"The best way to defeat terrorism is through non-violence".
I think, terrorism and violence are the same. Violence, in any form, is terrorism.
"Gandhiji's principle of non-violence is relevant even today" - A press report says, quoting a VVIP. But the truth is that
Gandhiji's principle of nonviolence is relevent always, and for ever.
The best way to defeat violence (and so terrorism) is through creating positive thoughts in the mind of everyone. This is possible only through a scientific approach.
One of the methods of creating positive thoughts in the mind is through humour and concentration.
You know, puzzles are an excellant method to concentrate.
Therefore, puzzles can give you concentration, pleasure, calmness, and mental health.
So... Puzzles are a method of defeating violence (terrorism).
Shall we send "a puzzle a day" to all the terrorists? That, I am sure, would bring in world peace.

Puzzles : Solution to Terrorism and Violence
You now know that "A puzzle a day" series is ON. But have you thought about the significance of starting the puzzle on October 2 ? As you rightly guessed it, its "Gandhi Jayanthi" , a day for peace and non-violence in the world. Today, I think violence, in its all forms, do trouble all of us, the world over.
The only solution to this problem is teaching and practice of non-violence, the Gandhian principle.
Our first puzzle is intentionally chosen. This logical problem ( I hope you had read and tried it !! ) is very meaningful (not alone interesting).
The missionary, in the hands of the cruel tribal people, is really in danger, for sure. He will be killed in one of the two methods. But, the Chieftain,
to show his smartness (or clever ?) puts a question to him.
He didn't mean to offer an escape route.
Read the question, it's very clear. The cruel Chieftain must be laughing.
But, the Missionary, tackling the question in a very intelligent manner, escaped. His answer was such that, he could not be killed.
The Chieftain had no other way, but to let the Missionary free !
See, this is an excellant case of how intelligence outsmarted the cruelty (terrorism or violence).
The morale of the story is that, intelligence applied well (that's godly! ) can counteract all the evils of the world.
Let's all act intelligently well (that's also Gandhism) to make this world a heaven. A world without violence.
That's the answer to the puzzle of terrorism and violence.
