In this article India Appeases Radical Islam from the November 27, 2007 edition of the Wall Street Journal, Sadanand Dhume addresses the UP courthouse bomb blasts and cites terrorist attacks that I have mapped: the August 2007 blasts in Hyderabad, the July 2006 train blasts in Mumbai, and October 2005 bomb blasts in Delhi.
He argues that "An increasingly radicalized neighborhood, fragmented domestic politics and a curiously timid mainstream discourse on Islam add up to hobble India's response to radical Islamic intimidation." Nothing new here for people who follow these issues, but the significance is that these issues are being addressed - however cursorily - in a prominent newspaper.
