Hindu terror? Thanks to Govt's (in)action

Seems like the happiest group about this alleged Hindu terror is the English media in India, especially the english news channels; for they now have an issue that could be used, twisted, judged, polled for the next few days; gluing the nation to their channels.

'Hindu terror' just doesn't go down easily. It is because Hindus never believed in terror. Infact, they were terrorised so often. Hinduism is the only religion which accepts that it is ‘not’ the only true faith. Neither Islam, nor Christianity could even dream of being such a liberal religion. As kids, we hindus are taught that all religion are equal, which is a big lie; while other faiths teach their kids that theirs is the only true faith and all others are pagans and are to be persecuted. And that is perfectly fine with our adjusting Hindu mentality; coz we still want to be secular. Hindu kids, most of them, even the lower middle class and the poor ones go to either Govt run schools or private ones; where they learn secular subjects like math and science dreaming to become doctors and engineers for a better life. Even those who attend more traditional/religious schools study secular subjects along with religion, culture, values etc of this land and become patriots. Can this be said about the muslims kids who attend madrasas where they invariably are drowned into only Quran more often than not to learn Arabic, quranic (Arabic) traditions, values and the quran?

And speaking about our rule of the law; the bas***rd who almost succeeded in bombing our citadel of democracy, our parliament; is still not hanged, though the Supreme court has pronounced its judgement. This is how severe the impotence of our leaders is. Our leaders dont have the balls to take action. With a prime minister who needs to get permission from a white lady for taking any decision, at the helm of all the affairs; what else can be expected. The forces from across our borders bomb us time and again at will with impunity. The Home minister’s attitude would put even an eunuch to shame. The separatist in J&K have the temerity to host Pak flags and openly wish for 'Death to India' can do it with no resistance. The separatists in Nagaland can freely resort to sedition. And our central govt which is now in the control of one family waits and waits so that it does not lose votes.

Under such an inactive govt, the administration fails to deliver. When we view these so called terror attacks allegedly by Hindus, anyone with a heart and feelings would understand these to be a retaliatory attempts by a few who are deeply disturbed by the inaction of the state. Yet, law is not about feelings. So, it should take its own course and I hope it does. Let the guilty be punished. But before that we should punish people like Mohammad Afzal whom we are keeping alive just to risk more attacks and hijacks. Its time we realized that the govt is just as responsible as these perpetrators for these disturbances, just because of its inaction. Finally if there really were something like ‘Hindu terror’, the demographics of this country would have been very different.

Nothing can justify terrorism.

A terrorist has no religion. "Thou shall not kill" is also the doctrine of Hinduism as any other religion. In Mahabharata Krishna asks Arjuna to kill the ill-doers despite they being his relatives. But that was war. and in war either you kill or get killed.
A terrorist doesn't do any war. He creates terror.

All terrorists to be treated equal irrespective or their creed.

I remember Mahatma Gandhi's words, "An eye for an eye makes the whole nation blind"
