 In this session we are going to discuss a very controversial topic of terrorism and firstly we have to define that what is terrorism then we will try to highlight some groups and their objectives and their strategies with this concept of terrorism. So terrorism is considered as the spread of fear among the public or masses of society. Many factors have contributed in creating this phenomena and the term has been used in various contexts and sometimes in biased manners also where the authorities try to degrade or defeat their opponents by assigning them to title of terrorism or terrorists like we all are familiar with that the Kashmiris those are struggling for their own rights, the Palestinians those are struggling for their rights, some circles claim them as the terrorists. So we can say that terrorism basically what is to create an environment of fear and this is what those people who are promoting terrorism want to gain some of their objectives and terrorism can be state sponsored for political motives and many emerge due to domestic and foreign policies of state. So sometimes due to the lack of democratic norms and systematic violations of human rights actually they want to have some cover and by using terrorist activities they actually want to have such objectives like social and political justice, they do not have proper social and political justice so they are just pressurizing the government for their pursuance of social and economic and political justice and self termination, racial superiority, foreign policies and democratized government, sometimes they want to change the government and for that purpose they pursue such type of activities. So we can say that such activities are also financed by those other who do not participate in these activities directly but they do wish them to be practiced and carried on. Sometimes it happens that there is no direct involvement in any terrorist activities but they do financial support and then there are some groups who have their specific objectives or purposes and on the basis of those objectives there are basically three types of terrorism which are domestic, nationalistic and religious terrorism. So these three types of terrorism can be initiated both at the state and global level and depending on their goals and resources to meet them. Now in this world because there are a lot of groups active who want to achieve their targets, there are a lot of strategies to achieve them. Normally what is divided is that sometimes domestic issues are more relevant, sometimes especially ethnic, nationalistic identity groups are more active and sometimes these terrorist groups they have some religious identities also. So the purpose of categorizing these groups is to evaluate what actually they want to achieve because we have just defined the basic purpose of terrorism is to create a free environment of fear and through fear pressurize people, create fear in people and pressurize government groups and such groups want to gain certain objectives and we have also seen those objectives that sometimes they have a very particular link with a specific area, sometimes their agenda is regional and sometimes their agenda is even on a global level, we can see that.
