So why did the terrorists bomb Jaipur yesterday? There is really no good answer to this question, for who knows why people do such senseless things. But Nitin speculates on some possible reasons for the timing.
2. Like B Raman has argued, the bombing was related to the tenth anniversary of Pokhran-II. That’s why they chose Rajasthan state. This was their way of sending a message that “you might have nukes, but you can’t stop us”. Such a message would be strategically pointless, because everyone knows that. Just like everyone knows that nuclear weapons have not stopped Naxalites, rapists, snatch thieves or drug smugglers either.
Personally, I think they did it (whoever “they” is) because they could, because India is a soft target.
