6. TERRORISM IN INDIA

7. Definition :
•Broadly speaking, it can be defined as a violent action
which is there by threatening the common people.
Terrorism in India
•Since independence India is affected by two types of terrorisms,
which are divided based on their architecture.
•1) Sub-national terrorism (Naxalism/Maoism): It is due to
the organizations formed and acting within the country
involving the local people.
•2) Non-state terrorism:
It is due to the organizations having their roots outside the
country.

weapons aimed at mass destruction.
• Loss of innocent people’s lives
• Looting of banks.
• Hijacking of buses, planes.
• Crimes such as kidnap, rape.
• Smuggling of goods and weapons.

9. Side effects of terrorism
 The terrorist attacks are a challenge to the peace, progress and
prosperity of our country.
 The terrorist attacks hinder the new investments. Foreign
investors may not find the country safe anymore and may try
to withdraw their current investments even. This in turn leads
to unemployment and under-employment.
 The attacks cause the rise of inflation and reduces the growth
rate.
 The tourism will be seriously affected after terrorist attacks.
Also, the players from other countries may not be willing to
play in our country.
 The attacks cause communal clashes among the people. The
tensions among people will have its impact on a long run.

10. Measures to be taken to fight
against terrorism
• The government should look in to the root cause;
and eradicate sub-national terrorism. It should
focus on the uplifting of the economically and
socially backward classes, mainly tribals, who are
both the active participants and victims of sub-
national terrorism in many cases. It should create
more jobs of good salaries to check out the
problems of both unemployment and under-
employment.

11. Implementable solutions
• Some leaders and rich people are
allegedly financing the terrorist
institutions. The government
should combat against illicit
finance.
 The cyber security cell must be
strengthened.
India should upgrade all of its
weapon and defense systems and
should provide funds in the budget
accordingly.
