2. Terrorism In India
 A terrorist is a person who creates problem and fear panic to
whole the world and to organization which he belongs. terrorists
are well organized and well-trained persons who do crimes at
high level 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 create panic and huge loss to
the country, and try to weaken the law and try to take the control
on the country by making other fools. 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 well set goals.
Terrorists are constantly changing their tactics and their
hideouts to escape arrest and punishment. When arrested, they
attempt suicide or are killed by their own aides.

3. History
 There are many factors responsible for terrorism . First , a foreign
hand behind it helping terrorist in order to weaken the country
,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 or revenge 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 carried out
by some hardliners and aid provided by Pakistan agencies. 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 as a part of India , carriers out attacks on
innocent persons.

4. Reason of Terrorism
 Pakistan's Kashmir history is an integral part of its foreign policy and
military policy. Pakistan’s interest in war to terrorism and helping
extremist is because of Kashmir . Kashmir is now a home to militant
group who uses terrorist tactics as part of a drive for an independent
Kashmir, as well as others with pro-Pakistani views. we often call
Kashmir a 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 claim to have Kashmir. Many Kashmiris
wanted independence. However, when Pakistani tribes
invaded, Kashmir's leader requested Indian help. India sent troops to
Kashmir to eject help the Kashmir's, and Pakistan responded by
sending in its military. In 1949, a ceasefire agreement, known as the
Karachi Agreement, divided Kashmir between India and Pakistan.

Kashmir society and is increasing at a fast pace. About
6 lakh educated unemployed youth of the state have

due to the threat of terrorism and slow down of
industrial development in the state.

grains, yet 40% of them rot because there is no or little
advanced processing and packaging service
available, thereby also creating unemployment.
