This morning when I went to a restaurant for breakfast I was surprised to hear a question asked by a child to his father. Does anyone expect what the question that child asked his father?
"Papa, Is Terrorism a part-time job or full-time job?"
The stunned father told the child, "My son, terrorism is an activity of doing harm to humans".
The uncomfortable child again asked his father, "Papa what do we have to study to become a Terrorist?"
I then approached the boy and told him, "Terrorism is an act of disturbing others from their work".
Then the child keep silent for some time and again asked me, "When I want my father to play with me, he tells me: ‘Don’t disturb.’ Is this also terrorism?"
I had no asnwer for the boy. This is the effect that terrorist activities have on an Indian childhood– from a perception of the world to playtime activities.
