To, Shri P. Chidambaram Union Home Minister New Delhi Sub: - Identification of terror attack Honourable Minister, We are the citizen of India and facing continuous terror attack in Metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and other palaces. On this major issue in our organisation held a healthy debate on which we derive conclusion that Post-Mumbai, the cracks in our security structure stand seriously exposed. A complete revamp of the police force, especially at the metro level, is now top priority. The police to effectively take up the challenges thrown by terrorism remain in deep freeze. I humbly request you to implement police reforms proposed by the Mission on an urgent basis. As a beginning, you could get the states to upgrade the existing police stations and provide better equipment. The nation needs an alert and responsive police to fight the war on terror. Yours sincerely, Concerned Citizens of India Ishan Chugh Harmeet Kaur Chirag Gupta

Introduction
No group or nation should mistake our intentions: We will not rest until terrorist groups of global reach have been found, have been stopped, and have been defeated. The word "Terrorism" has been derived from Latin word "Terrere" which means "To fight". This word was first used in Rome in a state of emergency in response to the approach of Warriors of the Cimbri tribe in 105B.C. Terror is used as a means of coercion. In simple words, Terror means all those acts which are done in order to create fear in the minds of the people. Terror is a feeling of fear and anxiety, the use of violence against civilians.

In early 1975, the Law Enforcement Assistant Administration in the United States formed the National Advisory Committee on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals. One of the five volumes that the committee wrote was entitled Disorders and Terrorism, produced by the Task Force on Disorders and Terrorism under the direction of H.H.A. Cooper, Director of the Task Force staff.[70] The Task Force classified terrorism into six categories.

Civil disorder A form of collective violence interfering with the peace, security, and normal functioning of the community. Political terrorism Violent criminal behaviour designed primarily to generate fear in the community, or substantial segment of it, for political purposes. Non-Political terrorism Terrorism that is not aimed at political purposes but which exhibits conscious design to

create and maintain a high degree of fear for coercive purposes, but the end is individual or collective gain rather than the achievement of a political objective.

Quasi-terrorism The activities incidental to the commission of crimes of violence that are similar in form and method to genuine terrorism but which nevertheless lack its essential ingredient. It is not the main purpose of the quasi-terrorists to induce terror in the immediate victim as in the case of genuine terrorism, but the quasi-terrorist uses the modalities and techniques of the genuine terrorist and produces similar consequences and reaction.[71] For example, the fleeing felon who takes hostages is a quasiterrorist, whose methods are similar to those of the genuine terrorist but whose purposes are quite different. Limited political terrorism Genuine political terrorism is characterized by a revolutionary approach; limited political terrorism refers to acts of terrorism which are committed for ideological or political motives but which are not part of a concerted campaign to capture control of the state. Official or state terrorism "referring to nations whose rule is based upon fear and oppression that reach similar to terrorism or such proportions. It may also be referred to as Structural Terrorism defined broadly as terrorist acts carried out by governments in pursuit of political objectives, often as part of their foreign policy.

Several sources have further defined the typology of terrorism: Political terrorism Sub-state terrorism Social revolutionary terrorism Nationalist-separatist terrorism Religious extremist terrorism

Religious fundamentalist Terrorism New religions terrorism Right-wing terrorism Left-wing terrorism Single-issue terrorism State-sponsored terrorism Regime or state terrorism Criminal terrorism Pathological terrorism The terrorist attacks of 26/11 upon Mumbai, were acts of war against the Nation, peaceful People throughout the world, and the very principles of liberty and human dignity. The Nation, together with our Coalition partners, has fought back and will win this war. We will hold the work to prevent the recurrence of similar action on any parameter Whether at home or abroad. The War on Terror extends beyond the current armed conflict that Arose out of the attacks of 26/11, and embraces all facets of continuing our nation efforts to Bring an end to the terrorism. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism focuses on identifying and defusing threats before they reach our borders. While we appreciate the nature of the Difficult challenge before us, our strategy should be continues to the terrorism. The United States with its unique ability almost prevent him by the terror. If necessary, however, we will not hesitate to act alone, including acting against terrorists to prevent them from doing harm to our people and our country. We will use the power of our values to shape a free and more prosperous world.

