India and many countries around the world are victims of terrorism. Countries like Israel, continents like Europe, Africa, and Asia are the victims as well. If we examine the situation closely, we can see that only a handful of countries are involved in terrorism. Pakistan is an epicentre of terrorism, without a doubt. Some Middle Eastern countries and some African countries are also into the terrorism business. Countries like Somalia and Yemen are also considered dangerous. The reason is the location of these countries. They are pirates of the Arabian Sea. No doubt, the Indian army eliminates cowardly pirates every day. They eliminate the pirates and destroy the ships and boats they use in such operations. The whole world appreciates the same. But have you ever thought about how terrorists get their strength? How do they obtain the necessary resources, including the weapon, funding, space to establish and operate, authority, training, knowledge, and courage? In this blog, we will study some of the reasons why terrorism exists. I do not support terrorism in any way, absolutely, nor do I suggest ideas for strengthening it. This blog is purely to gain knowledge, and I am sure many of us already know how terrorists are gaining their strength. Local Support Spreading Propaganda and False Commentary Absolutely and without a doubt, if the government supports terrorism, terrorism will exist. On the contrary, without the support of the government, terrorists will hardly survive. However, I cannot firmly say that terrorism only exists because of government support, because despite the government’s efforts to eliminate terrorism, terrorism may exist in countries because of the support of local people. Kashmir is the best example over the last 100 years. India has taken numerous measures to eliminate terrorism in Kashmir and other parts of India. But the local and loyal people support terrorism. Such people will never treat India as their own country. The unfortunate thing is, such people will enjoy the government measures’ subsidies, freebies, free education and everything that the government has to offer, but still will spew poison against the government. Such people are OR For example, we have a ‘peaceful radical’ community in India that will never loudly say that India is their country. They will never show patriotism. Instead, they will be loyal internationally to their religion only and can go to any extent to eliminate anyone other than their religion. Such people will never accept India as their country. The biggest irony is that the law says – I understand that oppositions, ordinary people, or a few media personnel occasionally question the government and hold it to account. However, in the event of an emergency, it is expected to stand with the country, not to open unnecessary fronts, thereby giving the enemy either a target or an escape route. Not every situation is for playing politics. Sometimes, unity can defeat the enemy without even going to war. The best example is the 9/11 attack on the USA. No US citizen challenged the US government over military action against the enemy. Everyone wanted revenge. So, their decision to eliminate the enemy itself gained the support of all the citizens. Simultaneously, very few countries questioned the US over the military action. On the other hand, recently in April 2025, Pakistani terrorists attacked innocent tourists in Pehelgam in Kashmir, Jammu and Kashmir state. All the proofs are against Pakistan. Within less than a week, the intelligence bureau found the information by intercepting the communication between Pakistan’s army and the terrorists. Even after presenting the evidence to the world, many domestic adversaries are questioning the validity of the proof itself. This has given Pakistan the advantage, and as usual, it has denied all the allegations and demanded an unbiased investigation by asking the UN to intervene and serve as a jury in this case. This is precisely how enemies within the country act, and terrorism gets the chance to spread its operations. Most such enemies are politicians, greedy to rule the state or country, but aren’t getting the opportunity. This clearly states the mentality of going to such an extent that they do not even bother to see if the country is breaking down or retreating while chasing the ruling chair. I strongly feel that such snakes in the sleeve must be treated as enemies and terrorists themselves. Asylum to Terrorist Joining Terrorism Attack By Locals Courtesy ‘The Indian Express’ Drug Supply Local people’s earnings Such individuals utilise India’s resources but never demonstrate loyalty to the country, nor do they show any gratitude to India at all. So, what is the point of allowing them in India? The left party’s point is on Humanitarian grounds. Can the left party go to Pakistan and stay there on any such humanitarian or other grounds? Such migrated people, whether temporary or permanent, enjoy the resources of India and never want to leave because they are benefiting from the increased facilities and infrastructure available to them. Yet without any gratitude, they start creating instability based on religion, minority victim cards, and human rights victim cards. Then, such people are the ones who give asylum to terrorists, and the whole cycle of terrorism begins again. Conclusion In this blog, we saw how local people support and run terrorist activities. Anyway, I do not mean that 100% of a particular area is supporting terrorism, but their name is indeed defamed by those who do it. Such local supporters are nonetheless than a snake in the pocket. They will eventually bite you. Unloyal locals are those who are pushing their generations into such terrorist activities and creating hatred. All they want is to be in the mainstream and examine where their true interests lie. If nothing works, then another peaceful way is to leave the country to their favourite and live without harming locals and supporting terrorism. If even that solution doesn’t work, then there is always an Army to counter and eliminate such a mentality. In the next blog, we will
