The recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai seem to have shaken not only India but the entire world. Just few years back, terrorists attacked USA on 9/11 and killed thousands of people. No one knows how many people had been killed by the western forces to revenge the death of their innocent people. There are 934 people dying every day due to natural deaths which includes
If we add the number of people dying every day in India due to medical illness, poverty, hunger, cold etc i.e. due to man made causes, the number of unnatural deaths may be many thousands times that of the numbers of people dying due to terror.
Thus logically, terror may not be the biggest killer of people even in the countries affected by terrorism. Yet it shakes the humanity due to the inhuman way, a terrorist kills the innocent people.
The act of terrorism also shakes the faith of an ordinary human being in God as he wonders, what is He doing when innocent people are being killed?
Terrorism, having seed in the hatred, creates tremendous hatred in the world. People just can not adjust with the idea of love and compassion against the terrorists.
The first requirement for any understanding in man is to have faith in God and Man.
Terrorism is an attack on the society and not on the individual.
Millions of innocent birds are killed even before the first man gets infected from Bird Flue. Millions of innocent Kangaroos are killed to protect man in a country.
Man has acquired virtually all lands and forests and water bodies of the earth for its sole use as if Lord has created only for man for Earth.
Millions of people were killed in the wars to satisfy one person’s quest of power in last century. While no one has the right to judge their “rights”, they can judge everyone’s right.
Scriptures: The Path to Happiness
God is one (Do not fight in the name of God). 2. God is present in all beings (Show compassion to all lives). 3. Love all people and feel compassion for all living being (Do not hate). 7. Shun violence (Respect Other’s Views).
o People do not believe in the God of others.
The Root of Terrorism
Terrorism is a weapon of the weak who can not fight the might of the State power. Hence the weak demonstrate their power by killing the citizens of the powerful enemy.
The entire Arab world rejoiced at this incident.
Terrorism or other crimes can be eliminated from this world only if the humanity is able to rise above greed, inequality, injustice that is perpetrated by the modern world against the weak and poor people.
World As Family
In answer to this question lies the solution of terrorism.
Terrorism – The Symptom of a Serious Social Disorder
Frankenberger and McCaston (n.d.) describe livelihood security as “adequate and sustainable access to income and resources to meet basic needs (including adequate access to food, potable water, health facilities, educational opportunities, housing, time for community participation and social integration).” The sole objective of the First Green Revolution was “to increase total food production to save people from starving.”
(Rogers et al, 2009, p. 74).
Even though overall food production increased, the income disparity between rich and poor increased as well. “Centralized agricultural research , development, and extension systems or universal policies that would be applicable universally do not work to improve land productivity” (Rogers et al, 2009, p.76).
Moreover, the G2R preserves the objectives of the GR, increasing aggregate food production, while doing it in a more sustainable manner.
