What Should India Do To Mitigate Terrorism From Within

First of all, as everyone says terrorism is a global phenomenon, entire world will have to take collective and unbiased decisions to tackle this menace. I have chosen a narrowed subject because the government machinery has comparatively smoother handling on internal management. The basic element in India which neither America nor England possess is the very big chunk of Muslim population. If you see NEWS channels' debates where Muslim experts are called to speak upon, would always 90% of their time, they fuel to prove that other religions and communities are equally terrorists and try making absolute definitions of terrorism. But the fact is, the most grave problem this country is seeing it "The ISLAMIC TERRORISM" undoubtedly. They name Hindu organisations' name like Bajarang Dal and say why not to ban them if the SIMI (Student Islamic Movement of India) is banned? There is a very clear logic behind this, that Bajarang Dal is not at all detonating bombs on our soil, there might be a few incidences that are illegal but if you check their roots, you will for sure find the acute reason of that illegal activity; for example Godhara riots, they happened because Muslim people gathered and preplanned a severe attack on Ram Bhakt Kaarsevaks who were returning from Ayodhya and burnt them alive by surrounding a train's boggy with a huge crowd chanting "Allah hu Akabar", they poured kerosin, petrol and other inflammable fuel while locking the doors from outside of the boggy and then burnt everyone alive. All bodies were unidentifiable, only one could see a mother lying on her baby, might be in a blind motherly hope of getting her apple of the eye intact, unfortunately cruel intentions as well as the fire couldn't discern on Her hopes and made a lump of both together. No human rights' people came at that moment, there wasn't any Testa Setalvad (sorry if name is misspelled), when the news spread, obviously it had to do damage to communal harmony and it did. That time my maternal uncle was also in Baroda, I had a chance to see Baroda, Ahmedabad and Surat, that was a gruesome time and it must not have happened, I severely condemn such riots, but one thing I must add, that I from my own eyes saw Muslim youths' mob burning a bolero (an S.U.V. brand) in which more or less 10 Hindus might be inside, the horrendous scenes of death. Since muslim community works as a vote bank and is rapidly increasing with their population growth rate so high, politicians take special interest in wooing them. Soon every media channel, print media were up against Hindu fundamentalists, they created an atmosphere that only Hindus are killing muslims, reality was, damage did take place from both sides. I saw from my own eyes how brutal muslims were and Hindus had to act many times just because of attacks on them. But I am strictly adding one thing here that I love Hindus and Muslims both equally, I write discerns when I see on television shows Muslim leaders and so called secularists talking about their communities' interests & aspects of the story and when some Hindu fundamentalists say anything, they are simply tagged as Communal! So now coming back to our main issue, we would have to clarify one thing very well and then determine on it that we want to mitigate any sort of "ISLAMIC TERRORISM" from our soil at any cost and then government agencies and machinery will have to work veraciously in this direction, if we be timid in naming things which cause us problem, then as a medical student I think there will be a very difficult course of treatment, simply this time our cause of problem are MUSLIM EXTREMISTS and SEPARATISTS, we will have to recognise them on each and every social fora and I would urge my Muslim brothers and sisters that act against such devils who spoil the Holy name of Quran. Stand united against them, if they come to your house for shelter, then show them the peaceful path of life, if they don't change, throw them away, act equally hard towards them. There should not be anyone on our soil, residing here and chanting names of Pakistan, or trying to deteriorate the social structure of this great nation by misguiding youths and children. The main issue which I raised through this article is to recognize the trouble first, and for Muslim leaders, don't always try to blame others, you all know who are the real culprits, have refinement in yourself. Invoke the feeling of love and affection towards all other religions as well, else you will always be the cause of trouble around the world. Government must now empower law enforcement agencies with strict anti terror laws and be proactive with all sorts of logistics and intelligence gathering. Bharat Mata Ki Jai.
