COUNTERING A POTENTIAL EPIDEMIC :

Charlie hebdo's  caricatures once again  brought to life amid mourning . it’s  been a shocking state of affairs for a country  which  believes in freedom of expression and has  glorified its essence.  decades have passed since such a grave incident happened in France  . Charlie hebdo’s cartoons  mirrored free expression albeit a twisted one . although his cartoons lampooning prophet mohammad may not find enough takers  ( rather some incensed souls)  but they still came under the ‘blurry’ ambit of free expression. The barbaric response of these so called mercenaries of islam  is beyond condemnable, how can one rationalise such callous killings in response to mere spoofing? However, in the heat of the moment , proclaiming a final war on terror is insanity which would eventually isolate people on religious lines and  that  is exactly what those bigots intended. Usage of surgical strikes to take out heads of these groups cannot serve as a response either .  a prolonged calibrated action aimed at bringing back people from the gorges of religious extremism to the asylum of moderation is the need of the hour . without an iota of doubt it involves perennial indulgence in the pursuit of promulgating a modern renaissance , where sticking to the cause in the longer run would be the key , countering those fanatics and zealots along the way ….
