Future Challenges of Religious Insurgents
by S Kalpna Sharma
The efforts of US in containing insurgency, despite being acknowledged world over, needs a review in analyzing the future pattern of destructive wars. Today, while going through the compilation of one of the best known magazines ‘The Times’, I recounted the horrific face of religious wars.
While analyzing the genesis of the problem, which is going to emerge in the future due to religious intolerance, I have been able to visualize the destructive course of events to come. The perception of war, terrorism, insurgency and struggle would differ from people to people. What government perceives war; it might be the people's struggle against oppressions. What you perceive rebellion; it might be a struggle for independence.
I would like to record that the evolution of the universe is not new. Most of the times, we hear people searching and discovering something new which has been already in existence. The question of existence is truly speaking is the real question of survival. The struggle to survive for self is different than that for the common man. The various forms of struggle for freedom, liberty, human rights, nationality, country, caste and social justice are similar in nature and style but differ in execution. The future struggle of people is going to be based on religion on one side and Haves (HV) and Haves Not (HVN) on the other. As both the issues are complimentary to each other for sustenance, therefore, various politicians to fulfill their dreams would exploit the HVN for religion. Islamic scholars perceive that the influence of western culture through electronic and visual media is threatening the very survival of Islam as religion. What I perceiveThis, that this misconception is leading the world towards a different kind of future war. 9/11 strike on US can not be linked to any type of war. It is indeed termed a terrorist act of fanatics; but the suicidal attack on Indian Parliament was not the same.
The aims and objectives of the planners and strikers were different. How HVN are going to be the real tools of all social disorder in future is the right question to be reviewed? These people are going to play a vital role in future wars of insurgency in the world. The main reason would be the materialistic comforts and their ability to have the benefits of its usage. During the course of preparations, I have encountered a young HVN who was trying to snatch his perceived right of survival by the means of robbery. He was not feeling guilty of his action. Rather; he glorified it to bring to the attention of the media glare and became a national hero in crime.
The US, UK, France, Germany, Canada and Australian policy makers and national leaders have a totally different perceptions on HV and HVN of their citizen and the rest of the world including Asian. They believe that the daily requirement of materialistic comfort resources of their citizens with respect to others in the world is much higher; therefore, they have the right to grab materialistic resources in the world to meet the state obligatory duties.
With this as the background, I now analyze the future of insurgency in the world. Though developed nations can see through every corner of the world through their telescopic lenses but they would fail to gauge the depth of drive and determinations of Islamic and other religious bigot. The death of fifty innocent civilians on the street of Baghdad by lass of fourteen is the beginning of future insurgency.
