There is little doubt that foreign forces provide logistics and funding to bleed India through terror. The notion that only the poor turn to terrorism is fast fading. The involvement of educated professionals, including doctors and scholars, poses a disturbing puzzle. Known intelligence that was ignored indicates serious security lapses that cost innocent lives and property. Radicalisation stems from hatred and perceived persecution ” from the Babri Masjid demolition, lynchings, bulldozer justice, communal flare-ups, trade curbs, and selective targeting. Many languish in jails without trial, fuelling resentment. Misguided youth are exploited by forces eager to provoke conflict. The call to shut institutions like Al Falah University without proof reeks of prejudice. Terrorism today hides behind education and respectability, making detection harder. Swift, transparent investigation and punishment alone can deter such tragedies and restore faith in justice.
