When it comes to terrorism and the threats that are given to people who are trying to live in peace, what’s your view on military intervention?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
I think military intervention should be the last option. Before that there should be enough diplomatic interaction. Trust building, communication building efforts should be made.
I would say that track II diplomacy (non-governmental, informal and unofficial contacts and activities between private citizens or groups of individuals) should be engaged much more vigorously than it has been in the past. Business men can make a good bridge between different communities. They can play a very big role. They should put in their efforts, and then if nothing succeeds, the last option should be the military one.
