As per statistics, India was the sixth affected country out of all the
countries in the world, who was badly affected due to severe terrorism in the
year 2013. This was flashed in the survey report of global terrorism index 2014. This report is very explicit that the death occurred due to terrorism, rose
substantially by 61 percent between 2012 and 2013.
Altogether, nearly 10,000 attacks caused due to this terrorism and a
significant percentage of 44% was increased in 2013 as compared to the previous
year. But India showed a phenomenal increase in terrorism attack in the same
period. The attack increased up to 71% and the number of deaths increased from
a figure of 238 to 404 within a period of two years. The report also highlights
that the border between India and Pakistan is more prone to this attack. As
many as forty three different terrorist groups are very proactive in their
terrorist operation and causing political and social disturbance and
disharmony.
Though the government at the center always shows to be very agile to curb
this terrorism with a tough posture and attitude, but the increased number of
deaths and attacks prove that the administrative and political machineries are
not well equipped and adequate to combat this heinous activity.
The terrorists are broadly categorized in three groups; Islamists,
Separatists and Communists. These different groups are the main culprits behind
this attack. The figure of 80% of the
total deaths from various barbaric and nefarious attacks that took place mostly
in five countries, namely Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria and Syria. Out
of these countries, Iraq was the leading one which emerged as the worst
affected country with respect to terrorism. In a peer rating scale of ten,
which is the maximum level, prone to terrorism, India scored 7.86.
The number of deaths increased on a year-to-year basis from 11133 to
17958 and this record was of the past years of 2012 and 2013. The total 87 countries
witnessed the terrorist attacks of various gravities in 2013. This record was slightly
higher than 81 countries in 2012.
Regarding the number of attacks in India, the same increased by a number
of 55 more in between the year of 2012 and 2013. The statistics say that the
terrorist attacks which invaded India caused lesser casualties and were
classified as non-lethal.
The communist terrorist groups in India are the main and frequent perpetrators
and they are more responsible for cases of deaths in India. The Maoist groups are
identified as the major death and half of the total deaths amounting to 384
were their brain child. These Maoist prefers to target the police personnel because
they are their most hated enemies and these fraternities are susceptible to
injuries and deaths in their hands.
The dispute between India and Pakistan over the issue of Jammu and
Kashmir is the source of Islamist terrorism in India. As per this survey
report, this group accounts for 15% deaths in India. The prominent Islamist
group is Hizbul Mujahideen, who create all nuisance and undemocratic activities
pertaining to this terrorism. They use weapons, arms and sharp arsenal and
easily target the police and they also target the common citizen by bombing
attack.
Globally, the four major terrorist groups, say Al-Qaida, BoKO Haram, ISIS
and Taliban are the major attackers and killers of citizens, police and
authorities in government making this terrorism issue as a sensational one.
