| Summary/Abstract |
Since June 2014, the extremist terrorist group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS) has expanded quickly and seized significant territory in Iraq and Syria. It not only threatens the very existence of the Iraqi government, but also has changed the nature of the Syria conflict, and its influence is spilling over outside of the region.

| Summary/Abstract |
Declaration by ISIS that the Central Asian States (CAS) will be one of the targets has been a matter of great concern not only for these concerned countries but also for those which are closely politically and economically linked with Central Asia. Hence several questions arise. Why are the CAS targets of the ISIS and what are the problems facing the CAS due to this declaration by the ISIS? What policy measures are taken by the state authorities of the CAS to deal with this situation? What are the perspectives and challenges?

| Summary/Abstract |
Conflict shall neither serve the purpose of East nor even of the west, but obviously it may serve the purpose of terrorist organizations and all at the cost of severe human rights violations of the common and innocent citizens of the Central Asian region. Hence, oil, gas, geopolitics and terrorism create rigmarole.

| Summary/Abstract |
A close examination of the turbulence and frustrations evident in the northeast would indicate that the northeastern insurgency has to be tackled with political prudence. This would be possible only if the centre and the northeastern states evolve a two-point agenda to solve the problem. Such an approach involves both: negotiations with the various extremist outfits and simultaneously ensuring adequate socio-economic development of diverse ethnic groups, political and economic advancements, reductions in unemployment and underemployment, land reforms, transparent governance, and inclusionary conditions for minority political participation.

| Summary/Abstract |
Since its political independent existence 1747, Afghanistan had been useful for the great empires for sustaining the balance of power. The geopolitical rivalry between British India and Tsarist Russia from the last century (1880-1901) to date had complicated the security situation in Afghanistan. It was not the issue of sovereignty rather it was security concerns of British India and Russia that determined Afghanistan as a state.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Indo-US cooperation on countering terrorism can reinvigorate their relationship if both the countries understand the sensitivity of the issue from each other’s point of view and act accordingly. This is a challenge from the non-state actors with global membership. It can only be tackled with collaborative efforts on the part of both United States and India- the largest and oldest democracies of the world.

| Summary/Abstract |
The actions of ISIS in the past few years have left the whole international community to stare feared with awe. The pace with which ISIS is expanding and the number of victims that leaves behind, has caused severe alert to all international organizations and States. The problems of the funding of ISIS, the support from other terrorist groups, the internet propaganda and the foreign terrorist fighters are phenomena that are still hard to be 100% traced and solved.

Consequently, the issue of Islamic terrorism is serving the interests of Da’esh as well as western countries and this war will be continued in future.

| Summary/Abstract |
Terrorism can be understood by Action -Reaction Syndrome .Deep rooted causes shape the mindset of the terrorist for indulging in violent action .It is the manifestation of careful preparation seeded with consciously selected targets .More often than not the response from government follows extremely devastating action. As the terrorist groups have dissimilar reasons at different times and in different locations the response may not be successful by the government /the ultimate target. It is not occurrence but recurrence in different situations by different groups whose motivations and methods do not follow a uniform pattern.

| Summary/Abstract |
Terrorism is a term with no agreed definition among governments or academicians, but is almost used exclusively in a pejorative sense, to describe life-threatening actions perpetrated by politically motivated self-appointed sub-state groups. A more accurate definition has been proffered by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, London: terrorism is the use of violence, often against people not directly involved in a conflict, by groups operating clandestinely, which generally claim to have high political or religious purposes, and believe that creating a climate of terror will assist attainment of their objectives.

| Summary/Abstract |
India cannot afford mismanagement of a strategic border state. Corruption not only distorts the local economy and politics, it destroys morale, creating the perfect conditions for terrorist infiltration and attack. Now that it’s apparent that terrorists (and the ISI) have widened their incursive focus beyond Kashmir, India cannot let any of its western border states be so rotten.

The mere fact that India has been subject to constant terror attacks amply necessitates effective response and actions. Indo-Pak engagement on terror should constitute one of the significant components of a comprehensive counter-terror policy and strategy for India.

The present NDA government seems to usher in renewed forms of dynamism in the Look East Policy and through its lens one gets to observe the vitality of North East India. Since assuming office as Prime Minister, he himself has made foreign visits to neighboring nations instead of visiting any developed nation, and while on his visit emphasizing their importance to India. This marks a shift in the policy module of the present government from the earlier one.

| Summary/Abstract |
The strategy against the IS is highly dynamic given the rapidly shifting sands of geopolitics in the region and the responses of the countries, including American allies, that have stakes and influence in the region. Given that the election campaign for the presidential seat is heating up in America, the candidates are currently engaged in hyperbolic rhetoric and anti-incumbency criticism that are normal recipes of the campaign season. However, in most likelihood, whoever comes to the White House, will eventually take forward and tie the threads of what President Obama has already been doing and aims to do in his remaining days.

| Summary/Abstract |
The key to managing the disruptions and assuaging people’s fears is governance. People saw the world fall apart a century ago not because human knowledge stopped advancing, but because of widespread governance and policy failures. As 2016 starts, we must focus on adapting governance, in all of its economic and political dimensions, to the 21st century, so our resources and knowledge produce inclusive progress, not violent conflict.

| Summary/Abstract |
When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, it was clear that the US was now at war with Japan. After 9/11 it was much less clear. The US ended up at war with Afghanistan and later with Iraq, but not with Saudi Arabia, the home country of the majority of the 9/11 attackers. The governments of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia did not directly participate in the attacks, making it somewhat complicated and difficult to know how to respond to the attacks. In fact, the destruction of the World Trade Towers demonstrates the horrifying consequences of a terrorist strike.

| Summary/Abstract |
Gun control would be able to halt proliferation of and sustenance of organised crimes, which buttresses the terrorist organisations of any kind. The US president Barak Obama’s recent vow for strict gun control policy clearly reflects the need of the hour. In fact, the global collaboration of strict gun control and restriction and proper monitoring of the ‘Gray Market Sales’ is needed. We may conclude reiterating the importance of the issue in comparison to so called ‘weapons of mass destruction’.

| Summary/Abstract |
The efforts of the international community are at best adaptive in nature to manage the menace of terrorism. Lack of consensus on comprehensive convention on international terrorism undermines the coordinated efforts of global community. There is a need to go for mitigation of terrorism- eliminating those conditions which give rise to tendency of violence and terrorism.

| Summary/Abstract |
In contemporary West Asia, terrorism normally brings to our attention the mindless violence committed by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria [ISIS] and elsewhere in the region and beyond. In addition bomb blasts in Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, Turkey, and growing violence in Syria and Lebanon remind us of indiscriminate terrorism. Many have condemned terrorist attacks on US and French marines in Lebanon in the early 1980’s when peace keeping forces from these and other countries were stationed in and around Beirut soon after the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in June 1982.
