Terror has never helped any cause, never done any good, never brought about any revolution. Terror is nothing but a method used by some people in today’s world to instill fear, coerce them. The recent terror attacks did all that and much more. It is an attack that has touched a chord in each of us, got us to think and got us to demand action.
The losses faced during the 60 hours of mayhem and after are irreparable. There is no compensation, no amount of apology and no amount of ‘political statement’ that can change that. The people of the world are asking questions, want answers, and are in need of explanations but will we get any of these? The people of the world want action; want reformation, those that are not merely for political reasons.
We talk about what to do and how to better these situations when the acts of terrorism are over with, this approach is clearly wrong. We must talk and generate methods to stop these terror attacks from occurring, from curbing them before they do. We must attack these attacks from the front, not with weapons, not with bloodshed but with a united front, our intelligent minds and our souls, all together.
The answer to terrorism is not blame, it is change. The answer to terrorism is not fear, it is strength. The answer to terrorism is not abhorrence, it is being unperturbed by their attempts to divide.
I condemn these blasts and pray for peace in our city, our country and in the world as a whole. May the souls of all those brave men and women who gave up their lives saving others and all those civilians who lost their life in these ghastly attacks rest in peace. We salute you.
Terrorist attacks can try and shake the foundations of our buildings but they cannot touch the foundation, the soul, the heart of India.

i think this is highly reflective of every citizen of mumbai and indians everywhere.
Sentiments of many around the world Shruti...question each terrorist must ask before he sets out on his mission...what will my action achieve? Will it bring the change that I required? Hopefully the answer will be no. Violence has never solved anything.

Well the current 'Indian State' is not at all "attacking these attacks" with weapons and you must be well aware of blasts after blasts which take place in our country. Infact we go all the way to be so politically correct that we have yet to accept the reality of "Islamic Terrorism".
When you say that bloodshed is not the answer, tell me one instance where terrorism has been defeated without force, while one of the most prominent instances where it has been so successfully been rooted out by force is the Khalistan movement in our country itself, you cannot reason with it neither can you "generate methods" to stop these barbaric acts called jehad. Even the best of security will falter sometime or the other, hence it is absolutely essential to be the aggressor.
No one wants full blown war, but proxy war which we have been targets of can very well be engaged by us too, force is always required, these acts cant be checked otherwise.
What you have written is very nice to read and might work in an ideal world, too bad for us we aren't living in an ideal world.
Peace.