Executive summary
Our nation commitment to lead the world to victory in the war against terrorism. We fully support your call for a broad and sustained campaign against the terrorist organizations and those who support them. and we must, go after terrorism wherever we find it in the world and get it by its branch and root. We agree with the government policy must aim not only at finding the people responsible for this incident, but must also target those other groups out there that mean us no good and that have conducted attacks previously against nation, In order to carry out this first war of the 21st century successfully, and in order, as you have said, to do future generations a favor by coming together wipe out terrorism, we have seen their kind before. They are the cause of all the murders in 21th century. By sacrificing human life to serve their vision, by abounding every value of the mankind??. We people know that terrorism did not begin on november11/26,the history is very long and we people are familiar with that. 21 century punctuated by terrorism. Today, in the battle of terrorism we are not alone whole globe is against the terror. Terrorist have left their mark in any way upon globe. With the end of the Cold War, we also saw Dramatic improvements in the ease of Communication. While terrorism is not new, todays

9 Terrorist threat is different from that of the past. Modern technology has enabled terrorists to plan and operate worldwide as never before. With advanced telecommunications they can coordinate their actions among dispersed cells while remaining in the shadows. Todays terrorists increasingly enjoy a force-multiplier effect by establishing links with other like-minded Organizations around the globe.

Combating terrorism
India has become a soft target for terror attack. The root cause of all terror attacks is lack of cooperation and coordination, which is present between the states governments and the Centre .Serial Often we are reminded that terrorism continues to inflict pain and suffering on peoples lives all over the world. Almost no week goes by without an act of terrorism taking place somewhere in the world, indiscriminately affecting innocent blasts have become a routine affair now in the country. Any terrorist group can play with innocent lives of citizens. Few present agencies/ministries/defense and paramilitary forces that are individually and collectively facing the identification, tackling and suppression of terrorist activities on Indian soil are:

Anti-Terrorist Squad or Anti-Terrorism Squad as it is popularly called was created by Government of Maharashtra

10

on July 8, 2004. The ATS works towards gathering information regarding anti-national elements active in parts of Maharashtra, coordinating with Central information agencies, like IB, RAW and exchange information with them, coordinating with special squads of other States,

The National Security Guard (NSG) was set up as a centralized emergency operational Force in 1984 to tackle terrorism in the country. The basic function of the Force is to fight terrorism in the areas where the activities of terrorism is very high.

The state police and its intelligence set-up

Physical security agencies

The national intelligence community

Paramilitary forces

The Army

11

To check this terrorism some strategies need to be put into place to make the tackling of terrorism into an obsession like The United Nations General Assembly adopted a global counter-terrorism strategy on 8 September 2006. The strategy - in the form of a Resolution and an annexed Plan of Action - is a unique instrument to enhance national, regional and international efforts to counter terrorism. Its adoption marks the first time that all Member States have agreed to a common strategic and operational approach to fight terrorism. Its aim is to reduce the risk from international terrorism through four strands:

12

Prevent preventing terrorism by tackling radicalisation of individuals. Pursue pursuing terrorists and those that sponsor them Protect protecting the public, key national services and UK interests overseas

Glossary:Radicalization:- To make people more willing to consider new& different policies, idea etc to make people more complete in their political opinion. Annex:-- To take control of a country, region etc.

In all of Europe, and Germany it is mandatory for every citizen or resident to have an identity card.Every resident is registered at the equivalent of the local panchayat office of the area where the person lives pecially by force. No house can be rented; no bank account can be opened without a registration in the local panchayat. ID cards must be carried at all times. Our problem in India is that all our enemies are within the country and, secondly, we do not know who is an Indian?

