Militants Planned Attack On Indian Software Firms
Alien54 writes "Militants killed in an encounter in New Delhi on Saturday night planned to attack leading software companies in Bangalore in addition to the Indian Military Academy in Dehra Dun, Delhi police said on Sunday Indian police claim the men were members of Lashkar-e-Toiba - a Wahabi militant group fighting for an independent Kashmir. Apart from maps of call centers police also recovered 100 kilos of dynamite, 10.5 kilos of RDX explosive, 450 detonators, three AK-56 rifles and a satellite phone."
Having worked in a couple of call-centres, trust me. Some people really can be this heartless in real-life.
In my previous job, I had someone pretend to be calling from the hospital with news that the manager's wife was dying in hospital in a bizarre attempt to speak to them. Note sure what they expected.
Manager: Hi, my wife, how is she?
Caller: Oh, I was just joking about that so I could speak to you. Now, here are some problems I'd like fixed. Hello?.... Hello?

i was reading through his articles yesterday after seeing the article posted on slashdot yesterday.d itorials/outsource_baghdad/index.html
and one of them was touching this subject: http://www.ranum.com/security/homeland_security/e
The nation of India hereby thanks your President and his glorious War on Terror, for giving rise to such short sighted policies as the promotion of Pakistan to MNNA status (Major Non-NATO Ally).
And by Pakistan, I mean a nuclear armed country which has demonstrated its willingness to proliferate WMD technology, whose intelligence services and military are thoroughly penetrated by Islamic radicals, whose President's life is under constant threat, and whose feigned ignorance of anti-India terror cells is tantamount to tacit support.
WARNING: DO NOT LET DR. MARIO TOUCH YOUR GENITALS. HE IS NOT A REAL DOCTOR.
The region now known as in Indian subcontinent had been fragmented into small kingdoms (much like US districts ofcourse)... ruled by small kings (same status as say mayors ? )... now every now and then there would arise some particular king that would conquer the entire sub-continent over his reign i.e. Chandragupta Maurya ... or King Bharat and s on... but after their death the smaller kingdoms would break away again. So it went on till the muslim invaders came in and conquered literally all of India, forcing all the smaller kings to pay taxes to them and recognize them as the true ruler.
It was during the period of Emperor Aurangjeb that the British came in and asked permission to set up a trading outpost, from which they went on to capture small kingdoms one by on through their policy of "divide and rule". As such India and Pakistan were actually one country ruled by the Mughal emperors and were a unified nation long before the British. Glad to clear up that piece of propaganda. Feel free to check up on Mughal Emperors and how much of India they governed, on googol or someplace.
As for democratically elected leaders... India and Pakistan actually were all small kingdoms DESPITE the british rule e.g. Hyderabad, Junagarh, Kashmir and so on. They were made to choose to join one or the other country and yes the choices hold even 60 years later as such. Else the alternative is that none of the choices hold and I think neither India nor Pakistan would wish to accept that alternative. i.e. a full redrawing of map
AS for India's being secular ... isn't USA supposed to be the same ? Heck it is supposed to treat blacks and whites equally. India to its credit has had a muslim president and a female prime minister. When was the last time US could boast of either or those or a black heading the country ? And despite the declarations of equality and black and whites peacefully coexisting, there have been riots between these two factions often enough.
Heck in the light of current events I would go as far as to say, USA is ruled by a fundamentalst Christian Government. Care to dispute that ? who cares ? Given the choice Kashmir would leave India *and* Pakistan... and next morning have the Chinese walking in just like Tibbet, costing India a major militarily strategic region, and gaining the Kashmiris nothing as Chinese would be happy to wipe out the local muslim populace to make room for their own.
So much for that theory of yours ...
