Terrorism in South Asia: Impact on Pak-Indo Relations

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how terrorism in South Asia affects relations between Pakistan and India and to meticulously examine the nature and content of the South Asian peace process, with a focus on India and Pakistan. This study's technique heavily emphasised qualitative analysis. The methodology employed in the study steers clear of explicitly addressing the policies of the South Asian countries in favor of examining the relationships between terrorism and already available policy expert literature. In South Asia, terrorism predates both mythology and history. Perhaps the abduction of Sita by the Lankan King Ravan by luring her to the glitter of a golden deer in the Ramayana epic, which is read and revered throughout South and Southeast Asia, was a terrorist act. The South Asian region is currently one of the world's most terrorist-prone regions. This study revealed that the chances of an India-Pakistani peace process have diminished due to the expanding type of terrorist incidents.
