A Study on Etiology of Terrorism in India

Abstract

Terrorism in India has been a significant threat to the nation’s security and stability for many decades. Our study primarily focusses on the causes and effects of terrorism in India. The employment of technology in counter-terrorism operations is becoming an increasingly vital component of India’s national security. This study examines the implementation of technology in India’s counterterrorism efforts, paying particular attention to surveillance, cybersecurity, and intelligence gathering. The research examines the usefulness of technology in detecting, preventing, and responding to terrorist threats, as well as the difficulties and limitations of over-reliance on technology. The report also evaluates the Indian government’s actions and regulations promoting the use of technology in counterterrorism operations, as well as the role of the private sector in delivering technology solutions. Using contemporary technology to identify and stop terrorist activity has become a more important part of counterterrorism operations in India. This article analyses the causes of terrorism in India and considers how technology may be used to reduce the threat. The study looks on the surveillance, cybersecurity, and intelligence collecting technologies utilised by Indian security services in counterterrorism operations. It also looks at these technologies’ benefits and drawbacks as well as how they affect counterterrorism efforts in India. In order to effectively combat the threat of terrorism in India, the study’s conclusion emphasises the necessity for ongoing technological innovation and enhanced coordination between government institutions. The study concludes with suggestions for enhancing the use of technology in counterterrorism operations in India and a look at probable future advances in this area. The study is founded on a review of pertinent literature, case studies, and the opinions of subject-matter specialist. Both primary and secondary victim’s perspectives and experiences were studied through secondary data. An online survey comprising of 15 questions was circulated among individuals of age group 18-60. The survey results are analysed and interpreted.
