These days, we have season of terrorist attacks in India. The government is trying its best to curb the disease of terrorism but still we all are afraid. Let’s forget that think.

For the first time, in 1946 the rifle was presented for official military trials, and a year later the fixed stock version was introduced into service with select units of the Russian Red Army.

26 November 2008 Mumbai attacks, What next?
Poor Indians have survived one more terrorist attack. This time target was Mumbai, the most populated financial captial of India. There were a series of ten coordinated attacks on 26 November 2008 and ended on 29 November 2008 when Indian security forces finally regained control of all attack sites. In three days, around 200 people, including 22 foreigners have been killed and more than 400 have been injured. What I feel the possible reason of this attack is to check the growth of Indian economy. India’s economic growth has been the envy of nations like Pakistan and the attack could have been an attempt to divert the world’s attention from India’s growth and development.
