We need to convince every Muslim in India that we as Hindus are not a threat to them but they are just like any other citizens completely.
If they get convinced, we have killed terrorism at the root. We dont need technology.
That is one side and indeed very true. The 2nd perhaps more important is the very very urgent need for internal change in the moslem community. Madrassa reforms, wakf board democracy, stringent opposition to rabel rouser politicians, empowerment of women and this one goes to all relegious communities strictly no political activity in religious institutions. To be sure there are several sops made by politicians with an eye on vote banks which has given a handy stick to the madmen in the Hindu community (and a leg up to their counterparts in the moslem community) which needs to be removed. TheBJP with all their hoopla about exactly these things found it politically expedient not to do it. Recently Parsis were included in other backward classes. Boy I had a ball ribbing my Parsi friends. Then there is the matter of uniform civil code - a very ugly beast. There are other external factors too. But the 1st and 2nd will make terrorism in India a very difficult proposition.
