But who are “THEY”?
The broader aim this paper seeks to achieve is bringing forth a fine line between the “cause” and “act” of Terrorism. Terrorism is the act of instilling fear in the minds of general or specific population so as to ensure disruption of peace in the society. The cause of Terrorism could however vary and may at times be justified from a rational perspective. It is important here to understand that no matter how valid is the cause of conducting a terrorist act, it does not provide adequate sanction to take away the life of innocent citizens.
