BECOME A TERROR-IST TO KILL A TERRORIST ! PART-1
63 bomb blasts in 7 states over 7 months. Thursday's bombs were the the most powerful this year in Assam.
This will deepen the fear phychosis that has grippled people following the frequency of terror attacks across the country. In the past few years, we have seen Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Delhi, Mumbai and Jaipur devastated by attacks of growing intensity. It would seem that no sooner are the fires put out at one terror attack site, that the next one is upon us. Irrespective of who is behind these outrages that have taken the lives of so many innocent people and maimed so many others, the chilling fact is that they are increasingly polarising society. Communities have become suspicious of each other, ethnic groups are pitted against eah other and political parties are at each other's throats.
The so called resilience with which people would pick themselves up and get on with the business as usual is being stretched to breaking point. But there is no excuse for our political leadership to exploit each tragedy as an opportunity for one-upmanship. Those perpetrating these terror attacks seem to understand how divided our polity is on this issue and are taking advantage of this.
At a time when the very social fabric of the nation is under threat, political parties have to put aside differences and send out a signal that those who have taken innocent lives will be hunted down and brought to book.
Tomorrow i will write about the efficacy of the " Cat " system of Police, counter- terrorist operations, which can to a large extent, eradicate the terrorism in our country. These are unconventional tactics to locate terrorists and neutralise them. Unusual circumstances, demand unusual methods. These tactics have been successfully deployed by a few countries, where terrorism was rampant, and they have been able to neautralise terrorists to quite an extent.

you had turned towards philosophy in past few days, instead of " kucch karo " pages. Today, it seems you have come back to your old kucch karo mission.
Dear Deepak,
Due to festive mood of Diwali, i did'nt want to write anything, which offended the present system. As we all were in festive mood, it was not appropriate to write some harsh pages, which i have been writing so far. Thus, the " inner voice " pages were written by me.
These days, becoming a terror-ist needs much courage, which (I think), many people don't have (including me, I accept).
Therefore, it is difficult to conrol these blasts. Now it has been turned a normal thing in every two months for most people.
Dear Saurabh,
I differ to agree with you. If US, UK, Russia and many western countries can stop the reoccurence of the bomb lasts, then why cant we in India ? ONLY thing required is the " WILL " of the govt. to do so. If you give image of a soft state to all the terrorists, which we have given, bomb blasts cant stop. But if we kill 3 terrorists against 1 civilian killed, this will send a strong signal to them. I will discuss it , in my blog.
Your point of view is thinkable. However, UK, US and Russia are developed countries and India is a developing country. That’s why this terror-problem persists in India and not in UK and other countries.
Terrorism has become a worlwide problem. With the kind of blasts happening in our country , which has terrfied the nation so much. This is one topic chachu which you must raise at the summit you are going to. Terrorism has become a part of our daily life that we are all getting used to . To tell you the truth its ironic now we hardly react to it also...earlier when the first blast happened the whole nation was glued to their tv sets grieving with the sufferes, now it happening almost regularly i see no one reacting to it. its just a one minute news on tv channels, one minute of sympathy...its sad.. but true
all the best for your summit..keep your good work & u ll reach places.
Dear Lavi,
You have been my anchor, throughout and i thank you for that. Had you not supported me, when i was in a fix to carry on with the blog, or leave it, you came to my rescue. All thanks to you, that i carried on with my blog and today, i have been invited by a leading NGO, to attend their 1st summit to be held on 18th & 19th nov.2008. I will surely take up the topic of terrorism during interactive session at the summit.
