In this article you will have a brief essay concept of terrorism, terrorism in India, Global terrorism

 

Introduction:

 

What is terrorism?

Is it really hard to define terrorism?

Is any special explanation needed to define terrorism?

If the answer is 'no' to both the later questions, then why is terrorism a problem prevalent in all parts of the world whether it be a developed or developing or under-developed nation.

 

Technically defining, terrorism is the phenomenon of frightening general people at large, by doing illegal activities like bombing, hijacking of aero planes, kidnapping, etc. But practically it has no definition, no perimeter, no dimension, and it can be done in any way, by anyone and in any circumstances.

 

Terrorism in India:

 

Terrorism is now a common news in the morning newspapers. Because of terrorism we have forgotten our characteristic feature of Indian tradition like sacrifice, tolerance, brotherhood, secularism, etc. Many Indian states like Kashmir, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, Tripura, Bihar, etc. are in the grip of terrorism. India is the breeding ground of this intolerable menace. JKLF, GNLF, LTTE, Khalistanis and Bodos are the catalyst to the process. Communal riots are the also the outcome of such terrorism.

 

The Taj Hotel was attacked by the terrorists on 26th November 2008 and the main culprit Ajmal Kasab has been arrested and is under trial. Besides there was an attack on the Parliament on 13th December 2001, which shows that terrorists can reach any place in any time and the peace-loving people are very much terrorized by such evil forces.

 

Global Terrorism:

 

Terrorism is not confined to India alone. The terrorists are active in Palestine, Ireland, Pakistan, Srilanka and even the superpower country like America is not out of reach (On ferrorists grievously stroke America, when the hijacked planes crashed into the buildings of World Trade Centre which collapsed into dust in few seconds, killing many lives. The main brain to work behind it was the unique Osama Bin Laden.

 

Since the incident America has been on its feets and was running operations to trace the unique brain. After a hard inquiry of over 7- 8 yrs, ar last America succeeded to shoot Osama Bin Laden dead on 2nd May 2011.

 

Conclusion:

 

So it is not that we cannot eradicate terrorism, but we should try this collectively and unity is the only way to solve the problem. Terrorism effects the economy and stops the prosperity of a nation. It damages property, takes lives of innocent people and encourages enmity and disharmony among people. So terrorism should be stopped at all cost and all collective efforts should be given to solve the problem.
