The Mumbai Massacre

It has been quite a long time that I have written something on my blog.
Whatever happened in Mumbai from 26 November 2008 to 29 November 2008 forced me to put my thoughts into words.

Less frequently asked questions -

Q. What is the root cause of this issue? What is the permanent solution?
This question came into my mind as I am a software engineer working in a big financial corporation.
We are asked not only to do temporary fixes but also work towards getting a permanent solution so that the problem doesn't reoccur.

Some people argue that the root cause of these attacks is the improper security measures in the country.
Others say - Failed Intelligence
Few others say - Inadequate laws to counter terror
and - Lack of good governance
and - Officers sleeping in their duty
and - etc.. etc..

I differ from others on this. I say - Kashmir.

ok.. Now we have identified the root cause. Lets talk about the solution.
Let us say that we are generous enough and give away Kashmir to the self-proclaimed freedom fighters.
Are we safe now?
The answer is No.

Their extremist thoughts will say - India has already done the maximum damage by killing their freedom-fighters (in other words - terrorists).
They shall have their revenge.... and their war continues till eternity..

I do not know what they are fighting for! They are never gonna get Kashmir!

In US and the UK, there ain't any Kashmir! They blasted bombs there too! What do they want from the rest of the world?

"They" do not only include Lashkar-e-toiba or other Pak-Based organisations.
"They" include all the Islamic Extremist all over the world.
"They" are the front-runners of Religious Intolerance.

These extremist groups definitely damage the Great Religion of Islam and its people.

But I would rather say that these Extremist groups are not small. They are always interlinked. They get great amounts of funds from all over the world. These funds directly aid them in procuring destructive materials.

How can any human, in the name of God, the allah, no matter what the circumstance is, carry out such a massacre on the common man - another human??

Well, no human can.. Whoever did this are no humans!!

Everybody knows where these people get trained.

So, I change my stand now.
The permanent solution to this problem is not in handing over the beautiful Kashmir to these ruthless animals.

The permanent solution is to eradicate the Master Minds and motivators, catch each and every blood-thirsty terrorist hiding out there in the training camp and kill each and every one of them.

The execution is in the hands of the Heads of our nation as well as of our "poisonous neighbour".
