Question and options
Read the following passage and answer the question.
For the international community, the year 2001 can undoubtedly be called as an year of global terrorism. In the United States, if the terrorists could muster the courage of attacking the World Trade Centre, in India, they attacked the Parliament House.
For what does the World Trade Centre stand? For what does the Indian Parliament stand? What is terrorism and who are the terrorists? These questions are agitating in the minds of the entire world community and their answers do not appear to be simple.
The World Trade Centre is the symbol of prosperity of America - the richest country of the world. The Indian Parliament is the national symbol of the largest democracy of the world. And, both these symbols have been attacked.
Terrorism is a dangerous method adopted by some perverted minds and terrorists are a group of violent and perverted religious fanatics. They do not want the world to prosper and peace and friendship to become the world-order. They want this world to become a war-place, full of violence and horror where every human being looks at each other with hatred and animosity. But, the right thinking and peace loving people will not bow before the terrorists. They will struggle to end terrorism. They will struggle to bring back peace, prosperity and a feeling of friendship amongst nations and individuals.
