An Open Letter To The Terrorist



Oh Terrorist!

I understand that you have become so much tech savvy nowadays and you spend majority of your time sitting before the computer terminals (by hacking wi-fi connections across Mumbai) and writing threat mails to the government authorities. Hence I hope that you may read this letter also, one fine day.

I think that you may be having few or all of the following objectives while planting the bombs.



1. Horrifying the minds of the people
2. Reduce the population.
3. Disrupting the communal harmony
4. Spoiling the economic climate
5. Drawing the attention of Politicians.
6. Media attention


I sincerely believe that you are not going to achieve any of your objectives for ever.


Do you think whether you can ever horrify the minds of Indian public? As a person, visiting Mumbai, you may be aware how it is horrifying to travel by Local Trains in the peak hours. Can you ever horrify us like we get while crossing Mumbai roads (any other Indian city for that matter) amidst the over-speeding vehicles? Your strategies to horrify people by planting bombs may work in western world. It may not work in India, because, we all Indians are the people who strongly believe in “Karma” i.e. if some thing has to come, it will come no matter through whom it comes. So your attempt to horrify the people’s mindset is simply a waste of time. It has been proved many a times by the affected cities returning to normalcy from the very next day of horror.




Do you know what is the population of India currently and at what pace it is growing up. Sooner than later, we are going to surpass China as number one populous country in the world. By planting bombs you kill around 30 innocent persons in one attack after toiling for 2 months. Do you know more number of people die every day in the railway tracks of Mumbai alone? Mind that few people killing crores of people is impossible.




It is a new competitive age. Religions are becoming more of a personal matter rather than public matter. We, Indians believe in all gods. We, Indians, will accept any and every god who can solve our ever-growing problems. Moreover, people are now clear that no god will be happy to see innocent people being killed by brutal means. I believe that your god too will not be happy for killing people for whatever reason.








Do you expect that your bombs will impact the economic growth? No way. Indian economic growth is irreversible because of the changing demography. May be the bigger bombs like inflation, high interest rates, fiscal/trade deficit and turmoil in the global markets may slow down it by a small extent. Your bombs are too small to induce any major impact on the economic growth. You would have seen every time, the Sensex firing up in the very next of day terror. Do you think that western countries will stop investing in India because of your bomb attacks? Don’t forget that troubled waters are the fishing ground for many foreign countries


You know, Politicians are very busy in fighting and winning elections (infighting too), forming coalition governments, sharing ministries, issuing statements, appearing in TV shows, celebrating various functions (both India and abroad) etc & etc. Your acts of terror may add just one more statement or counter statement from them


At the most, all media will be discussing about your act for two days and after that they may switch over to cricket, cinema, Aarushi/Grover cases.


Oh Terrorist. Stop your acts of terrorism. Return to the mainstream. It appears that you are having good web designing skills. You can join a software firm and earn decently. Have a peaceful life then which will be hundreds of times better than your present style of living.












Live and Let Live

I too have failed to understand the psycology of terrorists particularly the suicide bombers. What I feel is that in many cases, the suicide bombers were prepared by some ill-interested fellows to do certain activities. The suicide bombers would have earlier been affected by some counter activities. Have you seen "hey ram movie by kamal" where a person is slowly drifted towards for an assasination.
