A Strategy to Deter Terrorism continues....

When the preference orderings of terrorists and states are diametrically opposed then the question of deterrence becomes crucial.

Hence, recognizing that targeting of Hindus is the political goal of the Islamic terrorists, while Muslims of India are largely just passive spectators, but that the foreign patrons of Islamic terrorists are beginning to engage in terrorist acts that could pit Muslims against Hindus in nation-wide conflagration and possible civil war as in Serbia and Bosnia, hence the first lesson to be learnt from recent history, for tackling terrorism in India is to recognize that the Hindu is the target, and that Muslims of India are being programmed to slide into suicide against Hindus. The video-tapes in Bihar and in J&K seeking recruits for terrorism against the “US-Israel-India axis” is an indication of this. It is, therefore, to undermine the Hindu psyche and create fear of civil war that terror attacks are organized. And, hence, since the Hindu is the target, Hindus must collectively respond as Hindus against the terrorist and not feel individually isolated, or worse be complacent because he or she is not personally affected. Instead, the attitude should be that if one Hindu is killed merely because he or she is a Hindu, then a bit of every Hindu also dies. This is a necessary part of a virat Hindu, an essential mental attitude required in formulating a deterring strategy against a terrorism that is Hindu-centric in its targets.

Therefore, we have to have a collective mindset as Hindus to stand against the terrorist. In this response, Muslims and Christians of India can join the Hindus if they genuinely feel for the Hindu. They cannot, however do so, if they acknowledge what DNA studies of as published in respected journals on Genetics establish, that though they may be Indian Muslims or Christians, their DNA are the same as are of Hindus. It is not easy for them to acknowledge this ancestry even though that is the truth, because the Muslim Mullah and Christian Padres would consider it as unacceptable.
