India releases its National CounterTerrorism Policy & Strategy.
INTRODUCTION
India has been at the forefront of the ongoing fight against terrorism for several decades now. While the nature of threats continues to change and present new challenges, India has remained consistently opposed to terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
There has been a history of sporadic instability in the immediate neighborhood of India, which has often given rise to ungoverned spaces. Besides, few countries in the region have sometimes used terrorism as an instrument of State Policy. Notwithstanding this, India does not link terrorism to any specific religion, ethnicity, nationality or civilization. India has always denounced terrorism and its use by any actor for achieving any stated or unstated ends, unambiguously and unequivocally.
India has always stood by the victims of terrorism and has been steadfast in its belief that there can be no justification whatsoever, for violence in the world. It is this principled approach which informs the Indian policy of ‘zero tolerance’ against terrorism.
The counter-terrorism strategy of India, ‘PRAHAAR’, flows from these ideals and is predicated on the following:
Prevention of terror attacks to protect Indian citizens and interests;
Responses, which are swift and proportionate to the threat posed;
Aggregating internal capacities for achieving synergy in a whole-of-government approach;
Human rights and ‘Rule of Law’ based processes for mitigation of threats;
Attenuating the conditions enabling terrorism, including radicalization;
Aligning and shaping the international efforts to counter terrorism;
Recovery and resilience through a whole-of-society approach.
