The current events which are occurring in India give the one more synonyms to festival: terror attack.From the past 3-4 years, India becomes a victim of blast on several occasions. From poor to rich people, everybody seems to show his concern about this horrendous act. But if we look back at history, these terror attacks was around us since 1947 in Kashmir but people(except native people of Kashmir) wasn’t concern about these attacks because it wasn’t affecting their personal life
It is a normal tendency of human being that he won’t react to any incident unless and until he somehow, relates himself with the incident. Now after this serial blasts everybody seems to relate himself with it. And that is why; so many peace rallies can be seen after this disaster. But where were these people when a no. of innocent aam janta died in Kashmir on several occasions.
Indian government never admitted Kashmir as a disputed territory, thus it had seen a bloodshed event in valley like a normal routine of daily life. Kashmir valley terrorism has a different face; it is operated by a kashimiri mujahidin backed up by Pakistan. It is a war of land, war of people but the blasts in various locations of India are not a result of war of land, the prime motive of these attacks is inspired by a religion, now it is not anymore about Kashmir.
One Question which strikes to everybody’s head that what is the objective of terrorist?
To get the answer of this Question, we need to look back at world’s history. Mahmood Gajnavi has attacked in India for 17 times and every time he destroyed the Hindu temple, particulary the Temple of Somnath. Hitler had killed more than 6 million Jews, the most atrocious act world has ever seen. Why did they do? They did it because they believe in extremism. Extreme fundamentalists always want to get power so thatthey can spread their belief. Taliban is the extreme wing of Islam and the only thing that they want is to spread their belief at any cost. But are they only terrorist who threats the unity and dignity of India? You must have come across this famous dialog from shoot on sight: “All Muslims are not terrorists but all terrorist are Muslims” This dialog seems to be true, but if we look at broad sense this statement is one side of terror; it is partially true. The recent attacks in christen at the different regions of India give enough proof of Hindu extreme fundamentalist. Aren’t they terrorists? Extremism is irrespective of religion. But Lets stick to focus on only Muslim terrorists. 9/11 attack on US, 7/7 attack on London, the recent bomb blasts and terror attack on Mumbai are elusive evidence of a new face of terrorism which is not confined to line of control. The new breeds of fundamentalist are raising their heads who believe in extremism and to serve their purpose they can go beyond any limits
Now the very next question arises that are we able to stop them?
Yes, we can. Blasts in various locations happened because they get support from few local perpetrators. Somehow, if Indian government make people to be loyal then this problem can be solve up to some extent, but expecting this from Indian government is like throwing stones in sea. Neither the sea will fill up by stones nor the stock of stones will end. The other way to tackle this problem is to ensure the proper safety measure. But saying this can’t measure the gravity of action. To implement the safety measures, it requires the transformation of the government. One can’t expect it to happen overnight, government needs to implement more stringent law and order.
I remember the lines from Wednesday; nashuriddhin shah introduced himself as a stupid common man. We all are stupid common men who are watching the live action movie where one day we can be the part of it. Either as a victim of attack or raising our voice against them.
very thought provoking review...especially the last paragraph...... very true what you said "It is a normal tendency of human being that he won't react to any incident unless and until he somehow relates himself with the incident"
There are certain things that need to be understood.First,terrorism was NOT there in Kashmir since 1947.Terrorism fir surfaced in kashmir in 1991 out of protest for the rigged elections in 1988.Second,Hitler didnt kill jews purely for ideological reasons.One primary reason was also that jews were the richest community in Europe.From the top it appears that all these battles are ideologically oriented,but in hindsight the real reason is greed.Have u noticed nething about the blasts that have happened across India in the last one year?All of them were in the Rediff list of the fastest growing and most income generating cities.If terrorists were to attack purely on the basis of ideology,they would have attached Haridwar or Kedranath or Puri.Ghazni attacked somnath temple for its huge treasure chest.Money matters,and with money comes power,and where there is power there will be enemies.Greed is what causes these jihadis to attack india;not extreme fundamentalism.In some ways Barack Obama's comment that when people are poor and unemployed they cling to guns and religion is correct.This is precisely happening with these jihadis.The real solution to terrorism is not intel improvement or laws like POTA;it is empowerment of the poor,giving them strength so that they can create the happinesses of life.Then u will see,terrorism will die a quiet death.
If you consider terrorism with the proper group like LeT then it was not certainly there before 1991. But I hope u must have heard about kashmiri mujhahiddhin group which is exsited long before LeT kind of group. In the Indian context they are still called terrorist thus they call themselves as a freedom fighter. Your second point abt Hitler that the primary reason to kill jews was money cann’t justify the killing of 6 milllion jews. Hitler was a part of german army during the 1st world war. After the 1st world war germany was facing so many restrictions by other European countries. He was the one who brought Naziasm , it was his ideology, because of it his followers crosses the limit of all cruelity. It wasn’t just about money. Your third point about the terrorism in India, any minded people would purely try to break the economy of country, regaining the economic stability is much difficult compare to restructuring the temples. Your next point about Ghazni that he attacked somnath temple purely for money is partially true because Invader like Ghazni killed all male and left female to expand his religion. I don’t think I need to mention that how did he do that. And yes I m completely agree with Barrack Obama’s comment. About the POTA law , I never mention that POTA is sufficient to handle terrorism, I demand for stringent law, which comes only by the transformation of Government and how government can transform that u will see in my next blog.
Ooops.... someone's thinking. So am I. Hv been visiting Muslim kajority places in kolkata n trying 2 change views. I liked ur article... but u need to work on the grammar part at few places. Not tht it matters wen d main purpose is something much bigger... Keep up d good work. Cya soon.
I agree with raptor. Greed, discontent and humiliation turns a common peace loving man into terrorist. People are greedy, more than money for love and respect and acceptance as an individual.
Many people tip waiters or people who provide them services. But if you treat them nicely and politely giving them respect they feel more happy.
