Timeline: Attacks on India

While I was reading this news in one of the Middle East online newspaper called Gulf News a thought sprung up in my mind as to "am I a citizen of such a vulnerable nation which is prone to frequent bomb attacks by terrorits, communal roits on the name of religion and moreover attack on parliament.......what picture does these news articles give to the international community about my nation...am I proud of being an Indian...leave alone proud...may be, but when can I be proud...when I am safe and alive....am I safe in in my own country with very frequent chaos happening......
