Abstract
Being located in South Asia, the present epicenter of terrorism, India has fallen in the gravity of terrorism since independence. It has claimed more lives in India than anywhere else in the world. More than one hundred thousand persons have fallen as the victims of terrorism in various parts of the country. The Indian version of terrorism is as old as the1940s and started just after the independence. Even the pre-independence era was not totally free from terrorist activities. Terrorism, in some extent practiced as a weapon in the freedom movement especially in Bengal, though the overall picture was non-violence.
