- Raghu Raman asks you: "Have you been personally affected by terrorism?" No matter where you live, he argues, your answer should be yes. In this talk, he looks into the changes that even small acts of terror force into into our lives.
Raman has a unique blend of career experiences combining a decade plus of serving in the Armed Forces as a combat soldier, another decade plus heading three companies and then working for the government for the past four years in the Ministry of Home as the CEO of the National Intelligence Grid. He is considered to be an authority on defence and security related matters and in addition to being a visiting faculty in management and business institutions, is a columnist for a business paper. In his talk, Raman will talk on "Three Myths of Terrorism" and show how each one of us is paying a price for terrorism on a daily basis. More startlingly how many of us are also abetting it inadvertently.
If you like this speech then I personally recommend reading his book " Everyman's War". This particular speech is part of that book... It is simply awesome. Every Indian should read this book.....
Really..this speech is from that book ??
I had it in my wishlist. Definitely next👍
He talks sense. We all together can bring about the change.
I think he is just trying to point out in what ways terrorism affects us. From what I understand he is not undermining the pain/suffering which the relatives and friends go through if their loved ones are killed/injured, he is just trying to make us aware of how is everyone more or less affected by terrorism unknowingly. I never thought it this way. I must say that this was new learning for me.
Yeaah!! He was a military officer and their work is to aware people not to give sympathy
An excellent speech. Provides a great insight.
He is the best communicator I have seen. He has all the ducks in the row to give us great clarity.
When zero Tolerance to Terrorism then why Tolerant to every other crime in society... this is the theme.. nicely put forth the ideas.. A slap on rulers rather politicians for every other crime that is being allowed in society....
Sir, I am in Savdhan and saluting with deepest respects from the heart for the Brave-hearts ofthis Golden Bird

Good Motivating Speech.
You are great leader sir. India needs such type of leader. I wish the day is no far when you will lead our lndia.
Thought provoking !
really good talk..
Great speech. He hit the nail on the head by pointing the malaise that we all suffer from. Not to mention the apathy. Will things change after this ? I doubt it. Most of us are like this: feverish activity or activism followed by chronic inertia .....
Excellent points!
Eye opening 🔱
Absolutely well said. Society has to take responsibility and clean up
Great narrative.
Thought provoking and worth implementing...government to common citizens must take this speech seriously and follow the possible cure suggested by Raghu Raman.
Nandi Chawda
This should become a part of education right from primary school up to P G , Administrative Exams, including the members of all the institutions
EXCELLENT.................
amazing
Great man
Great speech..u know he made me take notice of things that I would not have ..had I not seen him & think really it's true it indeed affects our daily life..& we don't care about it..we just simply don't pay attention to it.. don't even try to evaluate in this context
Good thought & glimpse of Criminology by you sir.
very valued argument.....
Excellent
Great Ragu Raman !
How can he be so fluent and influential in his thoughts
Share it, watch views, and global population even indian population
Too good
I wonder how he updates himself. I enjoyed few interactive fun session online. Great views.
Very nice..
But as the level of security has been growing exponentially, terrorism still finds a way in. So if we suddenly remove security to save expenditure, there will be havoc everywhere.
Simply amazing 🇮🇳
Making all the sense
Nice
Absolutely.
puts the onus on all of us and I think thats much required
+Mariam Karim-Ahlawat we have actually lost the meaning of wat terrorism is among this media hype....the real terrorism is hiding behind the hype.....
Good1
whoa!
@0:49 Sec. You could see the GTA folder on the screen xD xP
Hahaha. Great observation man. 😂
The video could have been better if they had not shown the faces of people sitting there incessantly..but the message given was very improtant and relevant...
Love this talk! Yes, we cannot solve any problem without even trying to address the root causes. Same for terrorism.
If hindutva is the result of the exploitation of the public fear of Islamic radicalisation, then there is obviously a reason for Islamic radicalisation too. It is so important to understand and resolve the root cause for it to resolve terrorism.
Share it
He is the leader of great leaders who secure our country onevery front .
jai hind sir.
d man said d facts.aftr reading d commnts..i felt lik lots of idiots r der in our country who jz catch up on words nd sentencs...not d meaning of d whole speech.
