Cities Surveyed on Terror Issues

TOI reports on a survey carried out across various Indian cities, asking about terror-related issues. If you click on the image inset within, you'll see 2 panels' worth of survey results.

I was surprised at some of the results, though others seemed quite predictable. It seems that Chennai leads the country in pro-nationalist positions, from what I can see. Would anyone care to comment on the factors behind the particular results reported by this survey?

Narendra Modi ji's interview to PBS. The interviewer has tried to paint the Mumbai terrorist attack into Hindu's atrocities on Muslims and interviews Shashi tharoor who spews venom against you know who as usual.

Self goal by Mumbai ATS and supported by media

Islamabad: Sources in the Pakistan Government have said that Islamabad might formally ask India to hand over army officer Lt. Col. Shrikant Prasad Purohit, for undergoing a trial in a court in Pakistan for his alleged role in perpetrating the bomb blasts on the Samjhauta Express that runs between both countries.

Full coverage: Malegaon blast

The train blast took place about 100 kilometers from New Delhi in Deewana near Panipat on February 19, 2007. In the attack, 64 people, including some Pakistani nationals, were killed in explosions believed to have been set off by IEDs in two of the train’s coaches as it was heading towards the Attari Railway station near Lahore.

Lt. Col. Purohit is the first serving army officer arrested for his alleged involvement in terrorist activities and for links with Hindu extremist organizations, reports the Daily Times.

Purohit procured RDX for Samjhauta blast: ATS

Lt. Col. Purohit is currently in police custody in Maharashtra after he was arrested by the Mumbai-based Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in connection with the September 28, 2007 Malegaon bomb blast case.

The Pune branch of the ATS obtained Lt. Col. Purohit’s custody. Lt. Col. Purohit has already charged the ATS with acting in a high-handed manner

San,
I really dont think these surveys mean anything.... You want the best survey..look at our election results.. all these angry men/women must have sure voted for the candidate who bought them liquour/TV Sets/ rice or what not.. or better still sat in their arm chairs and waxed eloquently about all that is wrong about India..Who cares if India burns?..Sure as hell no Indian does!
May be a rule of thumb.. the further away from the Indo-Pak border the more patriotic u r ...
of course Gujarat is an exception..
