Remembering Victims, Reaffirming Resolve: National Anti-Terrorism Day Observance

United Against Terror: National Anti-Terrorism Day – Peace and Resilience
On May 21st in India, National Anti-Terrorism Day reminds us of how harmful terrorism is and allows us time to recognize those who have fought against it. On this day, we take time to reflect, stand together against all terrorism and support peace, unity and harmony.
The date is important because of the tragic assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1991. When he was assassinated, it horrified everyone and reminded us how much danger such violent acts can bring to our society. As a result, the government decided to mark May 21st as Anti-Terrorism Day to pay tribute to the victims and increase people’s awareness of the issue.
In different parts of the country, people mark National Anti-Terrorism Day differently. Various organizations in the government, schools and civil society arrange events to inform the public about terrorism. People attend discussions, seminars and workshops to better understand terrorism and discover effective ways of handling it.
One major purpose of this day is to encourage unity and solidarity among Americans against terrorism. Terrorism tries to weaken the nation by spreading turmoil, but National Anti-Terrorism Day reminds us that we are united against it. The belief is set that every citizen has to take action to keep the peace and resist ideologies involved in terrorism.
Day also reminds us of the global impact of terrorism on democracy and human rights. Terrorism undermines the foundations of democracy, and its proliferation poses a threat to fundamental human rights. Honoring the victims of terrorism is also committing to prevent future acts of international terrorism and reaffirming our commitment to freedom.
In a world of interconnected communities, where people are entrusting their lives to fellow citizens, collaboration is essential. The events of September 11, 2001, became more than an isolated tragedy. The alliance that the world has established to embrace founding freedoms and share the burden for collective safety must be fostered.
