The text discusses the problem of terrorism, defining it as a method of repeated violent action employed by various actors for political, criminal, or personal reasons. The immediate victims of such violence are often selected randomly or symbolically, serving as a means to generate messages of fear. In a broader sense, terrorism is described as the use of indiscriminate violence to instill fear for political, religious, or ideological purposes. In India, terrorism is categorized into four main types: 1. **Ethno-nationalist terrorism** - Aimed at creating a separate state either within India or independently. 2. **Religious terrorism** - Based on religious motivations against specific groups, such as the Mumbai 26/11 and Uri attacks. 3. **Left-wing terrorism** - Focused on economic ideologies, viewing existing socio-political structures as exploitative and advocating for revolutionary change through violence. 4. **Narcoterrorism** - Involves violence related to illegal drug trafficking, exemplified by drug violence in northwest India. The text also hints at the occurrence of various terrorist attacks in India, but does not elaborate on specific incidents.
