terror has many names and shapes and origins.terror assumed a new form after the attack on world trade center .The metamorphosis continues.
Terror begets terror and this is very much true in the Indian context today.Terror till now was more of the omported variety, read Pakistan and ISI) .the new development is that it is inbred and has networking capabilities of hugh order.
There is another paradigm shift too.From the lowly slums the contagion has spread to hightech spots. Gone overboard is the theory that poverty alone breeds discontent.The educated ones among the entrants support the theory that terror has ideological overtones too.
surprisingly for the people of Karnataka , who are peaceloving by nature, their forests and their distant towns have harboured terrorists. training camps have been held in the interior and the leaders who conducted them have had strong links with the terrorist outfits across the border.
one more aspect needs to be focused.The market is being flooded with counterfeit currency, thus strking at the roots of financial credibility.
The latest turn is that the majority community too is spouting hatred .worse still, they are also practising the blast for blast policy, according to investigative agencies.
One thing is evident.whatever their persuasion, the terrorists have proved more than once that they can strke at will, and anywhere they fancy.to say that it is an intelligence failure will be an understatement.Cross-currents of political nature often push public weal to the backburner. Unless the government at the centre and the state join hands and see that their forces work in tandem, the terrorist menace will continue.
The magnitude of the loss is not the issue here.The welltrained cadres are cocking a snook at the government machinery.Innocent people have become pawns in this power game.When and how it will end is anybody’s guess.
