At least one of the dead was allegedly involved in the series of bombings that killed 21 people and wounded 97 less than a week ago. A group calling itself the Indian Mujahedeen claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Blogger “Ravinder Kaur” examines how these attacks are part of the global network of terrorism and takes a look at the evolving perceptions of “India’s war on terror.”
The “Indian Muslims” blog claims that Indian Muslims have been “framed collectively as terrorists,” citing examples of hostility toward Indian Muslims, who make up 13.8 percent of India’s population.
An editorial in The Daily Star says the bombings confirm “the existence of Islamist terrorism in India,” pointing to a growing divide between the majority and minority populations in India.
On Wednesday, a survey emerged showing an increase in anti-Muslim sentiment in India and across Asia and Europe.
