There is a danger that its foot dragging on democratic reform and the suppression of its secular-moderate opponents could clear the way for assertion of hard-line Islamists in the country. |

Considering the blasts that took place in Bangladesh this month, suddenly I get scary of the scenario where,there is a hijack of a plane from Bangladesh and attack on India in 9/11 style? I hope at least somebody might have envisioned this by intelligence and would have prepared for it.
Well, forget the neighbourhood, dude. How about looking inside the house?
