- Infiltration continues with a consistency more or less comparable to the last year;
- Camps inside Pakistan and PoK are back in operation;
- The war against terrorism has rendered India vulnerable to terrorist attacks.For instance, the attack on the US consulate in Calcutta is linked to New Delhi's support to Washington; there has been an alert that Goa could witness a Kenya-like attack;
- Domestic political compulsions have inspired parties to exploit the terrorism issue to communally polarise the population;
- US proclivity to accommodate Pakistan's strategic interests is growing;
- Pakistan-sponsored covert activities in neighbouring countries aimed at India have increased;
- The threshold for tolerance of terrorist attacks has gone up;
- The border mobilisation didn't undermine Pakistan's reach and access to targets.
- Nor has India's capability and infrastructure to deal with terrorism been enhanced.
