Review

Terrorism has always been a major threat and annoyance to the world. Terrorists cause damage of life and property in order to induce fear in the minds of the people. In the case of Samjhauta Express, there were many innocent people who were charred to death by the flames. This was really a very heinous act done by terrorists. So many passengers who had nothing against India or Pakistan were brutally killed. I feel really bad for the people who lost their lives just because they happened to be travelling abroad those two compartments. The majority of the victims were Muslims, indeed they were Pakistanis traveling back home. So it has been supposed that the militants were supposedly Hindus. This indeed grieves me as this clearly highlights racial discrimination. In the 21st century, it is indeed very sad to notice that people still have feelings in their hearts against other races.
As the train compartments exploded, many people would have been severely burnt. This really saddens me. As I think of the people, many of whom were visiting their families and relatives, I realize how terrorism can, in an instant, suddenly turn the lives of all these innocent passengers and their families. Also, there were many who were severely charred or injured in other ways. Life will be even more difficult for them as they battle with death and struggle hard for survival. As for the families of these injured victims, life will be harder still. As most of the victims were Pakistanis and the attack occurred in India, many of the victims’ families have a lot of complications like visas and passports before they can get to see their dear ones. During this time, they will be full of anxiety about the health and condition of their kin.
As it is, India and Pakistan haven’t got too good relations. As these attacks came just a day before the intended peace talks, there is almost no doubt as to what they were intended for. This was indeed a really cowardly act of terrorism. Militants anonymously chose a very destructive way to hamper the peace talks between India and Pakistan.

However, this terrorism can be looked at from a positive point of view, too. These attacks really bond the people of the country together and help them fight terrorism. In this case, this attack led the people of both the countries to be united against terrorism instead blaming each other. So, instead of sitting and crying over spilt milk, I am of the opinion that India and Pakistan should firmly join hands and unitedly fight against terrorism.
