There have been more than 8 blasts in all! A daring attempt like this can not be a work of few people.. It involves a series of interdependent men. First ISI,then Millitant Groups and now we have these so called Indian Mujahideen (I wonder why they call themselves Indians?)
Intelligence.. It seems they are the last people to know about anything! They didnt know abt Diwali Blasts,Neither about intrusion on LOC nor about China’s stand in Arunachal Pradesh!!

The aim of the organisation should be to put pressure on the government, cops and if need be hire competent lawyers or pay the state appointed lawyer inorder to get the accused prosecuted and also see to it that evidence and witnesses are not tampered with.

Dreams, aspirations and determination are the ingredients that make student days the most exciting stage of one’s life. And in the present times of cut-throat competition, the one thing that every student dreams of is – to get enrolled for a professional course of her/his choice at a premier institution in the country.
In the days gone by, long queues for admissions, incomplete information and travel costs were huge pain points on way to charting an ideal career path. But today, the Indian education system has taken a digital leap with the help of the effective use of the Internet.
The availability of downloadable forms, online gateways to pay admission fees and submit forms, have helped the students to concentrate on the most important task at hand – studying for the exams, thereby reducing physical, mental and financial burden on them and their parents. The introduction of centralised online counselling is also one of the most significant steps taken by the Indian Government towards making things easier for the student community.
What are the objectives?
The objectives of online counselling can be enumerated as follows:
