Terrorism, in whatever shape it takes, is evil and can never be justified. Terrorism is becoming a worldwide concern that challenges all governments in all regions. Since its independence, India has faced insurgency and terrorism in many sections of the nation, with border-terrorism being the most perplexing issue. Pakistan is often accused for terrorism in India. Terrorist groups, both religious and non-religious, have engaged in a variety of terrorist acts, using modern and sophisticated technology and maintaining external relationships with other terrorist organizations. The underlying issue is a highly politicized and radicalized form of Islam, which Islamic clergy readily interpret for their own limited aims. People were dissatisfied as a result of underdevelopment and isolation. Enraged organizations subsequently used the same geographical conditions that hampered expansion to undertake out successful terrorist actions. Using statistics and GIS research, I do a district-level evaluation of terrorism in India. Case studies from the Indian states of Uttarakhand, Tamil Nadu, and Assam are used to augment the study. I also provide a case study from Nigeria to demonstrate the theory's applicability outside of Asia. Geographic constraints, particularly wooded terrain and closeness to foreign borders, have, in my view, hindered growth and increased the risk of terrorism. Terrorism is motivated by a compelling political ideology, an extreme strain of Islam, rather than poverty or US foreign policy. A preferable long-term approach is to weaken radical Islam by displaying the power of democratic principles and movements.
