Terrorist attacks leading to ruthless killing and panic among the people are on a rise throughout the world, which is a serious case for concern. Moreover, when it comes to attacks on religious shrines and areas, devotees become more emotional and violent, resulting in a frightening situation. Over the centuries there were many attacks on the religious structures and pilgrimage sites in India, ranging from lighter ones to major. Let us have a look at some of the famous Indian temples which were hit by terrorist attacks-
Akshardam Temple
The temple of Akshardam in Gandhinagar of Gujarat was attacked by two heavily armed terrorists in the year 2002, which resulted in the death of 29 devotees and more than 80 devotees were injured. They entered the temple with hand grenades and started firing, killing a woman and a temple volunteer immediately. There were about 600 devotees in the temple during the time and the quick action of the temple authorities avoided any further attack. The security forces killed the two terrorists in an operation the same night. After 8 years of the incident David Headley, an associate of Lashkar-e-Taiba confessed to the National Investigation Academy that an LeT terrorist named Muzammil was behind the attack.
2: How sarcastic it is to read the comments "Almost everyone is writing about misleading title", everyone seems to have offended and suggest it was not us(Hindus) it was they(Muslims). Come on guys, think for a minute, terrorism is a problem regardless of religion. No body seems to address the terrorism as a problem itself, rather all of you are over-reacting to the title of the post. It is ironical to read, the way you are just offended by the title of this post. The same way Muslims get offended if you label them with "terrorists". You can't even give a 2 digit percentage figure about the terror acts committed by Muslims, then please remain silent and stop Islamophobia. It is better to address the issue of terrorism with united concern, shared responsibility and equal human values. If you truly a believer, you already know that each soul is precious in the eyes of God, only how you behave, think and act will let you be judged by him.
3: i think you should contact those terrorist and give them a lesson that all religions are same. if bin laden was alive we could have fixed a meeting with him and may be you could have convinced him to end what they are doing .
4: Change the title.I blame congress government in general and particularly Mr.Chidambaram,who failed as home minister,fool still not learn any lesson and trying bring COMMUNAL AND TARGETD VOILENC ACT 2012 to send all Hindus jail.They failed misarably to teach lessons to paki pigs.
5: Your news paper is a shameless publickly lying news paper. In your racist moments you write that the terrorist attacks on hindu pilgrimage centers are by hindus when it is known that those hindu pilgrim places were attacked by muslim terrorist.
9: Hey ! who ever is writer .. dont try to pull readers with fishy headline but the interesting content better change the headline. i know it your right to write but it not good to hurt or mislead the religious sentiment with your writing. A humble request change the head line....
10: All these attacks are on Hindu places of worship by Muslim Terrorists. Your headline is misleading. It should have read" Muslim Terrorists' attack on Hindus on the raise"
16: The solid proof that Hindu are not attackers is that the animals like you still exist in India and they can speak like that shit. Actually,rather than speaking on this, you should worry for the churches in christen countries where no christian is coming after knowing the true face of christianity !
28: It should be ' Terror attacks on Hindu pilgrim spots." Some mischief monger has changed the Head line. I feel editors will be wise enough to accept their folly

34: Why can't ur MISLEADING headline say that truth that this is Islaamic Terror. This is the reason why Hindus in this nation are suffering because of this cruel and unjust one sided secularism.
