What's the hype about terrorism, what's it about being a terrorist. Is there a terrorist within me, the auto driver who dropped me home, the lady who gave me a lift back from work, yeah we all had some or the other kind of terrorists chained within us. What's that makes me different from terrorist, for that we'll have to define a terrorist, there are different ways of going about defining anything, Like sex being defined as a divine act, carried out at the peak of love by someone and a mere act to ensure that the biological craving hits the brake through the eyes of another one.
Yeah a terrorist for any average Indian must be based out of Kashmir, should pelt stones and to the min pull the fuse of detonators. I would say a terrorist is someone who actually believes in a cause, is committed to see a change in the current plight and spilling blood is the last thing he is worried about. Say for the fun of it let's ask this question to ourselves, is there a cause that we believe in that we could die for, spill a drop of blood for,( Spare money, sex, clothes and booze) though we love all these, am sure we would still not risk a cut or a bruise for these. If there is an eligibility test for us to become terrorists, or the some called inhuman bunch, will we ever crack it, the basic qualification being passionate or committed for a selfless cause.
How many of us would have actually fought a fight for a hapless one, how many of us actually have a reason for doing what we do, Do we ever think above ourselves, our needs and wants, would we ever climb the second tier on maslow's hierarchy, terrorism is far ahead cause we do not have time to think, to believe, to feel for a cause or to live for something selfless. Aren't our motivations too frugal, aren't we the so called civilized bunch trapped into a flow that we never would even think of breaking off. Or is it that we never went through enough agony to think above us, Why would I ever share food till I know how does hunger feel like !!!!!!. I can never believe the fact that someone becomes a suicide bomber cause he was in poverty, Mohamed Atta, was not in poverty when he crashed the twin towers, he had enough to live, I would say there is corruption in terrorism as well, but then there are wounds, bruises that makes these youngsters come on the streets, am sure that motivation is hardly monetary.
The kids in Kashmir are pouring their blood out on the street, they are educated and whatever the forces behind them are, am sure they are ticked off, how long could you be in a state of anarchy, how long could you tolerate elderly men disappearing from the village, how much would you like it when you have to Salute a South Indian or a Sardar holding a sten gun, every time you pass by to buy a pack of cigarettes. Don't we have political honchos next door who bring much more frugal fights on to the streets and still go unnoticed or untagged. They get to fight elections and be part of coalitions, they get protection and continue threatening our rights. As it's said it's declared a mistake on the basis of who's the actor and not the act.
