We witness protests, crime, and violence every day. Terrorism involves the use or threat of violence with the aim of creating fear not only among the victims but among a wide audience. The human society has been constantly evolving. We have come a long way from the Stone Age (when man was a predator) to the diplomatic world of today (where violence is a crime). Human beings have assumed different roles through these different ages; predators, agrarians, barbarians. In today’s society, use of any kind of violence against fellow human beings (very few people have same compassion for the non-human lives) is socially and politically unacceptable. Despite a strong social disapproval, violence and wars still occur in different part of the world, for different motives. It is important to understand how these kinds of violence and war are different from terrorism. Terrorism is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. At present, there is no internationally acceptable definition of terrorism. The common definitions of terrorism refer only to those acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a lone attack), and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants.
