Essay on Terrorism - A Threat to the World

Terrorism is an act of showing hatred towards a government or a country. When an individual or a group of people don't like a country or a government, they try to harm that country or government, by all means, these include bomb blasts, kidnapping, threatening, violence, etc. Terrorists also hijack plains and buildings, they ask for money or to get another terrorist free who has been captured in exchange for hostages.

Most of the terrorist organizations are operated in Pakistan hence, it is also known as the center of terrorism. Countries like US and Russia had also funded some terrorist groups to achieve political aims and to become the powerful nation in the world. The most popular terrorist groups are - Al-Qaeda, Tehreek-e-Talibaan Pakistan, Ansar-ul-Islam, etc. All the popular terrorist groups have a birth in Pakistan and are also funded by it. Pakistan is also responsible for the 26/11 attack in India and the 9/11 attack in the US. On 26th November 2008, a group of 10 terrorists from Lakshar-e-Taiba (terrorist organization from Pakistan) attacked Taj Hotel in Mumbai. In this attack, 175 innocents lost their lives. 9 terrorists were killed in the counter-attack and left one was arrested, he accepted that he is from Pakistan and got orders from Lakshar-e-Taiba to carry out this operation across Mumbai, later he was hanged to death.

On 11th September 2001, a hijacked plane by Pakistani terrorists was crashed at the World Trade Center, New York. 2753 innocents lost their lives. This attack was taken by 19 Al-Qaeda terrorists. Later when the FBI investigated it was found that Pakistan has given shelter to the mastermind behind these attacks Osama bin Laden.

Terrorists make money through funds provided by Pakistan and other Gulf Countries, illegally selling drugs, pirated software, pirated games, and weapons.

Most of the terrorist groups receive arms and ammunition from the Pakistani Government and some groups have set up their own factories in Pakistan to produce arms. Terrorists usually target young people and manipulate them killing an innocent is good. They are doing Allah's work by being a part of these terrorist groups, they will impress Allah by killing a non-follower of Islam, they will be sent to heaven after death. But everyone knows killing an innocent will end up in hell, not heaven.

India has always stood up against terrorism and has taken successful measures to stop it. India has taken several steps against Pakistan and terrorism like the Kashmir Act and the airstrike of 2019 (Balakot airstrike). Other countries must take strict actions against Pakistan and the countries that are funding terrorism. The UN has also put several sanctions on Pakistan after the 2001 Terrorists Act

When someone talks about terrorism, the first thought that comes to our mind is Muslim. We have to understand that a terrorist is neither a Hindu nor a Muslim. We can't blame the whole religion just because of some people.

Terrorism and Pakistan have always been a threat to India and the world and we have to take strong measures to stop them. We can stop terrorism by -
  • Cutting their funds by taking action on countries like Pakistan.
  • Assisting the counter-terrorism team by reporting any suspicious activity.
  • Teaching children about terrorism.
  • Destroying the factories that manufacture arms illegally.
  • Eliminating the root of Terrorism.
Several anti-terrorism agencies work to make the world terrorists free, some of them are - NSG, Force One, Maglan, FBI Counter-Terrorism, Delta Force, etc.

No religion is responsible for terrorism.
People are responsible for violence and terrorism.
    -Barack Obama


The world has to realise that terrorism can hit anyone at any place,

and it is the world's responsibility to recognise it and unite against terrorism.

-Narendra Modi
