The Dynamics of terrorism is a complex phenomena in the global environment politically, socially, psychologically and morally.
History of terrorism is always filled with grief, tragedies, hypocrisy, blood, revenges and unjustifiable dustbins of religious teachings. One person’s terrorist is another person’s freedom fighter. The mother cries when she lost her child due to terrorist attack.
“Terrorism in Indo-Myanmar Region” tries to highlight in small steps, of the complex issue of definition of terrorism in the global scenario. It tries to analyse the conflict environment in South East Asia, Indian subcontinent and finally the Indo-Myanmar region. There are challenges to the national security interest of all the countries in the region from insurgents, militants and terrorists. There are visible and circumstantial evidences and motives that the ethnic and community-based armed militants and insurgents groups will be faded away, wiped-out, or converted themselves into regional terrorist outfits or merged themselves with the global terrorist groups.
