2. INTRODUCTION
All terrorist acts involve violence or
the threat of violence. These violent
acts usually committed by non-
government groups or individual who
are either part of or officially serving
in the military, law of enforcement
agencies, intelligence agencies or
other governmental agencies of an
established nation.
Terrorists attempt not only to create
panic but also to weaken confidence
in the government and the political
leadership of the target country.

6. POLITICAL
CAUSES: This is seen essentially in Assam & Tripura.
The political factors that led to insurgency –cum-terrorism
included the failure of the government to control large scale
illegal immigration of Muslims & Bangladesh to fulfill the
demand of economic benefits for the sons & daughters of the
soil etc.
ECONOMIC
CAUSE: Pradesh,
Andhra Madhya Pradesh , Orissa & Bihar are prime
examples.
The economic factors include the absence of land reforms, rural
unemployment, exploitation of landless labours by land owners etc.
These economic grievance & perception of gross social injustice
have given rise to ideological terrorist groups such as various
Maoist/Naxalite groups operating under different names.
7. RELIGIOUS CAUSES:
The maximum number of terrorist incident & death of
innocent civilians have occurred due to religious terrorism.
While the intensity of the violence caused by terrorism of a
non-religious nature can be related as low or medium, that of
religious terrorism has been high. It involves the indiscriminate
use of sophisticated improvised explosive devices. Suicide
Bombers, the killing of civilians belonging to the majority etc.
ETHENIC CAUSES:
Feeling of Ethenic Separateness is mainly
seen in Nagaland, Mizoram & Manipur

9. GOVERNMENT
CONTRIBUTION
Government promises to provide help in every possible
ways to the affected, but does not fulfill in the proper
way! Government easily talks about providing money
to those who have lost their dear one’s.
THEY FEEL THE IMPORTANCE OF LIFE
CAN BE
REPLACED BY MONEY !
10. At times, the promised facilities are not reached to the
affected
The Government Of Maharashtra announced about $10,000
as compensation to the kin of each of those killed in the
terrorist attack in the Taj Hotel & about $1,000 to the
seriously injured.
Maharashtra Government CM Vilasrao Deshmukh
announced compensation of Rs.1,00,000 to those who got
killed & Rs.50,00 to the injured.
Indian Railway Minister Lalu Prashad Yadav announced
compensation of Rs.5,00,000 & a job to the families who
have lost their dear one’s.
However a study noted that only
174 out of 1,074 victims has received
the compensation!
