Though, my point was increasing security does put pressure on the economy through the management of this security and easy moving of the confidenciality! The same way it was affected during world war II. The effect won't be that severe, but similar. And all this for no hope of improvement over the situation, since we can't identify the terrorists that easily.<BR/><BR/>And moreover, effect of student coming to research, I don't think will be affected too much by this! Particularly, when the effect of terrorism is almost on every field of society! for e.g. quite a few incidences of bomb-blast in the BEST buses has not affected the traffic! The BSE runs the same crowded, even on the 3rd of the blast, sensex was down but not the rush!<BR/><BR/>Something is good here! we all are discussing these issues seriously. It is important.

I feel there is a lack of accountability within the system. I guess each institute must have their own standards(of security), and must strictly adhere to them. These standards must also be reviewed periodically, and not only when something like this happens.<BR/><BR/>This pattern of thinking is recurrent in many facets of Indian policy making. We always treat, the symptoms whereas the disease keeps growing inside, silently. This has to end.<BR/><BR/>(Samudrika, I've chosen to be anonymous this time, but I'm sure you can find out if you want to)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18638043.post-1136307953358118632006-01-03T22:35:00.000+05:302006-01-03T22:35:00.000+05:30@oook If only our collective bad vibes could accom...@oook <BR/>If only our collective bad vibes could accomplish something....<BR/><BR/>@voice within<BR/>Indian media is just in its infancy. In the future, things will get worse - not better. One only hopes that things dont go totally out of hand.<BR/><BR/>@guess who?<BR/>Thanks. You should not have bothered. Really.<BR/><BR/>@Supremus/Suyog<BR/>That three letter word TRP's yes.<BR/><BR/>@abhi<BR/>Thank you for stopping by. Yes, that is an important section that I missed. The people that *we need*. After the IISc incident many scientists from abroad will think twice before coming here.<BR/><BR/>@amit<BR/>Funny thing that after the *Banglore incident* the BEST bus stop was not pushed back to Dhobi Ghat! The implications of this are - navy considers new york terrorists to be more dangerous than banglore terrorists??? :)<BR/><BR/>@nikhil<BR/>What effect will increased security have on the economy? interesting question. Short term they can be calculated but long term (when a whole generation of students will not be able to experience the wonder of research and will therefore not join it) cannot be measured.samudrikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14642454049950920872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18638043.post-1136295011615693742006-01-03T19:00:00.000+05:302006-01-03T19:00:00.000+05:30Hidden camera is a new way of terrorism.

Afterall it is their job and there is lot of competetion in the room.<BR/><BR/>What I have a doubt about is "Shall we take everything so seriously?" I mean the terrorists are not the people, who can be identified easily. The uprise in the pressure on the economy through this security upgradation(which is any way useless) covering every market place, every gali-chauraha is what they (unknown) want and we are helping them (without hope)!Nikhil Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16767986322658433061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18638043.post-1136292001537554692006-01-03T18:10:00.000+05:302006-01-03T18:10:00.000+05:30I remember after 9/11, the security was tightened ...I remember after 9/11, the security was tightened in Navy Nagar and the last stop of BEST Buses was pushed back close to Dhobi Ghat. Of course, nothing happened and when everyone forgot 9/11, the "security" was removed.<BR/><BR/>All these security attempts are useless and only common man (like Research Scholars of MEI/TIFR) suffer from it.
