Global Terrorism

Global Terrorism
The impact of globalization was very much. It entirely changed our life. We gained a lot of things. We got both the good and evil through the globalization. Now we realized what is global terrorism. As global terrorists are constantly hitting new targets, the risk of possible new threats is accordingly increasing. What the last attacks proved in reality is that the capability of terrorists access to subways, which are considered to be surrounded with protective measures. What are global terrorists trying to achieve and when are the countries struggling against global terrorists right or wrong in their attitude towards them? The real damage that all terrorist attacks cause is the trace of chilling fear that stays in people’s minds. This situation can be described as the second wave impact of terror on massive parts of public on a large scale. Terrorist organizations are not structures, which are strong with their own capabilities. The solidification of these groups depends on the wrong reactions to their deeds. Terrorist organizations act with the purpose of speeding up societal disintegration and decomposition and at this point, they have to follow a strategy that completely contradicts with that of state forces. Both, societies and states must do what they are required to do, search for their responsibilities, and look at the other side of the mirror after each bomb attacks. If there is a growing trend of global terror and the clash among different cultures and beliefs is increasing, the terrorists are responsible for this picture. The people of the part struggling against terror must not disintegrate and must develop collective measures. Struggle against terror requires sincerity. The first condition is to remove the double-standard among countries. To realize this, disregarding the boundaries, countries must act collectively. We must take into our minds that terrorism is a fact that can be manipulated despite its origins, actors and places. At this point, the thought that “your terrorist” or “my terrorist”, namely the concept of possessiveness, should be avoided and the issue should be looked at from the general framework. India has suffered for the past nearly two decades from terrorism in Punjab, in Jammu and Kashmir and in other parts of India. Countless innocent lives have been lost to the terrorist's bombs and guns. In January 2000, the United States and India announced the establishment of a Joint Working Group on Counter terrorism. We could see that how many terrorist attacks happened in India. Terrorism is a threaten to our nation. The past so many years we faced many terrorist attacks. The terror attack at IISC Bangalore in 2005, the parliament attack in 2001 and the recent Hydrabad bomb blast were greatly affected our country. The 9/11 and the London terror plot revealed that all countries in the target list of the global terrorists. We cannot predict the terrorist attack but we can prevent by the cooperation of all countries. We need a global unity.
