State terror towards its own people is the worst & most heinous form of terrorism. It results in de-rooting the very concept of state from psyche of its own citizens. All of our biggest troubles are products of monstrous act of terror committed by Indian state itself whether direct or indirect, whether it be massacre of 1984, fall of Babri, atrocities of armed machineries in Punjab, suppression of locals in Kashmir valley or human right violations in poor Aadivasi regions with the name of mighty Green Hunt as the fight against Maoist trouble.
We have to first accept the root causes before trying to solve the problem. As per any of treatment methodology there couldn't be proper cure without diagnosis of the disease. That is main reason that we are failing in our attempts to control are bubbling troubles in our country. Our approach of hitting hard on ones who are raising their voice peacefully or with gun against the state is flawed in its basics itself.
Violence would actually generate more counter-violence in response and rather than solving the problems and as an outcome we would get trapped in unending loop of bloodbath. Larger debate on all the issues, involvement of every section of civil society, redressing grievances of every constituent how-so-ever small it is, showing respect to wider viewpoints even if they are completely contradictory to our own-set rules & principles and shunning counter violence on very first place are the few of the steps from which we need to start with if we are really serious to resolve.
