Letters: Roots of terror

Apropos the editorial, "Tackling terror", the inexorable slide in the global economy after two decades of boom, has affected nations in different ways. While democratic countries such as the US saw movements such as Occupy Wall Street, the euro zone buckled and the UK inflicted Brexit on itself.Arab Spring sprouted in some countries of West Asia, while others in the that region are grappling with an amorphous cause, made worse by plunging oil revenues and growing authority of radicals. More recently, there was a coup bid in Turkey.History is replete with periodic sociopolitical unrests. What is worrying about the current unrests is that these are becoming more rabid and radical. Worse, they are usurped by freelance or franchise extremists, where the perpetrators and the "cause" feed off each other and terror ensues as the byproduct.The world over, baffled leaderships are looking for solutions to a growing menace that has its roots in political and economic non-inclusiveness.R Narayanan
