Terrorism has become a global issue and is the most isolated of so many other socio-political evils associated with the country because it is “breaking away’ from the main stream, a section of the people who resort to use the force of arms to overwhelm their opponent.
It is a challenge to the authority of the state and a revolt against the entire social-political order of the day in decisive manner.
Terrorism has created a panic situation in the whole world, It has ‘ grown of time’ and not all of a sudden. There are so many social-political and economic factors responsible for the rise of terrorism.
Sometimes communal organisations use the unemployed youth for the purpose of spreading violence in society in order to disrupt the established social system. They do this to achieve success in their unlawful demands.
In India too, we have witnessed such a situation when once terrorists were promoted in Punjab by the then ruling party and its leader, which later on proved to be a suicidal step for the ruling party.
Terrorism has no boundary, no emotion, no feeling. It can occur anywhere anytime in any form against anyone no matter whether it is mosque in Karachi (Pakistan), Akshardham temple in Gujarat (India), World Trade Center (USA) or school children of Russia.
1995 was the year which can be said to be the period when terrorism emerged evidently as a major threat to modern civilization. For the first time it became clear that the new breed of terrorists see the entire civilized world, including moderate Muslim regions, as a threat to their global aims. It is not just countries like India that are a target.
Previously it was presumed that terrorist violence would be restricted to Kashmir only. But this presumption has been proved baseless and now it is clear that terrorism views all civilized countries with a liberal tradition as fair game for the spread of terror.
Attack on Parliament in New Delhi and J&K Assembly were the most horrible terrorist’s attack.
In Jammu region, on December 28, 2022 four terrorists were killed as Indian forces averted a major terror attack in the city. A suspicious truck was stopped at Sidhra checkpoint in Jammu, when the terrorists who had made a cavity inside opened fire. The Indian forces then retaliated, converting it into a full-fledged encounter. Similarly after three day of the incident, four civilians were killed and many others injured in a suspected terrorist attack at upper Dangri village, about eight kilometres from Rajouri town of Jammu and Kashmir on New year.
