Sadhvi Pragya Thakur is accused of September 29 Malegaon blasts. On tape, she utters the chilling words, ‘Why didn’t more people die?’  The alleged mastermind of the Malegaon blasts is a serving Lt. Colonel Shrikant Purohit. The Bhonsla Military Academy in Nasik trained as many as 54 men in military and bomb making technology in 2001.The Malegaon blast investigation is yielding astounding results; there have been 10 arrests so far.

Hindu Janjagran Samiti members exploded bombs outside a Thane auditorium. Also, Shiv Sangram Samiti activists attacked the residence of a newspaper’s editor Kumar Ketkar, who wrote an article asking why the Maharashtra government was constructing a Shivaji statue. At a seminar in Delhi University, an ABVP activist spat in the face of SAR Geelani. At MS University in Baroda, VHP activists attacked an artist during an art exhibition. These are just the tip of the ice berg and perhaps the larger part of terrorism is yet to be cracked.
