Terrorism is a very complex problem, however, I don't agree with with Mr Das. I
think, even it the most complex problem ever faced in human history. I hope and
feel, can be solved. I have a five point agenda.
1. There is a great need for a system by which people learn by themselves.
For example, everybody in each corner of the earth knows what is the meaning of
RED, YELOW and GREEN traffic light signals.
2. Definitely, economic diversity is another biggest reason that drives
everything of people's need. As a result, richer country should take more
responsibility to bring the poor neighborhood/country to the same page or to a
certain level. Nobody wants a slum in front of his home. We should cultivate
this mentality to build a beautiful garden in front of everybody's house. We
know, good healthy plant, fertile soil and good care is the key to build a
beautiful garden, same way, to build a nice beautiful
society-->neighborhood-->state, we need healthy people, good environment
(social, political, economic, education) and continuous care.
3. We need a system to educate next generation with tolerance, good manner
and good citizenship and I think, organization like UN can take initiative to
establish a standard Global Uniform Standard Education System for all the
children in the globe.
4. Every country spends hundreds of thousands of money/resources in the name
of protecting their own country from enemy. If we analyzed who is
enemy?---The result is our most nearest neighbor in general. If we really see,
do we really need that much of protection from neighbor? I dont think so.
5. Every parents wants their sons and daughters to get good education, good
food, good health care and good living, and if we can established a system to
provide these things, I think, in next 20 years, world become peaceful and
happy and progressive. Now, if every country cuts 1-2% of military spending
and contributes for a Global Uniform Standard Education System this is easily
achievable. A simple story, when I was in primary school in my remote village,
my parents wanted me to go to nearby town school because it was better. Then
when I was study in city school, parents wanted me to go to Delhi and when I
was in Delhi, parents wanted me to go for higher study aboard. Is this the end
of everything? I dont think so. But if that is the case, can we effort same or
similar educational environment/facility to each and every child in the whole
world? If we can, I think, problem is solved for good.

people, who are the key players in
developing terrorism, are also human being. They have their
own 'emotions' and `ethics' for which they are adopting this fatal
mode. It can be because of various factors like difference in
ideologies, painful historical memories, discrimination and enmity
between organizations and nations. It the process of solving this
problem, we politicize it, and make the process complex and
difficult. Government system tries to suppress this with military
forces.
I conceive that decision making authority of government should look
into the terrorism `as a problem of human being', not merely as a
political problem. I believe that terrorism is the `state of mind of
human being, which has been emerging out of poverty, unemployment and
lack of strong moral education'. From the history of India, it seems
that poverty perpetuates poverty. As a resultant it leads the human
being to discrimination and deprivation. Subsequently because of weak
moral cognition, people become virulent; adopt lethal strategy
(terrorism) to get `what they do not have' in a very short span of
time.
Therefore, to solve terrorism problem we must educate the young
generation with moral education, empower them with economic
development and generate new avenues for employment. In fact to do
it, a `true democracy and effective administration will be required
in the country.
We should take it granted that `bullet can not solve terrorism. Every
bullet would be back fired. We need a `human approach to cope with
the menace.
