Beyond Work 
4. He probably lost his nerve! Or got overpowered before being able to react. Once they’d got one, security services probably didn’t see the need to be nice to the others…
7. A BBC journalist said he had news & film that the security forces asked him not to broadcast as they felt the terrorist might be watching the events on TV. They would maybe have got a better view of the state of the security response.
8. Of course. And Yes. Isn’t that what commercial news networks are all about? It may not be ideal but if there isn’t a swathe of protest followed up by legislation & sanction… it ain’t gonna change.
10. Briefly and locally, perhaps. But many will also feel they want to holiday in India out of sympathy for Indians, depending on the security follow-up.
Hi since i cant use my reaal name as i am involved in security issues of the country let me answer in phases using anonymus name.
1. The flight was not delayed in delhi. this is normal time.
2. He was not fully aware of situation and went with service revolver only which was premature for such man.
3. The most sought hotels where international tourists present and house that had jewish people inside.
4.To show world that they can keep indian commandos at bay. Preliminary interogations points towards the same.
5. they have promised not to show movement of NSG but will cover in general and since the tv was cut off and jammer was in place it went on.
6. media was never there when hemant confronted. NSG death was he went ahead in the staircase to save another commando and instead of retreating he surged ahead and sharpenel from blast hit him.
7. Forces came to know abt blackberry on day 2 and some landline calls made on day 1 and so the media was asked to stop giving out specifics
8.I dont have the capacity to answer this as i am from security side and not from media.
9.interogation is going on and the agency is trying to put together pieces of info abt the motive.
10.true unless some assurance can be given.
11. we have friendly govt in pakistan as of now. We will have to wait and see what they can offer.
12. it will have serious implications in pakistan. Many parties feel sending ISI chief amounts to admit of guilt.
13. The mode of attack is different and they know verywell if caught ded or alive it will point to plan across border and still they went on. thats the difference
14. Its real
15.No comments not my area of specialisation
16. media and its behaviour i am unable to comment
17.Security agencies have given their recommadattions.
18.The instruction was to secure hostages and thats why the delay and the terrain was totally unfamiliar. Forces are not aware of exact no of terrorists and the fire power it took while to understand that.
19. No comments
20. You will come to know in days to come
21. They were shifing between floors and were getting cornered and the reason they thought first floor was safe bet cannot be revealed as of now but it was good one thats all i can comment as of now
22.Thats between govt and TATA.
Everything can be answered with these words/phrases Inefficiency, Bad Work ethics, Lack of Planning, Lack of Security, Lack of Respect for our nation’s infrastruture, laws and people, Lack of good Leadership and Apathy.
This is not a new thing that has happened, only now, Foreign Tourists and Wealthy Industrialists were involved. The Media is a Commercial Enterprise so it will do what it can to boost veiwer/readership. In all these years after our Independence, its not like we dont have a perception of reality when it comes to threat from terrorism, but what have we done so far? We played the NICE guy in the eyes of other Nations, we like to do less work for the pay we get cause “come on, who cares any way, no matter who governs the(not our) country we are in the same place”. Well, we see the results and it isnt that great, is it?
All questions are valid and there must be accountability. But my biggest worry is – This reaction and questions are coming only from maybe 20% of the educated class.. this movement is restricted to 20% of the indians who are angry and who know what to expect from the Government for their own safety and security. But what of the rural poor, the vast majority who are uneducated, and constitute majority of the vote bank. Can these 20% who are angry at their own administration create a change? How can we reach the people on the other side of internet, newspapers, blogs and make them join us?