13

European laws make it easy to arrest terrorism suspects. European anti-terrorism laws are more expedient and give broader capability to reach people who merely advocate violence or solidarity with terrorists. Anti-terrorism legal codes in the UK and Europe cover a range of offences. In the UK, In the UK, for instance, it is illegal to merely possess a terrorist training manual even one that is available for download on the Web. some of strategies:National strategy for combating terrorism. National military strategic plan for war on terrorism. What India urgently needs is a nationwide professional counterterrorism strategy that covers scenarios in advance by clearly defining the aims, boundaries, roles and responsibilities of those involved in counter-terrorism. In most societies afflicted by the threat of terrorism, a wide range of measures have been adopted to tackle the menace.

Glossary:Expedient:-An action that is useful or necessary for a particular purpose, but not always fair or right. This includes:-- killing terrorist combatants, imprisonment of captured terrorists, provision of financial and other inducements to terrorists to give up the struggle, amnesties, establishment of political dialogue as well as the award of political concessions to meet half-way the demands to solve grievances that have made individuals adopt terrorism against the authorities. While these are important measures, by themselves, they are necessary but not sufficient to end terrorism.

14

Around the globe both developed & developing country like USA,UK,Japan Israel,Argentina,Spain,Russia&India has terrorist policy like:Japan has sharply upgraded security procedures relating to visa, immigration, Enhanced interagency and international information exchange regarding immigration; Denial of entry into Japan of individuals and entities listed by the United Counter-terrorism techniques followed by India The techniques followed by India stress the following: The importance of timely technical intelligence, which is generally more precise than human intelligence. Effective physical security measures so that even if intelligence fails, security agencies are able to prevent acts of terrorism. good investigative machinery, specially trained to investigate terrorism-related cases.

Glossary:Amnesties:--A period of time during which people can admit to a crime or give up weapons without being punished. Some of the significant successes in different countries against Al Qaeda apparently by possible due to increased intelligencesharing without reservations. Regional cooperation in South Asia

15

Regional cooperation in the battle against terrorism has not been as successful in south Asia as it has been in the southeast Asian region. This is largely because of Pakistan's policy of using terrorism as a weapon to keep the Indian security forces bleeding and pre-occupied with internal security duties and Bangladesh's tolerance of the activities of terrorists from its territory. Unless these two countries realise the folly of their policies and actions, which have made their own territories playgrounds for terrorist groups of different hues and irrationalities, there is very little scope for any meaningful co-operation.

Glossary:Irrational-unreasonable,foolish,illogical,absurd. Folly-idiocy,silliness. Pakistan has been accused by India, Afghanistan, the United States, the United Kingdom, of involvement in terrorism in

16

Kashmir and Afghanistan. Poland has also alleged that terrorists have "friends in Pakistani government structures. The Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) has stated that it was training more than 3,000 militants from various nationalities. According to some reports published by the Council of Foreign Relations, the Pakistan military and the ISI have provided covert support to terrorist groups active in Kashmir, including the al-Qaeda affiliate Jaish-e-Mohammed". Pakistan has denied any involvement in terrorist activities in Kashmir, arguing that it only provides political and moral support to the secessionist groups who wish to escape Indian rule. Many Kashmiri militant groups also maintain their headquarters in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, which is cited as further proof by the Indian government. Many of the terrorist organisations are banned by the UN, but continue to operate under different names. Many consider that Pakistan has been playing both sides in the US "War on Terror Pakistan is accused of sheltering and training the Taliban in operations "which include soliciting funding for the Taliban, bankrolling Taliban operations, providing diplomatic support as the Taliban's virtual emissaries abroad, arranging training for Taliban fighters, recruiting skilled and unskilled manpower to serve in Taliban armies, planning and directing offensives, providing and facilitating shipments of ammunition and fuel, and on several occasions apparently directly providing combat support.

Glossary:Emissaries-someone who does something for a government.

