 Ans.                                              Terrorism – a Great Menace to Humanity

by Roopa

 Our freedom is taken away from us when terrorism strikes in us the fear of being free. Today, terrorism has become an international problem, which has affected almost all nations directly or indirectly. As we experience a systematic breakdown, the need of the hour is that the world unites as one in fighting for a cause which affects the entire humanity.

 It was on 11 September 2001 when the most powerful country in the world, the United States witnessed a terrorist attack. That day history was rewritten for the West. It changed the measures to deal with terrorism. On 26th November 2008, when India faced a similar threat in the form of the Mumbai massacre, history was created for us, to revise our policy for dealing with acts of terrorism. Danger, helplessness, sadness, and the loss of life are the consequences of acts of terror. The pain that the Americans felt in 2001 was the same as felt by Indians in 2008. Terrorism is not restricted to national boundaries. It is a threat to the entire humanity. This threat can only be tackled when international laws and treaties are harsher and by uniting our voice against terrorism. We need to make bodies like the United Nations and other peace-keeping organizations more independent and strong in implementing their policies for eradicating terrorism. The most important step is to stop nations who are funding these terror activities.

The pain and loss of life that terrorist acts bring along are the same around the world irrespective of national, social, regional or economic boundaries. It is time that the world rose above its narrow interests and untimely deals with terrorism.
