The Indian link in the UK attack will affect the country's image.

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/specialcoverage/2181994.cms

Indians going abroad must keep in mind the fair name and a clean record of our country. Nothing in their conduct must reflect even a shadow of our neighbor, Pakistan. The Indian services sector has painstakingly established a fine reputation for the country all over the globe. It has taken them decades of honest hard work to get to this point. Any immature act under misguided notions of a subverted philosophy can do unimaginable damage to our reputation and image.

Besides, the IT and ITES services contribute almost 50% to the country's GDP; which in turn adds to the economic prosperity of India and Indians. It would be a shame if a few individuals bring to naught the sincere efforts of millions of Indians toiling away from home.

Indeed ... I should say though, that this blog too has not "officially" condemned the acts of the Indians involved in the Glasgow bombing attempt.

We are often judged by our actions rather than our beliefs or words. Perhaps this blog should dedicate an special entry condemning the participation of our fellow-Indians (?).
