To the People and PM of India!

I want to write a letter to the Prime Minister of India..

Its been just 2 days since the attack on Mumbai has seized down and I switched on my t.v. today. I wanted to have a glimpse of what can be the immediate effects and remedies reported. All i see is securities along the border and coast being tightened, Maharashtra CM asked to resign and who will replace him, a few video clips of the terror attacks, even Kiran Bedi suggesting all major buildings be checked time upon time.

But.. will this really 'stop' terrorism? I mean India is a huge country, sharing borderlines with many, and a pretty big coastal line. Is it really practical to always be on highest security alert? After 9/11 we all know those terror organizations out there have real smart people! No, am not saying we should not sit on our butts and do nothing about it.

On the contrary, till we dont understand 'how' and 'why' terrorists are born... we can do nothing about it!!! Till you dont know the cause of disease and pull it from its roots.. no matter how strong your immune system is, it will still break through and get you... a disease like terrorism definitely will.

I wonder why isnt this topic ever brought up? Definitely there is a cause, and most likely a more psychological one.

These terror groups would probably have 5% of people creating this for influence, power and money. But 95% are the ones suppressed, frustrated, angry with the world for themselves and their families being tormented over years... reasons could be many... oppressed by their own country, false promises, corruption, etc. We see how the people of Kashmir, north eastern states, borders along Pakistan have suffered over the years. They want security, growth and freedom. Its their right and the government's duty to provide them so.

At an individual level, they are our people, and hence we too are liable to them. We see injustice and stay quiet, thinking its not our job. Well, it is. If the government did not take the right steps, we should have. Just like today we understand and accept that we as citizens of one nation we need to unite together against terrorism. Well we should have done the same for our people.

These are the people, from all over the world, taken in my a few militans, brain washed and transformed against their own people. See with what minds they attack, with no fear of death, to kill till they die. Surely, no normal person will do that.

The issue of terrorism is deeper beyond hyping security systems. To give our children a pro peace world, we need to burn it out from the grass root.
