It is interesting to see the huge flood of messages in this list after the comment on the police action. There is no doubt that people are dying in larger numbers due to non-terror related circumstances but these can be prevented if the individual is more educated about the dangers lurking, like hanging outside a train, finding practical means to pay back a farm loan, avoiding un-clean environments to fight diseases.
Hmmm. I think you have never been to a drought and starvation hit district.... But then that is another story altogether.
Neglect of backward areas is different from a terror strike.
Thats where the delivery boys come from. In the short term screwing the sponsoring organisation is ok. But if u dont get rid of the economic compulsion of marginalised people to participate in terror groups, new terror groups will replace the ones dismantled. We cant to do much about our neighbours economies but we can focus on the foibles of our policy makers
In short terrorism cant be neutralised with guns, training , banning etc. You require all of these actions together.
For the new comers: Terrorism was rampant in the late 60s and early seventies in the form of Naxalites. Some called them revolutionaries others terrorists.
