| Summary/Abstract |
The secular, pluralistic, ethnically diverse, and vibrant democracy that India has nurtured ever since its independence in 1947 has become the envy of many radical and extremist ideologies and religions that seek to bring in order through tools of fourth generation warfare like Jihad and "Proxy War." Typical examples of such conflicts facing India are the ones being waged against her by Jehadi organizations like the Lashkar-e-Taiba and other proxy factions supported by the Pakistan Inter Services Intelligence Agency. Despite a few pro-active measures instituted by the government of India after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, there is no clear counter-terrorism policy that has been articulated either in the form of a doctrine or white paper. If India has to dispel the image of being a "soft state," it is imperative that the government clearly spells out its stand on terrorism.

| Summary/Abstract |
One by one, most places and institutions dear to Pakhtuns are coming under attack from the militants. Mosques and shrines have been bombed. The hujra, or the male guesthouse, has been frequently attacked while serving as a venue of public meetings and political gatherings. Jirgas in session have been targeted and scores of tribal elders and clerics in attendance have been killed. The lashkars, made up of armed tribal volunteers, too have faced the wrath of the suicide bomber.
It was said that Pakhtuns like good food and guns, and enjoy music and a nice joke. One will have to take out music from the list of things that Pakhtuns like because the Taliban militants don't like the playing of songs and musical instruments. However, they don't mind eating well, acquiring the most sophisticated weapons and cracking jokes in which someone else is ridiculed.