First time someone is talking about root cause of terrorism
not now.
Woww...i never thought like this
Could'nt agree more, well put up speech, however i doupt most of the people get the idea he was talking about, so let me put try to put a light on some of the point he made:
first when he said terrorism is disease which can be cured by physiotherapist not by a surgeon he meant that a person become rebel when he is treated poorly, constantly been reminded by masses he is inferior from them, and something really wrong done to his family by the majority, in return he become angry, and this anger esclated to the point where he want to take ravange, his this condition is being exploited by the opponent groups, at the end we get a terrorist.
Second whe he said that many nationalist leaders give macho statement that they will be intolerant toward terroism, they would be tough on them, what they actualy saying that they will act like surgeon instead of physiotherapist.
Bro you have wrong information, 26/11 is done by bell rich and educated persons
♥
👏
Security is necessary
Anyone please explain the third myth.
these are effect of terrorism...when social evils are there in the existence...we can not afford to be lax in terms of security ... so until and unless everyone preach peach in society,we cannot take expenditure on security to developmental issues...this situation is too utopian to exist...still he has valid points...
Just I want to know your thought on shrinking jobs in Army, Navy and Air Force? Yesterday the talk show on this thing was aired on Loksabha channel.
It deponds upon politician and multi billionaires moves impact in society... Peoples are work though it
But it is required
01:25 time for salman film ?
"Complete Bollocks" Great talk!!
But if we dont pay for those security measures then how can we feel safe
Exactly. I agree with your point
10:24 didi maja aa raha hai😃😃
Raghu ram
Hooda
lot to be done by an ordinary citizen & d Govt to make terrorism ineffective in india
Even if our disease ceases to exist Our neighbour PAKISTAN gets a new disease every single time
That's why the mobilisation of
Counter Terror units and security measures is a must
Its a revamp of the whole spice community. The whole truth is up for sale. Because of you all not being ready to upgrade. Some died just now, who can't take it.
I could not agree with you more. In my opinion there are three fundamental issues. Drugs, Arms and Oil and in that order. All terrorism is a fall out of these and primary in nature. Leave this aside, while I propagate similar views in several forums I find that Indians; general awareness is so poor. We really have a very long way to go for our society to understand your conversation. Nevertheless it is good beginning. I m sure when I share on facebook NO ONE is going to view this. Good luck.
Do I know ur chutiya
Another myth that nobody addresses that terrorism has no religion
what if the one group of patients thought physiotherapy is not permissible according to their believe ?
The last one was Corona Virus
did'nt make much sense
Aptly put terrorism and terror
It's ummmm....awfully difficult to refute what he's saying....
Scroll down the comment section, and you will see a lot of positive comments, alongwith a number of moronic ones!!
Captain Raghu raman not. Raghu raman
By comparing terrorism casualties to road deaths, he is downplaying the significance of terrorism. This guy is a Lefty. The fact is that these casualties are all additive and cumulative. If more people die from road accidents, then does it make someone immoral for campaigning against breast cancer, or campaigning against terrorism?
The way to defeat terrorism is to take the fight to the terrorists - including to their havens. Obviously you can't defeat terrorism by staying on the defensive. That's why the best defense is a good offense.
India is failing against terrorism because it has stupidly allowed Pakistan to acquire a nuclear shield to protect itself while becoming a base of operations for terrorism against India. This is why intelligent countries like Israel and the USA are rightfully concerned about preventing certain rogue states which use terrorism as a prime tool of foreign policy from acquiring nuclear weapons.
We Indians may like to take pride in ourselves, but our record in fighting terrorism is very poor. Other countries around the world don't look to us a role model in fighting terrorism. As far as this fellow's "physiotherapy" prattle is concerned - there is no way solve every social problem. Terrorism is intended as an orchestrated attack on a country's freedoms, whereas crime is only interested in petty profit rather than an explicit attack on freedom. Certainly there is a moral stance that public and civic leaders should take in marshalling society against those who are engaging in orchestrated warfare against society by covert means, which is what terrorism is.
