The democratic Feudalism and
Fascism of Asia.
The widespread presence of the mighty European colonial regimes all over the Afro-Asian region till the half of the 20th century was a tall hurdle for terrorism movement. But the exodus of the colonialists was followed by the influx of democratic freedom into all the countries deserted by the Europeans.
The windfall of democratic freedom should have served as a safe kick off to terrorism movements, because, the elimination of fascism and the installation of democracy is the primary goal of the movement; and this is the tallest hurdle in its thorny track to victory.
Though democratic freedom was presented on a gold platter, terrorism movement couldn't venture even an inch towards its goals on religious and ethnic fundamentalism or on feudalism anywhere in the Afro-Asian region.
Even after 50 years of existence as fully-fledged democracies, feudalism continues to be the social order, practically in all the countries of the region, including India which is eulogized as "world's largest democracy". And in almost all of the countries, religious and ethnic fundamentalists have hijacked the democratic system; and they manipulate the government machineries to ensure the continued survival of the feudal system for ever.
In the natural course, genuine terrorism movements are duty-bound to strive for socio- economic reforms, and for this, the leading forces behind the movements should turn their guns against the religious and ethnic fundamentalists of their own communities who turn the wheels of the feudal system. The reminiscence of such a situation itself is a nightmare , and to avoid the imminence of such bloody revolts , the feudal elites had engaged the clergies to pump religious and ethnic fundamentalism in to the leading forces behind the terrorism movements, in order to get their guns turned against other religious or ethnic groups.
In the real sense, the feudal elites are forced to do so, as, otherwise they themselves would be hounded by the poor masses of their own communities.
