Well i surely think that swapping Terrorists for Hostages is an Encouragement to Plane-Hijackers so the only way we can stop this is first and formost prompt action must be taken to execute these terrorist unlike Kasab who is enjoyin our hindu tradition of "Atithi devo bhava". If immediate action is taken against these terrorist and give them capital punishment these terrorist will have nothing to swap. Secondly tight security should be maintained not only in the ground but also in the air so that such activities cannot take place

Hi i am vikram singh shekhawat, and i would like to initiate this group discussion and i am not in support of terrorist exchange with the hostages, due to our soft policies towards these kind of activities, its now like a tradition in our country.
We must be harsh like russians as they don't surrender so easily, and even the swapping of terrorists has increased the number of hijackings considerably as it is the easiest way to get through their demands.

yes i universly agree with saurav agarwal, becausy we dont have strict lows and only for this lacking terrorists taking the adevantage. if we would have punished them on the spot they would have not done it. if some one comes under the doc and found gulty we should cut their all boddy parts and the person who is victim he should struggle fore death and again people who are involved in such groups they will not dear. and ther might be such happnings.

In hostage situations, another angle to approach the situation is to use the U.S strategy of "We do not negotiate with terrorists"
However in most cases, this situation cannot be applied in most situations as there is always a human life at stake.
So it always boils down to the question "Is one life worth another?" If we exchange a terrorist for a hostage, that free terrorist could end up killing more people. If we do not exchange the terrorist for a hostage, the hostage could lose his/her life. So it's a very difficult decision to make, after all, this situation is very similar to playing god!

I totaly agree with the fact that Swapping Terrorists for Hostages an Encouragement to Plane-Hijackers the reason is that our government cannot take the risk of so many lives just because of 1 terrorist its a big thing to them.Rather they can negotiate with the terrorists about it and should any how get them to now that wat they are doing is wrong or they can be trapped in an circumstances so that they definitely have to work according to the government,this need proper planning and should be dealt with great shrewdness.

Yes I truley agree with niketan. Terrorists take advantage of the judicial system of India and so they indulge in crimes like hijacking knowing that even if they are caught, their fellow person will again do indulge in some illegal activity in which they will demand him in exchange of hostages and so I firmly believe that kill these terrorist as soon as they are found guilty.
