How can we tackle the problem of Terrorism?
A common man thinks that it is the responsibility of the government to tackle the challenges posed by Terrorism. It is a general perception that an individual cannot do anything in order to solve this problem. After some thought, I came up with the following points which I as an individual can do to change the situation. I solicit more suggestions and opinions from the readers of this article:
As a common man I will do the following things to change the situation :
1) Encourage clean Politics
“Do not worry about those who have come through boats. Our forces can easily defeat them. WORRY about those who have come through votes.”
The real solution of terrorism lies with elected members. You have the only option to choose the worst people because the educated and cultured people of India are not too keen to join politics. I will spread awareness among the educated youth that ‘Politics’ is also a profession. If right people are at the right positions then certainly we can aim to match America where not a single terrorist incident has happened since the 9/11 attacks.
2) Support 2 Party System
The region-specific focus of local parties is fueling regionalism and as a result this great country is losing its unity and suffering bloody clashes. I will support the cause of two party system on the pattern of United States. Nowdays the regional parties break the votes as a result of which a stable government is not formed. Stable government is necessary in order to take concrete steps in combating terorrorism.
3) Lend my support to security guards in carrying out their duties
Be it in an airplane, a visit to a factory-location or even an IT campus, the security team do their ‘routine safety check’. Their job involves saving property damage and lives of many including the ‘self’. Security guards are often considered as an obstruction and waste of time by many individuals as a result of which people often quarrel with them. Hence the morale of the security men goes down. Security men always need to be on their toes. Therefore, I will fully cooperate with them . If need arises to factor in the time that’s required for this, I will depart early and be there ahead of time.
