There is no better way to handle terrorist virulence, on the soft targets than decisive police action. The gunning down of five terrorists in Bangalore on 29th September 2002 by a team of Tamil Nadu commandos came in the wake of killing of two terrorists, on September 25 in the Akshardham temple in Gujarat. Both operations should set an example for the police force. More important, they ought to send a clear signal to India's destabilisers that the security forces mean business about eradicating the terrorist menace. The death of Imam Ali, one of the five in the Bangalore encounter, conveys the message that extremists Islamic fundamentalists cannot run forever. Terrorists target soft vulnerable places of open transparent societies and have no respect for national boundaries. United struggle against the global terrorism is the only way to combating terrorism.

The author's concern in the book is mainly with a small but important, poignant and neglected sector-the victims of terrorism and how we can help them. It is intended to seek ways to understand the experience, to ameliorate the suffering, and when possible, to prevent it. There is another factor, even more important, which has been dealt exclusively in the book is that the tumult and drama surrounding a notorious event once over, the victims are soon forgotten. No effort is made to understand and care for the victims in those areas where he/she suffers the most: the wounds to the mind and spirit.
