/web/100-groups-in-a-war-against-india

    Neatly tucked under the well constructed – and expensive – veneer of ‘Incredible India’ advertisements on international television channels is the hottest Indian story: The fast rise of Indian religious terrorist organizations that have penetrated India’s military and politics. The movement is so strong, resourceful and organized that it warrants the label India’s Hindu al-Qaeda.
    The arrest last week of a serving Indian army colonel who along with some other officers has allegedly transferred military funds, material and training to terrorist groups is a matter that should not escape the attention of India’s neighbors, since it is directly linked to New Delhi’s new desire for expanding its reach beyond its borders and to serve as the regional policeman for American interests in the Asia-Pacific.

    And yes, there is no group in India as Daccan Mujahideen.

    What are the possible reasons to blame Pakistan?

    1. To avoid internal disorganization and ethnical riots.
    2. The Indian Intelligence have diverted the global attention towards another issue where they would blame Pakistan for this slaughter and use Barack Obama’s doctrine of attacks on Pakistan to encircle Pakistan from both sides.
    3. To grab world attention by a local 9/11.
    4. For the past many weeks, the biggest story in India was involvement of Indian Military Intelligence officers in orchestrated acts of terrorism against Muslims to create a Hindu-Muslim riot situation as well as to create a justification for war against Pakistan. Many Indian army officers were caught and Indian Police was forced to work deeper into finding more BJP, Bajrang Dal and RSS terrorists in Indian military and Intelligence setup. This story had created a serious panic in Indian military and their Fascist patrons in Hindu Zionists. Something had to be done to divert the attention of the world and Indian public from acts of terrorism by Hindu Hardliners. …..Then comes the Mumbai Massacre.

    Clear?

    All the facts above prove the involvement of Pakistan wrong. On the other hand, the Indian Govt. has not managed yet to provide tangible proofs.

    On a friendly note, I request my Indian friends an open-eyes research and not to believe everything that media says. Pakistan is always with India to fight against terrorism.
    Terrorism is a global issue and Pakistan-India are suffering it. India should deal with her internal terrorism menaces as Pakistan is doing so.

    It’s been some time since I last blogged, and honestly, alot has happened since, I mean a real lot !

    I have been gaining some weight, which looks odd coz it’s just around my tummy, makes me look like a man with a baby inside :P haha !

    Oye and please wish Ammar Yasir, a big evil Happy Birthday.. yes it’s his birthday.. he was drpped on this round ball this day !

    Any how, I also found some more of my school colleagues on facebook, which is good, now isn’t ?

    On the other hand Asim and Ammar must really be pissed, haven’t done any update to TeaBreak in some time now, and also Zair had been busy with coke studio’s website, like you can see on his blog. Any how, even though a little late, I promise Teabreak is going to be kickass… can’t you figure yet, I have been way too busy recently too..damn !

    Oh and how can I forget, I have some days off from my office, took a little vacation, for some reasons I donot want to share with no one, people who already know, keep your freaking mouths shut :P warna toont tum logoon ki :P

    Also I’ve been getting some good amount of hits on my blog, since it got to some design sites, which is nice, and super cool too. Credit to all those who came :D thank you !

    Also, on the final note, I got the Air conditioner in my room, finally, which is good, even though the electric system in our city is not so fine tuned, but I think we can manage a couple of cool hours…yaay :D

    Thats all for now fellas.. enjoy the video that follows..

    The good things first..

    My blog was listed in the 100 inspirational blog designs, which got me do a little wowing :P

    Also, it’s was also the 5th birthday of Wordpress… YAAAY ! :D

    Ok, so thats about the end of todays good part :P

    As I said it’s been a random day, total random day ! I hadn’t really slept well then again, when do I ever ?, any how, I hadn’t slept well, and then this shit load of work, well it wasn’t that much, but since i was way sleepy, it seemed like it, but I completed it, which is a little achievement for my inner brat :D And oh boy, alot of systems at our work place got infected with some crappy chinese virus :D haha !

    But most of the systems are now clean, and those that had the issues weren’t major machines, except a couple of them, which means we probably will get a dedicated server for the design team soon, hopefully. Thank goodness my computer was still safe, otherwise things would have been much more bizarre, in the wrong direction.

    We also had a little design team meeting today, which was god, and nice one, and guess what, I’ll be leading the next one, not really a very interesting thing really, specially since I m going to be doing it, not much is going to come out of it :P

    Oh and boy, I got late coming home too, missed my office van, and took ages to grab a cab, and then the long route..Woah.. nevermind.

    Yes fellows, Zair, handed me the structure for teabreak deisgn, that I did roughly 2 weeks ago, so now we’re off coding it. Me and Zair had planned that we’d do it together, but then on Friday, I heard the news that my grandma’s sister’s husband had passed away, so I had to rush home to pick up the kid who works and learns at our place, and then rush to their house.

    My Saturday went around a little hectic too, no kidding, and yet here I m writing lines of code.. Zair I m sorry I rewrote your code :P ya know I lke writing my own boogey code.. things are about to get complicated :P

    Any how, we’re gonna do something about teabreak.

    Oh and on the other hand, Sitepoint and 99designs are giving away ‘The Photoshop Anthology’, by Corrie Haffly, for a limited time, if you work photoshop, grab it while the offer lasts.. yes it’s free..
