I often wondered what would have gandhiji done had he been alive today?. How would he have dealt with Taliban , LET ,JEM ,SIMI, Pragya and all.

Its matter of speculation what he would have done and what he would not have done. But another champion of non viloence Dalai Lama has following take of Non Violence as means of curbing terrorism.

“It is difficult to deal with terrorism through non-violence,” .”They (terrorists) are very brilliant and educated…but a strong ill feeling is bred in them. Their minds are closed,” the Dalai Lama said.

He said that the only way to tackle terrorism is through prevention.

Their minds are closed is important statement. When your brain is so filled with hatred , ill feeling , when your brain is so convinced about your community ,religion under threat ,when your brain is so convinced about getting heaven after death , when your brain is so convinced about people you are killing is what your god wants , none can do anything about it.

Human brain is most complex thing we have and even though we have made leaps of progress in science still brain remains a mystery.

Challenge is how to de program brains of such people who are programmed to kill.
