In the 21st century, most of the countries face different kinds of external and internal problems. But the most devastating problem which the whole world faces today is "terrorism". In the last two decades terrorism has become such a big problem that it cannot be solved unless one delves into its origin.

Use of terror or unpredictable violence against governments, public or individuals to attain certain objectives is called terrorism. The generally accepted definition of terrorism is that it is the use of violence against civilians by sub-national groups for political purposes. It is a contentious description, because it has gained a high emotional charge. It is one of the major reasons of violations of human rights. The twentieth century witnessed great changes in the use of practice of terrorism. Terrorism has no sanction in the religion, morality or international law. Terrorism as now a day has assumed global proportions sparing no country and no people.
