Abstract: Terrorism can be traced back to the 1st century AD, and today, it remains a significant issue affecting both developed and developing countries. In India, the first recorded terrorist incident occurred in the northeastern region in 1980. Since then, various attacks and activities have taken place across the country. Over the last few decades, terrorism has increasingly disrupted the peace in India. According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, terrorism poses a major threat to the nation’s security. The South Asian Terror Portal (SATP) lists 180 terrorist organizations that have operated in India over the past two decades, many of which are linked to transnational terror networks in neighboring South Asian countries like Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan. This article aims to analyze terrorism in India by examining its nature, causes, and effects based on historical data. Understanding the evolving nature of terrorist tactics and radicalism may offer potential solutions to mitigate this ongoing issue.
