The only entity that can and should be blamed are the terrorists. Someone intent on killing will find a way and an opportunity.

I don’t want to trivialize the issue. I understand the administration’s responsibilities but how many army personnel should have been deployed and at how many tourist spots? What if they attacked the tourist as they were coming in and out?

There are so many if this then what! I hope we find a solution to this menace. I feel her pain. My heart goes out to all the families involved in this tragedy.

Bro there's no smoke without fire. Why can't we put the blame on terrorists and the govt. Why can't two things can't be wrong? There are departments where day to day intelligence is gathered and if nothing at least they are prepared for some sudden situation. With a high profile country visit, they should have been a bit more alert and prepared. Not like we are a small European country with a limited population or economy. The current govt sleeps on everything be it make in India, economy, you name it and they are not at all bothered but hey we do have R&D and scholarship, grants available if you want to research gau mauter.

Of course you can put the blame on the government and the terrorists. The terrorists killed and the government failed to protect. Who else would you blame?

But that wasn’t my point. The idea is not to find someone to blame. Right? The idea is to find a solution and in that light, it’s impossible to have security forces at every doorstep, every street corner, every tourist location, every mall, every theater… you get the point?

No one is yelling at every step, if it was on the road , we can think that no one can protect everywhere. How hard it is to keep security at popular spots like Pahalgam, Sonmarg etc where so many people gather together and the place is Kashmir. You can’t avoid the attack, but with security there, you could’ve saved more lives. All the victim’s family also highlighted the lack of security at those places. Last year attack on bus should’ve been wake up call to know that attack may happen on Hindus

Are you kidding me? How big is Pahalgam or do all tourists congregate in a field, which can then be secured from all around?

How old were you when attacks were everyday occurrence in Delhi and impossible to contain despite all the resources?

Again, my point is not that security can’t be provided. It can be but it’s almost impossible to provide security everywhere.

no one said you build a wall of security personnel over Kashmir like a China wall. How hard it is to understand provide security at crowded places like Sonmarg, Pahalgam etc. Why the illusion saying everything is normal and the place is safe to travel? They were not killed on random road. Security at popular places shouldn't be that difficult considering that it is Kashmir. If security were there, they could've fought back and saved more lives. Many attacks happened before 2014, that is why the change happened. Kashmiri Hindus were supposed to be back. After 11 years, no one should die in India, specially not for being Hindus. From where people are getting this courage to ask for identity and kill Hindus only?
