The white ants....

The White Ants…
A song by Fuzon, a Pakistani band says
Are ruk jaa re bande...
Are tham jaa re bande...
Ke kudrat hans padegi ho…
It means Stop! Take a look around you and you will be surprised to see even God is laughing at your plight.
That is what terrorism is doing to us. It is gnawing into our society slowly, the result eventually being a ghastly one. It’s not what the government or what your neighbour thinks it is about what you think, how you can change the scenario.
According to a recent survey by the Reader’s digest magazine most of the countries expressed a serious concern towards growing terrorism in the world.
It is not an alien topic to us, and our country has a lost a lot because of this rising problem. Terrorism has been a problem in India since independence and the condition hasn’t changed ever since.
How safe are we? Is the government doing anything? When will these terrorists be caught? All these questions always loom over our heads. The question actually is,
What is the reason for the growing rate of terrorism?
One of the main reasons according to a poll conducted is jihad or religion. Well that is not quite the truth. According to the Holy Koran jihad is a process of cleaning the impurities first within you and then around you. Terrorists’ are humans too but we have all started looking at them from a negative point of view. Yes, they have always desired destruction but have we ever thought about why?
It will not be right to call them saints either.
The Godhra riots, the serial bomb blasts in Mumbai in 2006 and the serial blasts in the first class compartments in local trains in Mumbai do not leave us with a strong feeling of security.
Every time you see the media coverage of these calamities you wonder about the very existence of the feeling of humanity.
Every time I clamber into a local train I’m suspiciously looking at the bags around me wondering if any of them has a bomb. Funny as it may sound but I’m sure my sense of insecurity has something to do with the serial bomb blasts.
Terrorism does not affect a nation economically or politically but emotionally as well.
Have you ever wondered how many mothers lost their sons, how many wives lost their husbands, how many children lost their parents in these terrorist activities. The number is unbelievable. Terrorism has to be stopped at its inception.
Our government system does not do too much to stop these terrorists too, not doing too much to gain our trust.
Let’s make a promise to ourselves today. Let’s fight terrorism in our own small way. Let’s pay a little more attention to the activities around us.
Let us save humanity. I am sure if each one tries eventually we will have a safe and secure world to live in and we will leave our future generation with a sense of security.
