It is very rare that terrorism can be defeated through brute force alone. Just look at Balochistan and Waziristan. The army can conduct any number of operations it wants, but that still won't solve the problem. It takes time no matter how soft or hard a country is perceived to be.

Some of you are putting too much emphasis on the alleged "softness" of Indian democracy in confronting terror. You would still be disappointed even if all your reservations were fully addressed.

Islamic militant groups are mounting such attacks to create a divide between the majority Hindus and Muslims, who make up 12 percent of the country's population.

These blasts are not merely to bloody a few people or kill a few people here and there. The idea is they are banking on some kind of Hindu backlash or majoritarian backlash so that in turn would radicalize the common Muslim population, and that is the larger aim.

When Hindus backlash, there would be cries from Pakistanis "See this is reason we created Pakistan"
