India’s war on terror

Lots of great stuff in Jonathan Foreman’s new article, India’s Time of Reckoning — but it’s for Commentary subscribers only.  Here’s a sample:

India is no stranger to jihadist terrorism. In 2007, there were lethal bombings in the cities of Jaipur, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, and Delhi. In 2006, Pakistan-based terrorists, helped by local accomplices, set off a series of explosive devices on Mumbai’s commuter trains that killed 209 people. But November’s attack was different. Mumbai’s “11/26,” as it is called here, targeted sectors of Indian society that, because of wealth or position, have long believed they were shielded from terrorism.
