Terrorism a global problem

On the eve of the 61 st Independence Day of India, President Pratibha Devi Singh Patil termed terrorism as an global problem, posing a threat to national as well as international peace and security.

She said unfortunately, terrorist groups continue to receive support and sanctuary.

India has been the target of terrorist attacks for several decades, and in more recent times so have many countries across the globe. We must stand united against the threats emanating from terrorism, President Patil added.

She said terrorists with their disruptive agenda will never succeed in discouraging us from our resolve to build a strong India , or from working with our neighbours to eliminate this menace from our region, or from our commitment to forge co-operative relations with other countries across the world.

The president further added that India seeks to engage with the international community to promote peace and development in the world.

She said as the world’’s largest democracy and a major economy, our role in global political and economic affairs has been responsible and positive. It is our view that multilateral institutions should be made more equitable and should reflect contemporary realities.

In the end she said on our part, we will continue to carry into the global arena the message of harmony, pluralism, peaceful co-existence and oneness of the human race, concepts which are deeply rooted in our national ethos.

Terrorism as a Global Problem

Terrorism is the global problem nowadays that endanger life of every person on the earth. The primary purpose of all governments should encourage and enable people to join their forces against terrorism and win it by common efforts . The government should recognize the paramount importance of this problem and the political activity should be subservient to that major consideration.

To solve the problem of global terrorism,we must try to find the roots of it, to analyze the actions of countries taken against terrorism, social attitude to this phenomenon. I would say that current policy isn’t able not just to stop the march of terrorism but even to miniaturize it. Mass media leads active struggle against terrorism but very often this process isn’t connected with definite well-known terrorists. They blame whole nations without any division. The consequences of such actions are predictable: people begin to hate not terrorists as a whole but correlate terrorists with definite nationalities, Arabic, for example. Terrorism as a national phenomenon is a great problem and its understanding can help us to find the way out.

Terrorism needs serious and responsible public attitude, but sometimes hiding after the generous aims of the liquidation of terrorism, politicians limited civil liberties of some nationalities. Internet sites and mass media can abuse position of some social and ethnic groups and give false information about them.