Expanding Network of LeT and HUJI-B

Post-Mumbai attacks and the release of two of its jailed leaders, the LeT is as much a threat as the Taliban or any other group of the al Qaeda network. This concern, is based on doubts regarding the ability of Pakistan army and ISI to crack down on their own creation. There are also doubts regarding a split within the LeT and its disintegration into splinter groups, not necessarily under the control of the Pakistan army. This further implies that the group has followed a trajectory not expected even by the Pakistan army. Given this possibility, recent reports revealing the groups operations and bases in India, its recruitment strategy, and financial network are of grave concern. The recent arrest of Mohammad Omar Madni, a close associate of Saeed, revealed plans of the LeT to establish bases in the Konkan region and Malabar coastal area of Kerala, parts of Jharkhand, and in the jungles along the Indo-Nepal border, to facilitate the transfer of funds (Hindu 6 June 2009). Nepal, in particular, is emerging as an important base for the LeT to carry out its operations in India, as revealed by Madni (Indian Express 11 June 2009). In terms of its recruitment strategy, the LeT is looking to those working in fireworks factories who can be trained to assemble improvised explosive devices, apart from computer literates and graduates from the metropolises (Hindu 6 June 2009). While LeTs Gulf connections are well-established, investigations into the 2008 Mumbai attacks have revealed a similar pattern, involving Gulf-based financers (Roul 2009). Since joining the IIF in 1998, HUJI-B has sought to expand its linkages with separatist groups like ULFA in Assam and other Islamist terrorist groups like JeM and Glossary:-

18

Disintegration-be destroyed by breaking into small pieces. Let-lashker-e-toibaHuji- Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami LeT to facilitate a mutual swap of operatives for operations, mutual use of bases and safe houses, and logistical networking for increasing operational Linked to the above developments, is the rise of a group of individuals in India willing to take up violence in the name of religion. While the emergence of the first such group of homegrown terrorists dates back to 1993 (John 2008), this phenomenon has gained considerable momentum in the past few years with the emergence of the Indian Mujahideen (IM), a group that first claimed responsibility for the court blasts in UP in November 2007. Committed to the cause of spreading Islam in India, the group has since claimed responsibility for a series of bomb blasts that occurred in quick succession in 2008: Jaipur (May), Bangalore (July), Ahemdabad (July), and New Delhi (September). Notwithstanding reports alleging links between the IM, LeT, Student Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), and even Pakistans ISI, the rise of the group throws significant light on the pattern of radicalization in India. Most of the alleged members of the group, arrested or charged by the Maharashtra police, belong to Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh and are young, educated, employed men, adept at exploiting the latest technology. This is in sharp contrast to the predominant phenomenon of madrassa-educated and bred terrorists in the region.. Technical Capabilities and Resources In sync with the development of transnational terrorism, the attacks in India underscore the accretion of terrorist resources in terms of access to higher technology, equipment, communications,

19

and cyber space. Glossary:Radicalization-make person,group or system more radical. Accretion-gradual increase in size or amount. The Internet, in particular, is emerging as a powerful tool used by terrorists for multiple purposes, including propaganda and publicity, networking, fundraising, recruitment and mobilization, and planning and coordination (Weimann 2004). With these developments, transnational organizations such as the al Qaeda, reflect newer organizational patterns, guided by a broad set of guidelines rather than a command hierarchy.

20

Regional Challenges
The cross-border linkages of transnational terrorism warrant an effective regional response to the threat. The biggest challenge in this regard is securing Indias borders at a time when the forces of globalization are reducing the significance of national borders. While India is keen to push for crossborder trade to strengthen economic linkages, it concomitantly faces the danger of infiltration by inimical forces as also a large number of migrants who face the danger of becoming a parish for radicalization. Coastal security is another area of concern that has emerged post-Mumbai attacks. The guarding of Indias 7,516km-long coastline, along nine states, is a formidable task, demanding an appraisal of the capacity of the Coast Guard, the primary agency responsible for guarding the coastline. The predominant challenge however, remains the continuing mutual distrust and suspicion; the Mumbai investigations, for instance, have been affected by the stalemate between India and Pakistan over credible evidence and effective cooperation in investigations.

