What is the difference between militant and terrorist

In and , there were several high-profile cross-border attacks, including the February strike on the Sunjuwan camp outside Jammu city, leading to the killing of 11 jawans. Essentially, it is a hodge-podge of failed policies, bombast and false claims. The Modi government has, after all, had nearly five years in authority, not just in New Delhi, but in Srinagar as well. But instead of sitting back to reflect on what he had wrought, the prime minister began to move on a new tack, the one in which he sought to have Pakistan identified as a state sponsor of terrorism never mind that he would not commit India to do so , and call for the passage of the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism CCIT.

The problem begins from the very definition of terrorism. The most commonly acknowledged description would categorise it as an attack on civilians for political effect. Included among these are militants in Jammu and Kashmir and the Maoists. The key difference is, of course, one of perception. The difference is important because the Modi government has, in its wisdom, declared that virtually everyone who opposes its policies in Jammu and Kashmir is a terrorist.

Which makes it somewhat difficult to find a way out of the Kashmir miasma. Subscribe to News. Top Stories.
