On the midnight of 18-19 February 2007, India-Pakistan Samjhauta Express train was bombed in which 68 people were killed, including at least 42 Pakistanis who were among the victims of the Hindu terrorist attack.
A Hindu extremist Sadhu Aseemanand Swami, alias Naba Kumar Das, a leader of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) had confessed that he was involved in several bombings incidents. He also claimed to have been a part of the Samjhauta Express blast.
In fact, ideology of Hindutva (Hindu nationalism) prevails in every field at the cost of other minority groups. It is even supported by Indian defense forces secretly. This could be judged from the incident, when on April 6, 2008 in the house of Bajrang Dal fundamentalists in Nanded, a bomb went off. The investigation proved that these militants were found in the bomb-making and attack on a mosque in Parbhani in 2003. Maharashtra’s Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested a serving Lt. Col.
