When would we get rid of terrorism

The blasts on thirteenth of September in Delhi at Connaught Place, Karol Bagh, Greater Kailash and near Barakhamba Metro Station claimed more than 23 lives while some 110 were injured. This was the fourth major attack in past six months after Jaipur, Bangalore and Ahmedabad. A juvenile group called Indian Mujahiddin took the responsibility of these blasts. Till now the police had suspected Lashkar-E-Taiyeba and HuJi and said that perhaps Indian Mujahiddin is the changed name of one of these terrorist groups. Unfortunately the laziness of police claimed several innocent lives yesterday in the peak hour of shopping and fun when most of the people flock out of their homes. Police, slow as usual failed to track the source of fault while it is clear that this institution has been threatening us to target the big cities in which the Delhi comes first. After juddering three prime cities of the nation once again they succeeded in proving that police is police, we come after them in ignorance. While the shoulder of police should be patted, we should be given ignorance award.

How is it that despite our eyes open we fail to read the signs of uncommon behaviour, despite being warnings issued by government we shrug off them as mere instructions as if we have nothing to do with them. It is us, who load the ‘best’ police of India with the expectations and turn back again to shopping. Our shallow observations and so-called careful behaviour send strong signals to them, which makes us an easy prey. We have lost at least 70,000 lives in terrorist attacks till now but our loose reactions every time to these makes them interpret that we are weak. After 11 September 2001 incident Americans became excessively cautious of their security infrastructure. From training their cops to installing CCTV cameras and tightening their security they did everything, which could detect any susceptible element which could possess any threat to them. Preventing any terrorism in their reign made them concerned about the national security. Moreover terrorism became their main concern after that jolt which we still have not be able to highlight even after suffering so many attacks and sacrificing so many civilians. The third grade police who wield lathi religiously are going to contribute nothing to our pathetic security system. Swaying lathi like a madman would not do any aid. Also our eyes remain glued to flat-50% sales when we stroll in markets never paying attention to the isolated objects and susceptible people roaming around. (Now it’s time to read Allan Pease’s Body Language so that we could identify the basics of human behaviour). There are no strong laws against preventing terrorism and no new technology.

Every time terrorists mock us by fulfilling their promise to target new cities And look at us! After every attack and a new cat and dog chase we give up and go to our beds rather than sharpening our vigil and our security. Why not to learn a crucial lesson from US at least in this topic? The response in bits will make their intentions fly (and later make us cry). This is a very crucial time when we must realize their harmful intentions. The harmony of our people is on stake. Tourism will suffer as a result of all this and development will hinder if we still did not pay attention to this. Thorough investigation and eagle eyes would heal this wound, which refreshes every time terrorism spreads its feet.It is a dangerous demon which should be killed before it spreads its claws and gulp us.