21

Glossary:Concomitantly-happening at the same time. Inimical-causing harm,or stopping. This stems, in part, from the failure to recognize the emergence of transnational terrorism that is targeting both India and Pakistan.. Regional efforts and arrangements such as SAARC have also been rendered ineffective due to political mistrust. This situation, however, could well be changing, given the increasing victimization of most South Asian countries (except Bhutan, Maldives, and Sri Lanka, to some extent) by transnational terrorism. Supporting a regional mechanism to facilitate technical cooperation in counterinsurgency, Strengthen policecommunity relations to increase the resilience of communities to extremism. Immediate Measures - Bilateral Build a common data bank on terrorist outfits and their networks, similar to the Terrorist Offences Monitoring Desk created in Colombo. Establish several Working Groups on Counterterrorism, along the lines of the working groups created during the course of the peace process, where each can focus on different aspects of counterterrorism cooperation ranging from terrorist financing, sharing of information/

22

actionable intelligence, to the training of counterterrorism practitioners from either side, among others. Long Term Measures - Bilateral Evolve a common counter-terror framework to combating terrorism. . Given the political obstacles impeding SAARCs work, establish a regional, technically-focused counterterrorism mechanism such as a regional law-enforcement training center that can Glossary:Victimization-assesing the role of offender or offence. provide training for a range of counterterrorism practitioners in collaboration with other countries; or a mechanism similar to the Intergovernmental Authority on Developments Capacity-Building Programme Against Terrorism (ICPAT) in Africa that focuses on capacity-and-confidence building in the region, need to be explored (International Peace Institute, 2009).

POLICY CHALLENGES TO COUNTER TERRORISM

Fragile political systems and nascent democracies have generated ideal conditions for the sponsorship of insurgencies, resulting in institutionalizing this phenomenon. The transnational nature of terrorism, however, is significantly transforming the challenge of terrorism in India. The convergence of different Islamist groups in pursuit of a global agenda, thriving

28

transnational financial and commercial networks, access to latest communication technology coupled with weak institutional capacities, socioeconomic marginalization and widespread corruption, reflect the complexity of the challenges, both regional and domestic, which confront India in its fight against terrorism. Domestic Challenges Recent attacks in India have underscored the multiple challenges in countering terrorism from a weak and poorly-trained police force, weak intelligence-gathering, target hardening (securityincluding training of practitioners and other capacity-building measures, will go a long way in undermining political mistrust and securing Indias national interests.

Glossary:Marginalization-make something seem unimportant. Thriving-very successful

Findings
In recent months the country has witnessed a spate of terrorist attacks in different cities as well as organised communal violence against religious minorities in several states.

29

We the undersigned strongly condemn all these acts of violence that have resulted in loss of life and grievous injury to scores of innocent people. It is clear that whoever is responsible for such violence should be severely punished under Indian law and all measures be taken to protect the lives of ordinary citizens under threat from their activities. We find it deeply disturbing however that the Indian government as well as concerned state governments have adopted double standards in dealing with the two equally deadly phenomenon of terrorist bombings and communal violence. On one hand throughout the country Muslim youth are being targeted, without any or little evidence, as responsible for terrorist attacks. On the other hand Hindu extremists behind the communal violence in Orissa, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh against Christian populations are being allowed to go scot-free. In our view there is a concerted attempt by the Indian police, sections of the media and certain political parties to portray all members of the Muslim community as 'terrorists and extremists' - to be arbitrarily arrested, tortured and killed in fake encounters. The term 'terrorism' is however never associated with the Hindu extremist outfits like the Bajrang Dal, Vishwa Hindu Parishad or the Shiv Sena despite their clear and acknowledged role in the murder and injury of hundreds of innocent Indian citizens, from religious minority communities. Hindu extremists have been found time and again planting bombs in Muslim religious places or localities in Nanded and Malegaon in Maharashtra, Tenkasi in Tamil Nadu and suspected of carrying out the heinous bomb blasts on the Samjhauta Express in 2007. The recent attacks on Christian religious institutions are in fact openly claimed by Hindu

30

terrorist groups, like the Bajrang Dal in front of television news cameras and yet no action is taken against them.

