SIRASRI: “DROP DOLLARS BUT NOT BOMBS”

‘Mumbai Blasts’, ‘Hyderabad Detonations’, ‘Ahmedabad Explosions’, ‘Delhi Bombs’- The terms have been the frequent flashes in media. While government utters the statement ‘we condemn’, the opposition parties shout on government pointing out the flaws in intelligence department. And the citizens go panic and feel insecure. This entire procedure continues for a day or two and everybody forgets on the third day. Only the families those lose their members will be pushed into a life time grief.
 
Is there any permanent solution for terrorism?
Can anyone put and end for it?
Can Obama do that?
Can the Lord God do that?
Can humanity flash among terrorists?
Can anyone bring eternal peace in the world?
 
These questions sprout universally during such times.
 
When looked at answers-
For the first four questions, the answer is ‘NO’. And for last two, it’s ‘YES’.
 
Only ‘hunger free society’ can bring out humanity from terrorists. Only ‘money, opportunities to live and love’ can bring peace in the world.
 
When the world sees Afghanistan and African Countries as places for opportunities to live, things turn different. But the immediate measures cannot be taken by any. It should happen in course of time. Obama said that he would put and end for Osama in his tenure. We don’t know what his idea would be. If it were another war then we may see another worse recession.  Let America drop dollars on the lands of Afghanistan instead of bombs-The chances for waning out of terrorism will be bigger.
 
Rich communities hardly fight in the name of castes, sects, races and religions. World has been seeing the hunger stricken groups and poverty driven youngsters indulging into that. When there is ample source to live happily, none would like to bring down sorrow and hatred voluntarily. So, the world has to look into the problems of terrorists first. Can there be any groups those can appease terrorists with love and affection? Yes, ‘love may beget love’ as sane people say.
 
We are talking about terrorism and the same can be related to naxalism, that’s widely prevalent in AP. The people living in the villages around Warangal didn’t forget the fear created by naxals and police. They have been the victims of hatred between the two groups. But many among those people say that they are happy now as there are no big troubles from naxals like before. The violence among naxals has come down.  Notably, a good number of naxals are surrendering voluntarily to police for peaceful civil life. Who takes this entire credit? Can that be Chandrababu Naidu? Or will the laurel go to YSR? In fact, the combings, encounters and grey hound acts have been in vogue from many years. But how the naxalism waned out in recent years? The reason is ‘opportunities for living’.
 
In actual sense none can suppress extremism with force. None can eradicate it from the society with a mere will or rule. Neither police nor government can claim that they have suppressed naxals completely with their guns. Naxalism or terrorism has to wane out in course of time. Let us see what has affected the naxalism to wane down. In the last 10 years, there has been a tremendous growth in software industry and almost every below middle class family has a software employee who earned for family. The opportunities have also grown in bigger way even for illiterate youth in the form of office boys or security guards. When there is no scope for hunger, the seeds of extremism hardly grow. That way the naxal movement hasn’t added good number of youngsters to it. And the older-lot has waned out. Eventually the strength of the movement has gone weak. It’s only the love for children from parents and the love of government for people by creating opportunities to live would certainly wipe out any sort of extremism from grass root level. And the moral policing and ethical education would dilute the perversions of next generations in personal levels as well. 
 
‘Let the day come when
Talibans serve mankind like Mother Teresa
Let the day come when
Osama Bin Laden preaches non violence like Mahatma Gandhi
Let the day come when
Ulfas, Chekmas, Bodos, LTTEs and Naxals become the prophets of love’.
