Having grown up and lived in Britain for most of my life under terror threats (the IRA, the INLA, the Sons of Glendower, the Scottish Nationalist Army, the Animal Liberation Army and most recently Al-Qaeda and its' spin-offs) I have the unfortunate privilege of speaking from long years of experience.An immediate reaction to clamp down and Kill the lot are normal, natural and entirely understandable. Unfortunately experience has taught us they are also wrong.

During the Empire that was often the response to "Local Difficulties" as it was called at the time and it taught us that all it does is aggravate the problem.

Instead we have found that the process to defeating them starts with under-reaction. The most important thing is to keep life as normal as possible. The Terrorists are seeking disruption, the more disruption the achieve the more powerful they seem. The more powerful they seem the easier it is to recruit more terrorists. Deny them the first of these and they seem weak and all that could follow fails to appear.

Next it is important to generate trust with the majority of the population in their Sect/group. This makes it harder to recruit and without recruits terrorist groups die.

Lastly the Security forces have to be trusted. Catching Terrorists takes time and guile. The Security forces can often seem to be doing nothing. That can be a deliberate policy to let the terrorists become over confident and make mistakes. I am sure countries in the Commonwealth like the UK are already advising and helping the Indian government do what it needs to do.

One additional thought, Terrorists often plan spectacular events like these to happen in twos or threes to make the government look weaker than it is, themselves look stronger than they are and provoke the over-reaction I first wrote about. They my even have planted sympathisers (Agent Provocateurs) in communities to exploit these events by shouting down the voice of reason and inciting over-reaction. Be prepared and don't listen to the voices which cry for instant revenge, no matter how much you want to. It'll be exactly what they want.

Hi suneel,

I completely understand your emotion. The amount of hardship we have seen in recent days, its no surprise to see such kind of reaction from most of us.

But suneel don’t you think “An eye for an eye will make whole world blind”
Being a terrorist to eradicate terrorism can’t be a solution.

What do you think??

Thanks for your reply.. Really appreciate your concern towards to country

regards

Very True Neil ..Returning back to normal life without speculating their atrocious act may weaken them.
But Remaining silent may not Uncompensated the loss. Many innocent lives have bared testimony for their cruelty.

Thanks for your in-depth view on the issue. Their may some reason behind their horrifying attitude, if we can sort out that or help them clear their misconception. May be it can be solved to some extend..
What do u think sir?

Last night around midnight I opened my computer cause I felt the need to write about these atrocities. I was coming home late from work when I heard about these terrorist acts and I couldn't just stay quit. It is outrageous, so many innocent people killed again! Then I thought that I can't change anything, that maybe as Shiny said we may be given them what they want - publicity- and I changed my mind.
I am although going to write about it now cause I can't just pretend it didn't happen. I can't just not think about all those people massacred for nothing, never having a chance to defend themselves. How cruel can this be?
Suneel, I understand your strong emotions and your will to revenge but believe me, we've had a revolution years ago in Romania and we proudly killed our president and her wife in front of the whole world on television. My generation is now ashamed of that. Acting irrationally and cruelly like they do make us look alike and killing them in this manner serves their purpose and makes them martyrs in the eyes of their disciples, often very young and easy to influence.

Thanks for sharing your view claudia.. i hope we dont get carried away by our emotion & take any extreme step that make our next generation ashamed of us in future.

Thanks again..
