Hindu terrorism or evil propaganda?

Let me start this piece by asking what is the meaning of terrorism? As far as I know it’s a way of achieving a political or religious or some other mean by use of violence. It is a way of warning people that they would kill or hurt people if their demands are not met.
In the case of this so called Hindu terrorism what was the end of these so called terrorists. Was it to terrorize Muslims? Or was it to warn them? Or was it simply to take revenge? What of these motives has been satisfied by these so called terrorists? How would you terrorize Muslims if they don’t even know that these blasts were done by some Hindu Organization? How would you warn anyone if the person getting the warning doesn’t even who is warning them, why is he warning them and exactly against what are they getting warned? If it is to take revenge then what kind of revenge is this if the person doesn’t even know someone has taken revenge against him? Why did Sadhvi and her group did not take responsibility of this. Why didn't she used some phony Hindu organization to raise her demand if it was an act of terrorism?
Clearly this case does not satisfy any of the requirements of terrorism so it cannot be called terrorism. Even if Sadhvi Pragya is guilty then also we cannot call it Hindu terrorism at most we can call it crime committed by criminal minds but not terrorism. And by calling it Hindu terrorism media is defaming Hindus simply to improve their ratings.
