Terrorism and How to combat it The terrorist activities have scaled many times since their beginning. The terrorists have changed their method and mode of attack.Now a group of terrorists, equipped with destructive material , strike and attack each place of security. The police centers , the FIA buildings, the airports and GHQ, etc are not secure now. They are attacked and bombarded at any time. The educational institutions have become favourite places of attack for the terrorists. The main objective of the terrorists is to create panic and harassment in the public. The suicide attacks by the terrorists kill innocent men, women and children. When a suicide bomber strikes a place or a person , scenes of ghastly bloodshed are witnessed. The question arises how to tackle this issue. We are fighting terrorism on administrative level only. This is good in itself but this is not sufficient . We are launching operations against the terrorists I various regions. WE have rightly erected check posts. Strict measures have been adopted by the police and law enforcing agencies. All the government and public buildings have been made security proof. The educational institutions are strictly watched and guarded. The banks, the restaurants , the railway stations and bus stops etc are put to great vigilance. Many crackdown against the suspects have been launched. These measures are no doubt timely and have minimized the chances of terrorism but we have not been successful in tackling this issue. We cannot fight it successfully unless we combat it on ideological level. We must know that this wave of terrorism has come to our state after-. The America and Afghan war is the root cause of this war. Without going in details of the history , we can say that America has shifted the focus of war to Pakistan. All the militants trained in Afghanistan have been infiltrated into Pakistan. They have been trained and funded by America , India and Israel . There are evidences that Indian Agency RAW is directly involved in fueling the fire of terrorism. America has its own nefarious designs in this game. It wants to seize and control our nuclear weapons. We cannot succeed in combating terrorism unless we have a government with strong political will. It must refuse to fight a battle which has been imported. It should try to fight against the American influence in the country and in this way it can win the sympathy of public at large Secondly, we should adopt a uniform system of education. Our religious madrasahs have become nurseries for producing suicide bombers. Students coming out of thee institutions are ill suited and ill trained to plug into the system. They are hardly exposed to the outside world. An offer of a million rupees for becoming a suicide bomber is an attractive proposition for a young man. He cannot expect to earn this much money the whole of his life. We should try to re orientate our religious institutions. The suicide bombers come from areas which are backward and poverty stricken. Our religious institutions should be forced to impart modern , and worldly orientated education to the students. This will stop the birth of suicide bombers. We can combat terrorism at the public level also. Terrorism has entered every section of the society. It can be tided over without the active efforts and cooperation of the public
