Mumbai Attacks

India seems to have now become a target for Islamic terrorist attacks and if the “success” of the current crisis is any indication, this could completely destabilize the economic development process for the country. India has the third-largest Muslim population in the world, with 154 million Muslims. If a Hindu-Muslim conflict blows up, we’re in for horrendous atrocities all over the country. And if the Pakistan-Afghanistan instability seeps into India, the world enters an intensely dangerous phase.

This is time for leadership at every level, local, regional, global, and in every sphere, from defense to intelligence to economics.

And it is going to be incredibly important for the world to not get sucked into a fear psychosis, and get paralyzed for the next decade.

The twenty-first century has brought us challenges that are getting increasingly daunting.

Are we going to get intimidated by these challenges, or are we going to preserve our faith and rise to the occasion?

I will repeat the message from my last post: Despair is an insult to the future.
