ONLY THE PARANOID WITH ZERO TOLERANCE FOR TERROR WILL SUCCEED.

The terrorist problem can be very easily solved anywhere in India. The only ingredient required is ZERO TOLERANCE for terrorists arising out of a focused POLITICAL WILL to finish terrorism once and for all. But are our myopic vote bank appeasing politicians bothered? The reason why India has the greatest number of casualties through terror in the world is due to its being a SOFT State or a country that has no political will to combat this menace for vote bank consideration. As Modi has the requisite attitude to combat it he is called communal as he is markedly different than the appeasers else where like Lalu Yadav, Mulayam Singh Yadav and our homegrown Marxists who are even against a ban on the Indian terrorist organisation SIMI or Students’ Islamic Movement of India.

Anyone uninitiated to Indian realities would be quite bewildered to note an association of terrorism with either students or even a religion of peace like Islam. But then, there it is. More truthfully now the façade has been thrown aside as these violence junkies now call themselves the Indian Mujahideen which negates what Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had very emphatically stated sometime back that he was proud to say that no Indian Muslim was a terrorist even though the SIMI has been in existence for few decades.

A ZERO TOLERANCE begins with having full knowledge of sleeper cells of Indian sympathizers of the terrorists through constant surveillance and good police work on the ground. Without local logistical support a terrorist network funded and operationalised by a foreign country like Pakistan cannot operate inside a vast country like India. But since it involves keeping watch on a particular community from which all terrorists come, our human rights wallahs will start screaming that secularism is in danger whilst secular politicos will let the blood letting continue to appease their vote bank even at the cost of jeopardizing the country's security. That is another bitter Indian reality as well.

The Gujarat police know that Modi will back them to the hilt to catch the culprits as he is not bothered what names other motivated politicians call him. Modi also knows that if he fails then the same secularists who are otherwise sympathizers of the terrorists' helpers who are their vote banks, will accuse him of failure to nab the culprits. Only a very committed and strong nationalist politician can take on this challenge whilst spineless politicos will continue to allow innocent Indians to be killed by terrorists as long as it sustains their vote bank. Conversely, that is why no terrorist attack ever takes place in Israel and in USA after 9/11 because they are paranoid about their security and are on constant overdrive against terrorists.

Or Looking at it from another perspective, would the USA and Israel have handled a similar situation in their country the way India has been handling the problem? If not, why not? Why would they have handled it differently or why does India handle it the way it does? Even if India were to possess all the advanced technological equipments it would not use them to effectively curb such activities as it lacks the political will to stop the mayhem in the first place.