You totally misunderstand the point of this video.
he doesn't downplayed terrorism ..he explained broader impact of terrorism...lefty righty
He didn't misunderstand the speech. He just has a different opinion than you or I. By voicing it, he helps us all gain a better perspective. You'd do well to listen to him rather than criticize.
not cool to keep focusing on women in audience - the camera operator and the producers need to re educated.
Very true.... but utopian logic.... can't be made practical... so complete weste of time .....
Sir, it is difficult but not impossible.
Very vague, almost philosophical kind of a speech. I don't think it solves any of our problems. Who is/will do the running for Ajmal Kasab? I just couldn't get what is the end point of what he was saying. Should we remove our security measures so that the same young men and women can be "economically productive"? By trying to cure the disease, should we go and attack Muridke and Bhawalpur? What is he trying to say? I would be really happy if someone can explain this to a ignorant like me.
Somtirth Chaudhuri let me try
first when he said terrorism is disease which can be cured by physiotherapist not by a surgeon he meant that a person become rebel when he is treated poorly, constantly been reminded by masses he is inferior from them, and something really wrong done to his family by the majority, in return he become angry, and this anger esclated to the point where he want to take ravange, his this condition is being exploited by the opponent groups, at the end we get a terrorist.
Second whe he said that many nationalist leaders give macho statement that they will be intolerant toward terroism, they would be tough on them, what they actualy saying that they will act like surgeon instead of physiotherapist.
@somitirth It is philosophcal but true. This is a long speech hitting various points on various situatios and all the situations are inter-dependent. So what I can try is simplifying it for you by answering your questions.
1. It is a domino effect, we can't undo 26/11, however we can stop these AKs from infiltrating(or getting made) by hitting hteir economy,primarily by stop using black market goods(we never know who is earning money with it).
2. He is talking about 'balance' in the ratio of deploying armed personnel. People demand that there should be more and more and more security everywhere, after every incident. Now if govt will do this, then the eco:security ratio will get skewed and will affect the country economically,AGAIN, affecting the country.
This is way too broad to explain in detail, I hope I was able to explain at least a bit, if not much.
***** Jahangeer Asif Thank you for your kind explanations. I agree with most of your arguments. One thing that I think would be a prudent thing to do, would be to device unambiguous short, medium and long term strategies. Almost all countries around the world are tackling the menace of terrorism tactically and not strategically. A sound strategy needs to be put in place. However, to achieve any sort of strategic victory, short term tactical measures like increased security, intelligence and surveillance are also a must.
What was the purpose of this talk? Was it promo for 'physio-therapists'? Other than a few statistical facts (e.g., security infrastructure is the second biggest employer of men/women in India, etc.), there was nothing of value here. Who is this guy?
he is actually a very awesome guy..you should see his other Ted talks..they are good.
ex - army guy !
I differ on your point of view..the actually made good point here.
he*
he's a former Indian Army officer
Very bad audience
Illogical talk. The worst Ted talk ever I have seen. He was so confused in his points. Everyone is affected by terrorism but not in the form of budgetary money spend on health or education or security but the are affected because of the terror that an attack leave behind. We can't compare the death due to a road accident with the death due to terrorism. A road accident in Mumbai don't produce as much terror in the heart of whole world as a bomb blast produces. Similarly we can't compare piracy and terrorism as same crime. Import of pirated dvd is not taking someone's life or it's not spreading any terror in the country. He talk about the money spend on security should go on education and health? Education, health and everything else will be beneficial only if the country will remain free and safe. Earning of a country depends on businesses and that require safe environment.
This is a biased approach at best. He clearly seems to have an agenda, and is twisting facts to fit into that agenda.
That is 13 minutes of my life wasted that I am not gonna get back.
What exactly??
+Swati Sharma - what makes you think his approach is biased? What do you think could be his agenda? lastly what are the facts you think he his twisting?
+Swati Sharma And I wasted 15 seconds of my life reading your comment. Agenda? He ain't running for president.
Beauty with no brain :D
he is talking absolutely sense you dont have the brain to understan it :D
Rasananda Sahoo: yes because I don't agree with your opinion, I am dumb. Judgmental much?
How is one's appearance related to one's views!
This guy is really mad guy, doesn't know what he is speaking.
