2. Terrorism In India
 A terrorist is a person who creates fear panic among the
organization to which he belongs. terrorists are well organized
and well-trained and it often becomes difficult for the law
enforcing agencies to arrest them in time. They indulge in
senseless violence on a large scale in order to intimidate the
people and the government. Hijacking of aero planes, arson,
robberies, murder of eminent personalities, shooting down of
innocent people indiscriminately, use of transistor bombs and
other explosives, spreading of rumors’ etc. are the various
devices used by terrorist organizations in order to achieve
their political ends. Terrorists constantly change their hide-
outs and their tactics in order to escape arrest and
punishment. When arrested, they try to commit suicide or are
killed by their own close associates.

3. History
 Broadly speaking, there are some important factors noteworthy in
context of terrorism in the country. First, there is foreign hand
behind it in certain jar second, there are mercenaries who are
carrying on insurgency in the name of 'Jihad' in Jammu and
Kashmir, and thirdly it is a sort of revolt of the people of certain
areas and mass-based movement against repression on the political
grounds
 In Jammu and Kashmir it is actually proxy war being waged by the
mercenaries trained and armed by Pakistan with a conspiracy by
Inter Service Intelligence (ISI) and armed forces of that country.
They cross border from favourable points on line of control pushed
by Pak security forces and carry on insurgency in Indian territory.
 The pro-Pak terrorist organizations and their political wings who do
not recognize J & K integral part of India; favour them; but they are
unable to make headway as they do not enjoy the support of the
common people and isolated. The local people have also been a
victim of these terrorist activities.

4. Reason of Terrorism
 Kashmir history is an integral part of its foreign policy and military
policy. In order to understand Pakistan's relationship to the war on
terror and with Islamist groups, it is important to factor in
Pakistan's interest in Kashmir. Kashmir's contentious existence has
made it home to militant groups who have used terrorist tactics as
part of a drive for an independent Kashmir, as well as others with
pro-Pakistani views. we often call Kashmir is actually Jammu and
Kashmir, a majority Muslim Indian area between India and
Pakistan. The Kashmir dispute began in 1947, when India was
divided into a Hindu state and a Muslim state.
 Both India and Pakistan laid claim to Kashmir. Many Kashmiris
wanted independence. However, when Pakistani Pashtun tribes
invaded, Kashmir's leader requested Indian help. India sent troops
to Kashmir to eject the Pashtun tribes, and Pakistan responded by
sending in its military. In 1949, a ceasefire agreement, known as the
Karachi Agreement, divided Kashmir between India and Pakistan.

5. Disadvantages of terrorism
 Poverty
 Unemployment
 Economic
 Death of innocent citizens
 Effect on tourism

6. Poverty
 Terrorism is the main cause of poverty.
 The population in J&K falls in Below Poverty Line (BPL)
category, with about 98 per cent among them living in
the rural areas, says the Economic Survey. The ES which
was tabled in the Legislative Assembly yesterday says
that nearly 24.21 lakh persons are poor in J&K (21.63 per
cent) of which 22 lakh live in the rural areas and only
2.21 lakh in urban areas.
The poverty graph, according to the ES, has however
shown constant decrease. As per the ES the poverty was
30.34 per cent (Rural) 9.18 per cent (Urban) and 25.17
per cent Combined (R+U) in 1993-94.

7. Unemployment
 Unemployment has been a constant threat to the
Kashmir society and is increasing at a fast pace.
About 6 lakh educated unemployed youth of the
state have been registered with district Employment
and Counselling Centres (E&CC)
 The main reason of this unemployment in the state is
due to the threat of terrorism and slow down of
industrial development in the state.

8. Economic
 Terrorism mostly effected on economy of the state.
 Kashmir produces a variety of fruits, vegetables and
grains, yet 40% of them rot because there is no or little
advanced processing and packaging service available,
thereby depriving people of thousands of jobs.
 Human resource development can never be achieved in
a land or a nation where basic human rights are denied
and don’t even exist on paper. How can we expect to
develop our human resources when our youth are
deliberately ill-treated and discriminated against in
recruitment and education.

9. Death of innocent citizens
 Terrorist groups in the area kill the innocent citizens
and the security forces.
 More than 60,000 people, mostly innocent civilians,
have died in the 15-year conflict. Half a million
Indian troops are stationed in Kashmir, fighting
Pakistani-funded militants who slip across the
border to attack the troops but also to terrorize the
local population into giving them shelter and
assistance.

10. Effect on Tourism
 Tourism has been identified as an industry with
potential of development next to agriculture and
horticulture in kashmir. terrorism continues to pose
a serious threat in Jammu and Kashmir. Frequent
curfews and strict security measures helped to
ensure that hardly any tourists came to the valley
and the famous houseboats on its lakes found
deserted.

11. Conclusion
Terrorism is a very dangerous for every country .Due
to terrorism many bad moments happened like
Poverty , Unemployment , Effect on Economics, Death
of innocent people , Effect on Tourism.
