INTRODUCTION
Can we ever.think of a society free of violence? Can the government ensure a peaceful society? What are the goals that the perpetrators of terror activities seek to achieve? In a layman's language, terrorism is a sort of violence that is aimed to achieve some goal. These goals are generally those, which the government denies to the perpetrators of the terror activities. These monstrous activities have been ramped up in the recent weeks, in India. This calls for a strident response on the part of the government. Terrorism is more awful than the war. When there are the indications of war, we have the room for the tackle mechanisms. But the terror attacks leave no room for such mechanisms. Moreover the response of the Indian government has been not to the extent that it can be ensured that such activities are the past story. Last few days have been a kind of sad and shameful for us all Indians. We boast of a country growing to become a super power but are not able to defend ourselves. All this is because of the attitude of the politicians who are interested in vote banks only, be it on lines of religion, caste or whatever. They have lost their conscience and would stoop down to any limit to win the war of votes but when it comes to the real war to defend the country they push forward our brave hearts to die. Yes I am referring to our armed forces, be it police, paramilitary , navy;air force or army.
