It may be noted that root cause of all terrorist activities is social and/or economic injustice. Cases of criminal activities/atrocities against so-called upper strata people get ignored by police and sometimes the victims are falsely implicated. Court cases linger for decades. Deprived or exploited individuals takes the protection of such underworld outfits. Terrorists are not borne, but are created by the people so-called upper strata people. Epicentre of one such action centre are created, replicates quickly to many and action areas continues to propagate. Kindly ensure social and economic justice in just time and just cost. more

Then it is surprising that present government who does not have many vested interests to cover did not grab opportunity to rule with military governor and try to bring peace which would have been better than present civil rule. May be lack of courage of conviction. more

Many people may not agree to this line of thought but please listen to my opinion. We have a large number of stray dogs in India who bark at the least instance of instability. These dogs have nothing to do in life except eat, sleep and defecate. Why not take them up to the LOCs and give them some basic training. They can be settled at the army camps, police stations and army battalions. At night or otherwise, the dogs will bark and warn our soldiers of any untoward incidences and thus we can save precious human lives. They may even surprise the enemy by stealthily biting them. When the enemy yelps in pain our jawans will be alerted. The dog will also get salvation is anything happens to him as he has sacrificed his life for his country. Think of all the widows and orphans in our country as their fathers have sacrificed their lives for our country and us. So what do you think? more

At present terror attacks are confined to J & K, and are happening as some local people are helping them. It can be controlled by infiltrating agents in large numbers and doubling or quadruple the armed forces so that trouble makers are out numbered. The state should be effectively ruled by an army governor may be by proxy. For sometime have attitude of " Hell with world opinion, put your hands over ears for opposition by third grade politicians and anti India intellectuals and any such organizations. I sincerely believe that we do have capable clean persons in army and civil services. The Will and Courage of Conviction is required. more
