A crash course in changing the world.
"The background:
"2008 Bangalore serial blasts occurred on July 25, 2008 in Bangalore, India. A series of nine bombs exploded in which two people were killed and 20 injured. According to the Bangalore City Police, the blasts were caused by low-intensity crude bombs triggered by timers.
Bangalore is the information technology hub of India with more than 40% of the country's IT and software industry based there. India already suffered from a similar series of blasts in Jaipur, in May 2008.
The Times of India has reported that either the banned organization Students Islamic Movement of India or the militant organization Lashkar-e-Toiba could be behind these blasts. The Intelligence Bureau is not ruling out the involvement of these organisations, however the police maintain that it is too early to attribute blame to anyone."

India is, so V.S. Naipaul says, the land of a thousand mutinies now, just waiting to explode, and communal riots are one of the disasters that strike suddenly on the flimsiest of pretences sometimes with no one verifying the facts. In 2010 I think that if a communal riot broke out with both sides to blame and not to blame, for a third world country like India disaster managment wold come not through things like ushahidi but through mobile phones, internet, tv and yes mainly fm radio."
