A terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir has left at least 10 people dead, with the perpetrator targeting Hindus solely due to their religious beliefs. This brutal act of terrorism has sparked outrage among citizens, but as one Twitter user aptly pointed out, "outrage changes nothing." The question is, what can be done to prevent such attacks from happening in the future?

The tweet suggests that simply making a big fuss about it, whether through social media or mainstream media, won't be enough to stop terrorism. Instead, the solution lies in being ruthless in tackling terror and its sponsors, both internal and external. This approach has been successful in the past, as seen in Punjab where long-term peace was achieved after handling terrorism with a firm hand.

The same day that this attack occurred, India is reportedly playing cricket with an external sponsor, raising questions about the country's priorities. It highlights the need for a strong stance against terrorism and its sponsors, rather than merely paying lip service to it.

As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: the time for half-measures is over. The government must take a stand and demonstrate its commitment to eradicating terrorism in all its forms. Only then can we hope to bring about lasting peace and security to our citizens.
