Is India a soft target for terrorism? Why only India?

They say behind every action of a human being, there has to be a motive. Good or bad; there is always a desire for something in return. Understanding the motive explains the action. It is the motive that labels the action as good or bad.

Recently there were a series of Blasts in the Pink city, Jaipur. A lovely, serene and colorful evening was turned into hapless mass of flesh and blood. So meaningless. A shame onto religions and so called civilized societies. Every Indian today has many questions. To which there are no answers:

  • Who are the people behind this act of terrorism?
  • What is their motive?
  • Why are they targeting the Indian cities?
  • Is India emerging as the the new terrorism brain-center in the world?
  • Are they so strong that all Intelligence agencies have failed to nail them down?
  • Why has terrorism become so easy in India in the past decade? When our own defense spend has only gone up?
  • My ultimate question is why India??????

I believe terrorism without a dialog is so meaningless. Killing innocent people without establishing a cause for it is nothing but fanaticism. Why don't these people who call themselves the freedom fighters come out in the open and emphatically establish their demands? In the first place who are they to make any demand of this nation?

While it may sound clichéd, no religion preaches killing innocent people. I strongly condemn this act of terrorism in India and across the World. Let us come out in the open and strongly stand against this act of cowardice.

My message to these nameless, faceless people who call themselves the freedom fighters .....Brave people fight hard and they fight fair. Using religion as a smoke screen to kill innocent people is not brave. Let not your actions bringing shame and criticism to you religion and community. Please, let not the World hate Islam and the Muslims because of your actions. It is not glory...but gory!!!!!
