India’s President APJ Abdul Kalam asks Question on Yahoo Answers
Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, India's well loved president, is currently seeking an answer to his question "What should we do to free our planet from terrorism?" on Yahoo! Answers. His thought provoking question, posted 5 days ago, has till now garnered over 7000 answers :
Human society, from origin until now, has always been at war within and between groups and has led to two World Wars. Presently, terrorism and low intensity warfare are affecting many parts of the world. As the current global population of 6 billion increases to 8 billion by 2025, national and international conflicts will continue to be a source of concern for humanity. When evil minds combine, good minds have to work together and combat. In this context, what are the out-of-the-box solutions to free the planet earth from terrorism?
Some leading Indian figures like Sri Sri Ravishankar, Kiran Bedi, and Leander Paes have posted answers to Dr. Kalam's question.

Dear sir,
we thank you for giving us a chance to express our idea in
Eradicating “terrorism”.no baby born to this world with a terrible mind,only we learn from our surroundings like parents,relations,
Neighbours,friends,societies etc.the root starts from a small network called “parents”.they are the first teachers for the childrens,only
The things which they teach at the beginning of our life will remain
in mind untill our Death.so every parents must be a good teacher to
childrens,but mostly they fail in doing their job.eventhough
they teach us goodthings but they forget us to teach in a
independent manner,they bring us into a circle called “religions”,
they teach that he or she is different from others by their religions,
castes,subcastes etc.so the child starts to differenciate and its thought “we” becomes “i and my family” here starts the ego,jealous,
selfishness etc these small things grow into a huge devil called
“terrorism”.to avoid this atleast the coming generations must not
Come to know what is their religion,they must not be thought to differenticate with others,they must be grownup that they only
Belong to this single “world” filled with love and affection everywhere.
we know very well it is very hard to erase the word religion from our
People but anyway let us try,”hard work never fails”.atleast let us
Start now to rub the word “religion”from the heart of our people
And also prevent the new generations from being written in their
Mind.strictly a rule must be published to eliminate the religion or
Caste Columns to be filled in the application forms of schools,colleges,
hospitals etc and moral education must be compulsarly teached in
every schools and colleges.we believe this would be one of the source
for eradicating “terrorism” and you will do it for “us”(includes you too sir)”jai hind”
Your’s lovingly
Priyadharshini & our people

Dear sir,
terrorism….. one of the most terrible word.sir, not a single child is born with an ambition to spread terrorism.it is the circumstances, that drags a person in persuit of terrorism.
I am going to explain it to you in a link as it is in a food chain-
A person living in a rural country has no education. The reason for their illiteracy is not the government but their parents. But if see deeply their parents dont have employement to seek anywhere.If a person is not able to feed his family what is he going to give education to his children. the same is the reason for illiteracy of his generation. and now in 21 century there is no employement without education. And again the grown up generation wanders for employement but all in vain. the last way for him to feed his family is “terrorism”.
It is not that a terrorist has no feeling for his country but in order to feed his family he has to choose this path and gradually it becomes his passion .
Flourishing terrorist companies are also the reason for this.
sir, i am stunned at the sight of illiteracy in my country.sir, the only solution to terrorism is flourishing of education and employement and destruction of terrorist companies

Respected sir’
by looking towards this topic “terrorism” ….
this is not the topic to discuss or anything else.this is the one of the burning topic of the world which causes the world to the end of life of the human being.
There are very much reasons to cause it. But for eliminating the “TERRORISM” there is not enough things to do it. We have eliminate the terrorism by giving free education.
The education is giving free but it is not pracically given up to the students. one or many problems arises to the student while taking education. or given education in very cruel manner such as beating the student for the small mistake.it is not fare sir. for that we have to warned the teachers to not misbehave or beat the student. it gives negative feeling to the student. this feeling up to the younge. so i think that sir for removing the “terrorism” we have to make all the people well literate…….. thats all……..
thak you sir giving a chance to the young people to give his view @ “terrorism”

The first and formost thing to do is to understand why those people are fighting their wars. Call them over a dilaogue. It may be time consuming and very painful to see reason in our way of life. Only love and understanding can bring them back to the mainstream.

Respecited sir,
Firstly understand them. call tgem for a dilagoue and find out what they are fighting their wars for. It will be time consuming and testing our patience but I think that would be the only way to do and not thru Military Means. - Vijaykumar

