What is Terrorism? Terrorism is the use of fear and acts of violence to fear the government and the common people. Terrorists do not believe in the force of argument, they believe in the argument of force. They do not believe in negotiations and table-talks. All they believe in is guns, bullets and bombs.
What causes terrorism? There are many factors behind its birth. It may arise out of the frustration and humiliation of a certain group of people who seek revenge against the government. Unemployment, poverty, religious ideological misinterpretations, political inclusiveness, they all contribute in the birth of terrorism.
The developed countries of the world should take up the responsibility to eliminate terrorism from this beautiful planet. But, have you ever seen the scenario like that? No.. History is the evidence which have seen the developed countries of the world classifying terrorism as 'Good Terrorism and Bad Terrorism '. Such deeds can never be justified as terrorism can never be good.
Terrorism is sponsored by some countries against their enemy counties. The policy of 'Enemy's enemy is a friend' is still used. We could have diminished the terrorism a lot earlier had it not been sponsored by some so called developed countries.
Terrorism is not an issue just for some peace-loving nations like India. In fact it is a serious threat to the whole humanity. India is facing terrorism right since the independence. The recent Uri Attack can never be forgotten. It is regarded as one of the most deadliest terrorist attacks on India in these 2 decades. Efforts should be made to isolate those countries globally which support terrorism.
But still the question is the same, that is, ' How can we kill terrorism?' I think the most common or a popular answer by you will be probably killing the terrorists. But would killing the terrorists kill the terrorism completely and totally? No. It would even promote it. It is rightly said, 'You can kill a person at once, but it takes ages to kill an ideology '.
We Should try to kill those factors which promote terrorism. Let's promote education to kill terrorism. Let's promote development to kill terrorism. Let's promote employment to kill terrorism. Let's kill illiteracy to kill terrorism.
And MALALA YOUSUFZAI rightly said, "With guns you can kill Terrorists, with education you can kill Terrorism. "
So let's promote education along with moral principles and ethics to eliminate terrorism and make this planet a better place to live in !!!!!!
