Cause And Effect Of Terrorism In Pakistan

History of terrorism in Pakistan goes back to the time of Russian capture of Afghanistan. Pakistani powers have long had binds to residential aggressor amasses that help propel the nation 's center outside strategy engages. India and Afghanistan have blamed Pakistan 's security and discernment administrations for playing a "twofold amusement".

Pakistan gained its independence in 1947, and was mostly under martial law until 1984, four years before the IMF started granting loans to Pakistan that would never be repaid. Despite having a historic culture and ample natural resources, Pakistan as a country cannot seem to keep it’s head above water financially. Doctor Ehtisham Ahmad of the London School of Economics says,“11 out of 12 IMF programs since 1988

Terrorism is a frightening reality that all people in today’s world must face. While some areas of the world are facing terrorism more than others nearly are regions and all people are facing the violence and devastating effects of terrorism in one form or another.

The Central Intelligence Agency defines terrorism as “premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents” (CIA). This term was specifically created to differentiate terrorism between other acts of violence. These doings of terrorism are not just any act but are specific acts of violence. A dominant reason behind terrorism tends to fall upon religious beliefs and culture ties.

Terrorism due to alienation or Discrimination: Many groups of peoples came from their home land to other countries for employment or education and ultimately settled there. Many times, they face discrimination from the original citizens of the countries where they shifted. These groups may become jaded towards the society and feel excluded. Due to sentiments of discrimination and isolation, these groups become more conservative and start terrorist acts against the original citizens and government.

Terrorism is the act of engaging in destructive acts or causing mayhem by a group of people in order to pursue their agenda. This act of intolerance has been on the rise especially in Muslim countries. Terror groups such as the al-Qaida and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant have emerged in different parts of the Asia and Africa. Their agenda is to impose the sharia law in the Muslim community. This is because they feel oppressed by the Western countries which are composing of the Christian majority (Duyvesteyn & Peeters, 2015).

Terrorism is not a linear trend; its perpetrators adapt it to suit their timing and situations. What changes is the "behavior" of terrorism - The operational characteristics built around the motivations and rationales.

First, what causes someone to become a terrorist? Many factors can propel someone to become a terrorist, like anger, lack of education, bad

Economic factors: Due to income disparity in Pakistan and the adverse economic conditions, people are tending to save rather than to spend. Moreover, the increase in unemployment rate and inflation rate also supports these assumptions. However, on the other hand, the increase in the wealth of already wealthy people has increased the use of Dine in restaurants which is one of the stimuli for McDonald’s to open a branch in Pakistan. Furthermore, cost of labor has decreased over the years making labor cheap in Pakistan as compared to other countries has also influenced foreign investments. Examples of Economic factors are Growth rate, inflation rate, unemployment rate, interest rates, exchange rates, labor costs, labor supply etc.

Terrorism has four groups that small groups pursue which are, ideological, ethnic, religious exclusion and persecution. There are also groups of terrorist which is the left wing, right wing, ethnonationality and sacred. All of these groups relate to a historical phoneme, left wing intertwines with communist theories, right wing relates to fascism, ethnonationality goes back to the wave of decolonization and sacred is the most significant group in modern times because it relates

Three structural causes of terrorism are environmental, political and cultural. Three precipitant causes of terrorism are social, cultural or historical facilitation, organizational development or split, and support be it financial, training, intel, weapons, and recruits. Environment, political and culture are all three necessary conditions and that is because growing up in an environment or society that has a strong influence for terrorist organizations does not necessarily warrant that an individual will join an organization but instead adds an influence that would otherwise not have been there. There is also the aspect that a place can be very political but it not have forms of terrorist organizations. The precipitant causes act more as

Personally I believe the root cause of terrorism is simply disagreement. Reasons behind the disagreement could be everything from race, religion, politics, or even land. When people strongly disagree with other people's beliefs things can get violent. This is when the terrorism starts. People begin to terrorize each other in hopes they will stop believing and expressing their opinion.

Since the reign of the Taliban and constant conflict, Afghanistan has yet to establish a stable economy and functional administration. This lack of administration has left the country open to weak economic development. The country has seen failures in the processes of trying to establish businesses and many impediments in private-sector production and investment such as an underdeveloped financial sector and infrequent access to finances. It has seen a severely underdeveloped labor market, and very poor social welfare programs. Afghanistan sees very low education rates and mass unemployment. The country also sees a problem with resource and economic distribution. This poverty, underdevelopment, and instability are often associated with country’s that are willing to be safe havens for terrorists. Because of these poverty and instability conditions Afghanistan has created a country where rational terrorist see a high opportunity cost and a low risk to their actions

Also, the internet has been found to have a role to play in creating terrorists. The causes of terrorism are widespread and variable (Krieger & Meierrieks, 2011). Many school dropouts become idle and are vulnerable to be recruited to groups, which have hatred for the government, a particular section of the population or group of people.

No one can deny that the word terrorism is hated to be heard. Terrorism is commonly known as any action referring to violence against innocent citizens or causing damages to a public or private property for political purposes. According to Maria Keet, (Senior Lecturer with the Department of Computer Science, University of Cape Town) Terrorism is resulted due to plenty of causes that made such a phenomenon be a public concern. Separatism is probably the main reason of arising of terrorism. The conflict between people is due to nationalism and racism issues. This conflict arises with the existence of inequality, racism and political opportunities. Other reason of arising of terrorism is poverty and social inequality. Some statistics proved that 15% of the population consumes 85% of the resources all over the world which made the other 85% of population fight for these resources by any means. Last but not the least; Religion is one of the causes of terrorism especially in Egypt. Terrorism became widely spread in the Egyptian streets after the 30th June revolution in 2013. After the sacking of the former president, who belonged to a religious organization, his supporters decided to spread terrorism all-over the country until the former president gets back to his position as a president of Arab Republic of Egypt. Since then, this terroristic organization performs a terroristic operation which had many impacts on Egypt and Egyptians. Since June 2013,
