I try to find out many solutions of the perplexed socio-economic issues. They are as follows . Why people try to become jehadis . Why well to do people turn to become part of think tanks of terrorist organisations. Why have we not evolved from the belief fundamentalism which is self destructive and nihilistic when we want to destruct others who do not fall in line. From the ancient history and onwards, humanity has seen so many religious violence and carnages, inflicted by the rulers and other non state actors in the name of religion. The history has taught us enough lessons to behave only like human beings but we refuge to learn. When religious identities get political over tones and a sizeable portion of society ,starts feeling alienated , it is the duty of all of us to find pragmatic solutions . We can not reverse history nor can compensate it as well. What are options before us. We can fight with epidemics , viruses and calamities but not with these jehadi mindsets . They will not allow us to enjoy the life comforts of modern age due to their sinister designs. They are like viruses with cells ,impregnated in to normal human beings . They have generated so much fear in all of us . There is so much expenditure on security related matters, globally . Do we not face the bad economics generated by jehadi type of fundamentalists. The social divide ,economic costs and all around fear of being bombed have shown us the monstrous face of leviathan . How to get over this. I think we we can not fight with jehadis by police and army alone. The bleeding political issues need to be addressed and then states must groom private social actors ,having scientific vision for their communities , from amongst them to take the centre stage .Unfortunately, our democracy has failed on this account . The political expediency of minoritism, integrated with electoral politics ,have created a cocktail of communalism which will only produce jehadis and fundamentalists . The fundamentalists too find it convenient to capture power without doing anything substantial for their communities. So it is a vicious circle. I find it as the biggest aberration of democracy. The democratic majoriterianism further triggers minorterian communalism , a sort of polarisation , giving legitimacy to the interpretation of fundamentalists as if their religious identity is in danger . They try to take the leverage of such scenarios . What now. Minortism gives oxygen to majoritarianism and vice versa . This is a gridlock of contemporary democracy. I think we have to progress from here . If democratic electoral process can not handle this process, are we ready to opt , out of box solutions. Our civilisation must learn to live with the pluralism without adding disproportionate mileage to anyone ,to get the political dividends .