31

Steps can be taken

It is in this context of utter hypocrisy of the Indian and state governments that we would like to demand the following: 1) An immediate ban on all organizations and individuals carrying out or inciting communal violence particularly the Bajrang Dal, Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Shiv Sena; 2) Stringent punishment for those organizing or participating in communal violence against Christians in Orissa, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and other parts of the country; 3) Special investigation by an independent body of the involvement of Hindu extremist organizations in terrorist activity such as planting explosives, manufacturing arms and mobilizing mob attacks on religious minority populations; 4) Disbarment from contesting national or state elections, by the Election Commission, of political parties found guilty of using religious, regional, linguistic hatred and violence to further their electoral fortunes; 5) Setting up of a judicial commission to inquire into the indiscriminate arrests, torture and killings of youth belonging to the Muslim community. 6) Payment of adequate compensation to each person, from all communities, arrested, tortured, injured or killed on false charges by the Indian police; prosecution of police officers guilty of planting evidence and framing false charges against innocent people; 7) Initiation of action on the recommendations of the Srikrishna Commission Report, expediting of pending cases against those involved in the demolition of the Babri Masjid and speedy justice for the survivors of the 2002 anti-Muslim pogrom in Gujarat. 8) A ban on regional chauvinist organizations such as the Maharashtra Navnirman Samithi of Raj Thackeray responsible for atta.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The following are some recommendations, keeping in mind the measures already undertaken by the Ministry of Home Affairs to augment Indias internal security infrastructure. Immediate Measures - Domestic To combat financing of terrorism, create a specialized cell, including officers with expertise on financial investigations, to augment the power of the investigative agencies engaged in counterterrorism. Given the increasing use of the Internet by terrorists, create web-based organizations to monitor terrorists websites, increased surveillance of internet cafes, use of technology that can identify the location of a computer and filter access to particular Internet content according to the national origin of the computer (Geolocation software) and internet content policy legislations that allow the government to regulate content on the internet, need to be explored and debated in India (Conway 2007). Focus on Border Area Development Programmes that aim to promote the socio-economic development of communities living close to Indias borders to reduce their vulnerability to being use by inimical forces. Besides increasing security cover in public places, train staff in public places in rendering first aid, evacuation techniques, and relief operations are equally important (Kanwal and Manoharan 2009) and Improve Indias emergency and municipal services such as fire brigades.

33

Long Term Measures - Domestic Engage with Islamic theologists to evolve a code of conduct that will delegitimize activities of terrorist.

Conclusion:
To conclude with, lets not forget that the enemies of our nation have vowed to "bleed India through thousand cuts". Even if terrorism represents a small fraction of the overall economic risk in India, it may have a large impact on the allocation of productive capital across the country. In any part of the world terrorism is unwanted as it not only kills the human life but also the infrastructure, industry ultimately shackling its overall growth. Since the September 11 attacks, America is safer, but we are not yet safe. We have done much towards it, our Muslim partners Muslim partners are speaking out against those who seek to use their religion to justify violence and a vision of the world. We have significantly expanded our trends to the War on Terror. We have liberated more than 50 million Afghans and Iraqis from despotism, terrorism, and oppression, permitting the first free elections in recorded history for either nation. In addition, we have transformed our governmental institutions and framework to wage a generational struggle. There will continue to be challenges ahead, but along with our partners, we will attack terrorism and its ideology, and bring hope and freedom to the people of the world.
