Wanted a war to end cross border terrorism

A war is a struggle. It is the highest form of confidence in one’s notion, that competing against its opponent seems urgent, seems essential. On the battle field of ideas, concepts and a world without bloodshed, this is how I describe war. But its impact could be more bloodcurdling than that of a war fought with arms and armors. It could bring about a revolution, a change.

Terrorism, on the other hand is capable of bringing about a change too. A change nobody desires. It instills fear in the minds of the people. It converts a peaceful living environment cherishing the existence of happy families residing in it, into a burning misery. It transforms employment into redundancy.

Terrorism emanating from the countries we share our borders with, is technically the face of global terrorism. If it is not halted, time would come to a standstill to watch this dearth of humanity.

I am Ashima Madan, and I am against terrorism. My conviction in my opinion is strong enough to spark off this war to end cross border terrorism. But the question here is— Are you ready to fuel it?