This is an email i got. It requires answers frome our very own News Channels for their irresponsiblity
A MUST READ…….
Dear Editors of HT, TOI, IndianExpress and TheHindu, I got the mail below from a friend of mine and following the unwritten code of conduct, I am forwarding it to my friends but all efforts of people who have been forwarding this mail would go waste if this mail doesn’t reach YOU……
Something to think about..!!
Shame on Indian Media??? Really what a shame…
By the time u guys read this news, the body of Major Manish Pitambare, who was shot dead at Anantnag, would have been cremated with full military honors.
On Tuesday, this news swept across all the news channels ‘Sanjay Dutt relieved by court’. ‘Sirf Munna not a bhai’ ‘13 saal ka vanvaas khatam’ ‘although found guilty for possession of armory, Sanjay can breath sigh of relief as all the TADA charges against him are withdrawn’ Then many personalities like Salman Khan said ‘He is a good person. We knew he will come out clean’. Mr Big B said “Dutt’s family and our family have relations for years he’s a good kid. He is like elder brother to Abhishek”. His sister Priya Dutt said “we can sleep well tonight. It’s a great relief”
In other news, Parliament was mad at Indian team for performing bad; Greg Chappell said something; Shah Rukh Khan replaces Amitabh in KBC and other such stuff. But most of the emphasis was given on Sanjay Dutt’s “phoenix like” comeback from the ashes of terrorist charges. Surfing through the channels, one news on BBC startled me. It read “Hisbul Mujahidin’s most wanted terrorist ‘Sohel Faisal’ killed in Anantnag , India . Indian Major leading the operation lost his life in the process. Four others are injured.
It was past midnight , I started visiting the stupid Indian channels, but Sanjay Dutt was still ruling. They were telling how Sanjay pleaded to the court saying ‘I’m the sole bread earner for my family’, ‘I have a daughter who is studying in US’ and so on. Then they showed how Sanjay was not wearing his lucky blue shirt while he was hearing the verdict and also how he went to every temple and prayed for the last few months. A suspect in Mumbai bomb blasts, convicted under armory act…was being transformed into a hero.
Sure Sanjay Dutt has a daughter; Sure he did not do any terrorist activity. Possessing an AK47 is considered too elementary in terrorist community and also one who possesses an AK47 has a right to possess a pistol so that again is not such a big crime; Sure Sanjay Dutt went to all the temples;
Sure he did a lot of Gandhigiri but then…….. …
Major Manish H Pitambare got the information from his sources about the terrorists’ whereabouts. Wasting no time he attacked the camp, killed Hisbul Mujahidin’s supremo and in the process lost his life to the bullets fired from an AK47. Just like Sunjay Dutt he is survived by a wife and daughter who’s only 18 months old.
Major Manish never said ‘I have a daughter’ before he took the decision to attack the terrorists in the darkest of nights. He never thought about having a family and he being the bread earner. No news channel covered this since they were too busy hyping a former drug addict, a suspect who’s linked to bomb blasts which killed hundreds. Their aim was to show how he defied the TADA charges and they were so successful that his conviction in possession of armory had no meaning. They also concluded that his parents in heaven must be happy and proud of him.
Parents of Major Manish are still living and they have to live rest of their lives without their beloved son. His daughter won’t ever see her daddy again.
So guys, please forward this message around so that the media knows which news to give importance, as it is a shame for us since this Army Major’s death news was given by a foreign TV channel!!! Where they know worth of Patriotism.
If you believe in it, don’t feel shy in forwarding it

yes terrorism can be wiped out of india, if our politicians are stopped taking bribe from bad elements, and try to protect them from the law. it is our political system and politicians who are spoiling india, and that is the root cause for all that we had been witnessing in india for past years, poor innocent citizens life is being lost in this just because of our corrupt politicians.

Respected Sir,
my name is Akshay thankyou sir for asking this question.I want to ask 1 question to every indian is our country developed?.who are terrorist;and why they are spreading terrorism.the real cause for terrorism in our country is for only money.Money in our country has became such a big problem that even a small child cannot eat a proper food. if any one asked to remain without food can they remain?.It is not only for the food can they live without shelter,home,employment.IN 21st century the for everything has tremendously risen so much that even middle class people think twice of getting out of there home to buy something.Then we can judge about the plight,bad condition about those people who are so poor that they cannot buy their needs.In 21st century every human being wants to have money, to become rich,and if their needs are not fullfill than they only have one option to choose is of getting into wrong path and it is only terrorism what they think is their way to fullfill their needs, their hunger, and atlast this happens to them that their fortune is not with them and life starts with a unknown,unpleasant begining and ends their life with unpleasant death by police officer or by any of the army soldier.is it a life or sacrifice.why this all is happening in our country?.They have to do what their gang leaders says them to do and unwillingly they have to do such wrong things like bomblast at their own risk..And millions of people have to loose their life.the leaders of their gang and those terrorist should be killed who are forcing small childrens to go on wrong path, The base of terrorism should be removed in such a way that being terrorist is only way to end their life this people should think.One of the biggest cause of terrorism is population.increase in population is increase in every field such that humanity will be more and replenising.decreasing of everything in resources.the only solution to overcome the problem of terrorism is that the government in our country should be so much powerful to decrease the problems of terrorism and lead our nation to such an extreme of development that we can also feel good for our country.our nation pride lies in the hands of government because they have the supreme power to do best for our country.government should have ambition to develop entire nation.they should not think of developing and money making for their needs.if Hitler can change the map of entire germany and can bring germany in to a developed country than why we cannot?.today we have to use more of machine work.we have stop working by traditional inputs but now it is our time to use new technologies for our nations pride in every field.if this happens in our country then everyone will have good houses to live and their will be development in everything and thoghts of the people will be changed and no one will go against our Mother Earth
