Militant Outfits In recent years, militants have targeted India by trigging bomb blasts to make their presence felt whenever they were under pressure of security agencies. Anti-India elements have always targeted the religious places to trigger bomb blasts as to trigger communal violence as had happened in Mumbai. Some Pakistani and Bangladeshi militant groups are actively involved in terrorist and destructive activities inside India. They are not happy with the India- Pakistan peace process. Such elements have always targeted the vital installations. Some of the Islamic organization like SIMI are also involved in such activities.

Silicon Valley Bangalore is the IT hub of India. It is also called Silicon Valley of India. More than 1500 IT firms are situated in the city. Offices of some of the top most IT related companies are also situated in the city that includes Wipro, Infosys Technologies, Microsoft Corp and Intel Corp. This the second major incident after the attack on Indian Institute of Sciences in which an IIT professor M C Puri had died two years ago.

Fight Some elements in India’s neighboring countries are not happy with India’s rising status and its progress in the fields of research and technology. So they are relentlessly trying to target such kind of vital Indian installations. On the other hand governments of some of the neighboring countries are not strong enough to control militant outfits who are carrying out destructive activities across the border at their free will. Internal situation of Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanks is not favorable as for as India is concerned. Governments of these countries are struggling against militants inside their own countries. In such circumstances a very little can be expected that they are able enough to contain the militant outfits. It indicates that India will have to fight the menace on its own.
