A professor of IIT delhi was shot dead here by terrorists when he came to attend a seminar at IISC. It is really shocking and sick. Deep condolences to the family. Six other professors were injured in this attack 
For how long we are going to bury our heads in sand and brush away terrorism? It has gone to such a level that a professor who came to talk on operations research was killed!
Dont we have enough incidents to bring very strong anti terrorism laws? What are we gaining by tying down the hand of police and army with these peace talks? It is a shame for the nation.
Open the borders , leave buses to pakistan and talk about peace. Its really frustrating and scary. God knows what will happen next!
Government should start executing the terrorists in jail. We do not want more kandahar episodes. And add to it abu salem partying in mumbai jail!
Anyways who cares. We have important news like Aamir khan getting married and top movies of 2005 etc. For one week there will be talks on terrorism and then people will forget. Wish we take a leaf out of israels book!

Sad event that rocked the hallowed portals of knowledge. I am actually trying to think - what could have been the motive? I do not think anybody would have even thought of such an event happening. What is more appalling is that the Intelligence will start claiming now that they had information on such a terrorist attack being planned. And they will do all sorts of deduction… but of what use is all anyways? Can they try and prevent any such terror activities from happening? The movie “Minority Report” had kinda potrayed a governance where an occult science was being used to prevent crime. Let us keep occult science away. Lets say Intelligence itself is that good. Then why not go a step further and prevent crime as far as possible…??
I doubt if eminent professors would travel to India to give talks, speeches and participate in conferences. This event is another black spot on India.

Its a shame that it happened first place..Even scary to note the audience and the city.!!
Before we jump to conclusions about the borders etc..let’s wait. Who knows exactly what happened? How can we say for sure its from across the borders. Are we sure we don’t have such groups operating in our own country.?
What was the Intelligence doing? What happened to CBI?
Let’s wait.!! But …this is one scary incident.!!

Who said it was terrorism(unless you belong to various news channels that have already decided on this)? The comical(tragical?) part on the whole episode was that NDTV was publishing a ticker that “CM of Karnatak calls for emergency meeting at 10AM on 29th”. Well…if its an “emergency”, it is supposed to be NOW…not next day morning!!
