India is very much prone to terrorism



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.
