The President of India has a question

I love this. It really speaks to the ability of the internet to create a global community; building on each others thoughts, experiences and perspectives. I know the readers of my blog come from all over the world and I always appreciate the larger, global view; I think it is essential to moving forward. Which is why I am so pleased to see that Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, the current President of India recently posted a question for the world wide web community to respond to -
What should we do to free our planet from terrorism?
If you’d like to join the conversation head over to Yahoo! Answers and tell the world (and the President) what you think we should do… I’d venture we need to put our collective heads together on this one.

Dear President,
1. Arragement may be made to issue at the earliest one unique ID-card(replacing ration card,voter ID,PAN card) to every Indian citizen which automatically eliminate non-Indians.
2. Unemployment of youths may be solved by inducting them into defence service which inturn solve two problems simulaneously vide., a.unemployment and b. make the people patriotic.
3. NCC and NSS may made mandatory in schools and colleges for two years and it will definitely imbibe patriotism in the young minds and most of the problems will be solved as they come to know the values of men,materials and other things.
Thanking you sir,
Yours Sincerely,
Prof.K.Palaniswami.

Terrorism –It is a great menace to the whole world.We do not have any rights on our own life then how come the life of others.The best way to free or cease the terrorism in the planet–EACH SHOULD KNOW THE VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE.
We can’t give life to a body that is dead and similarly we can’t take out the life.All those involved in terrorism have some cause for it.They should analyse whether what they seek is right or wrong.And even if their cause is right they can analyse to solve the problem in a way that will never affect any life not even an ant.
There is a saying “An idle mind is devil’s workshop” .Pepole without any work for them to engage with ,land with this terrorist act.
Similarly through one more saying “Poverty is mother of crime” we will know that only poverty leads to many of the crime act.
Hence for the present,we can cease this terrorism if we can solve POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT.Moreover one more cause I think which leads to terrorism is misunderstaning on one’s religious ideals.The head of all the religion should make clear about the ideals of all religion.
For the future generation,it all depends on how the younger generations are brought up.As we can’t bend a trunk as we bend a tender twig,
younger generation should be given moral instruction classes which is lacking nowadays in many of the schools .Schools believe in only academic records and not even sports in some places.We can judge a boy how he will be in the furture through his acts and it will be also easier to teach him good and follow it.So the younger generation should be given keen importance in all, so as to minimize the crime.
I pray our Almighty, so that we live in the peace world.

Respected Sir,
with all due respect , I feel the question should have read,” what should we do to free our neighbourhood from terrorism?”.
In our neighbourhood what we face on a day to day basis is also a form of terrorism. These small forms of a major problem have many faces. They can be bribery for job, Fights for a seat in a bus, fights over trivial matters in between two different cultures, Fight over water in between two states which belong to the same country and should be living in harmony, Fight between students about the unjust reservations for students one batch who has it easy because even if they get the 25000th rank they are assured of a seat in medicine or engg in a premeir institution but a student with even 2500 rank has to submit so many certificates to assure that he get a seat in the remote corner of the country and many more.
If we can try and resolve these on a face to face and simple basis then may be we will have better citizens who dont have to worry about their daily bread or education and find iilegal ways of obtaining them when they can be assured of a honourable way of procuring them.
Children today do not have the patriotism that was instilled into us in our childhood. let us first realise tha terrorism has its roots in ourselves only when we feel that we are helpless against a particular situation. Give us a fair and honourable means to reoslve our problems and to ensure a good future for our children - may be then people will not have to resort to terrorism to attain their goals.
thank you sir

Respected Sir,
I have an Idea regarding Gold Medalists in education. Sir, why can’t u suggest the Government to give more importance to Job Oppurtunities for the people who have secured Gold Medals in all PG Subjects in all Universities .In our Country and all over the world there is a procedure of giving more importance in Job Oppurtunities and giving more and more money to the poeple who were securing medals in Sports and other things. For this reason only educated people are going to states(and other countries) and just giving their brain to those countries and getting money.It’s my humble request to you to do a favour to those poeple by considering this idea.Even without interviews also they can get placements,because they deserve it.Sir, u know that how much of hard work is needed to get a Gold Medal.So,expecting such type of award or acceptance from the Government is their dream.Can u help them Sir?
Thanking You
