Rampant Radicalization

Rampant Radicalization

   Pakistan can't eradicate the rampant extremism until and unless the regressive ideologies are rooted out.Recently,a proposal was presented  in the upper house where intelligence agencies were asked to collect the data of students, a step towards identifying and curbing  the extremit groups in institutions.
    Authorities need to understand that this curse can never be countered sans ideological battle that includes:overhauling the orthodox curriculum.Abolishing the rigid and authoritative teaching methodologies,encouraging free thinking in the students sans any biased approach.The radicalisation,if not controlled,would tear the state asunder. Repressive state apparatus is being used to counter terrorism and exterimism which has been entrenched in the minds.How can the disease be cured which is yet to be diagnosed?
   Radicalisation will continue to haunt the lives of upcoming generations until and unless a counter terrorism ideology is implanted in the minds of youth.This can best be instilled in students through curriculum that curbs rigidity,extermisim and biased thinking while  promotes diversity,tolerance and free thinking.
