Why Eliminating Terror-Breeding Armies is The Need of the Hour

How long can a civilized world tolerate a nation that breeds chaos under the guise of sovereignty? Should terror-breeding armies be allowed to rise again and again like a plague unchecked? Is it not time for decisive action that not only punishes but permanently dismantles the machinery of evil?

Ancient Indian history offers profound lessons rooted in justice, not sentimentality. Parashurama, the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu, embodies such a doctrine of absolute, corrective action. His saga is not one of blind rage but of righteous retribution. When the Kshatriyas, the warrior class entrusted with protecting Dharma, turned into tyrants and oppressors, Parashurama did not merely punish a few guilty individuals. He eliminated the entire corrupt class 21 times, ensuring that the disease of Adharma was purged from the roots. 

The Story of Parashurama: Justice Without Hesitation

Parashurama's father, the sage Jamadagni, was brutally murdered by the sons of a Kshatriya king named Kartavirya Arjuna. This act of savagery was not an isolated event but a symptom of a decaying class that had betrayed its sacred duties. Parashurama, understanding that patchwork remedies would fail, launched a relentless campaign across the earth. 

He annihilated the Kshatriya clans 21 times, ensuring that those who abused power were eradicated completely. He did not allow even a flicker of oppressive power to survive. His was not cruelty; it was purification. It was the restoration of balance, necessary for the survival of righteousness. His main target was the Haihaya dynasty, descendants of King Kartavirya Arjuna, and ‘killing Kshatriyas 21 times’ refers to repeated purges of this and other unrighteous Kshatriya lineages, not the literal extinction of the entire Kshatriya class. He killed the Kshatriyas 21 times as an act of retribution for his father's murder.

Drawing the Parallel: The Modern Threat of Terror States

Today, the world witnesses a modern-day parallel. A state like Pakistan, instead of being a responsible actor on the global stage, has repeatedly chosen the path of terrorism, nurturing it as state policy. Every few years, despite warnings, sanctions, and peace talks, Pakistan's military establishment engineers another tragedy — whether in Mumbai, Pulwama, or Pahalgam.

Yet, like in the ancient times, selective responses have proven futile. Surgical strikes, air raids, and diplomatic rebukes are akin to trimming the branches of a poisoned tree while leaving its roots intact. The cancer survives and spreads again.

The Doctrine of Complete Neutralization

Drawing from the ‘doctrine of Parashurama,’ the only effective strategy is complete neutralization. Every time a terror-breeding army like Pakistan's rises, it must be dismantled in totality. The process must be repeated with relentless precision until the very idea of maintaining a terror-army becomes unthinkable.

Why must this be done?

• Moral Imperative: Just as Parashurama fought to protect Dharma, modern nations have a duty to protect innocent lives from the scourge of terror.
   
• Strategic Necessity: Allowing terror states to rebuild is not mercy; it is negligence. Future generations pay the price of such misplaced leniency.
   
• Global Peace: An armyless, weaponless Pakistan would not only safeguard South Asia but promote global stability and peace. Terrorism thrives where military impunity exists. Neutralizing that base is a service to humanity.

Historical Justifications & Contemporary Validation

History vindicates such actions. After World War II, Germany and Japan were demilitarized to prevent future wars. Today, they stand as prosperous, peaceful nations. Strength comes from dismantling engines of destruction, not preserving them under false hopes of reform.

Similarly, the global community must realize that peace cannot coexist with states that treat terror as a strategic asset. To believe otherwise is naive, dangerous, and self-defeating.

Final Reflections: Will We Act Like Parashurama or Perish by Inaction?

Will we continue trimming the branches while the poisonous roots grow deeper? Will we wait for another generation to bleed before realizing that partial measures are moral failures? Is it not time to embrace the ancient wisdom that knew when evil must be cut off completely to allow righteousness to flourish?

Parashurama's doctrine is not just a mythological tale; it is a timeless manual for decisive leadership. It teaches that when Adharma becomes institutionalized, mercy to the wicked becomes cruelty to the innocent.

If we truly desire peace, then courage must replace cowardice, clarity must replace confusion, and action must replace appeasement. The rivers of blood spilled by terror demand a river of resolve in response.

The question is not whether we can afford to act. The question is whether we can afford not to.
