2. India has been facing threat of cross border terrorism since independence, when Pakistan sponsored Azad Kashmir forces comprising of local militia of POK and FATA attacked J&K in 1947.

4. The state police and its intelligence set-up: The central government provides just financial help, training and other assistance to strengthen their professional capabilities and share with them the intelligence collected by it. The responsibility then falls on the shoulder of state police. Why is the public not informed about the state affairs? </div></div>

5. India must invest more in strengthening its security forces including army by procuring state of the art weapon and equipment. “The fear of war is worse than war itself.”

6. The national intelligence community: This consists of the Internal intelligence agency (Intelligence Bureau), The external intelligence agency (Research and Analysis Wing), The Defence Intelligence Agency that was set up in 2010.

7. The Army: When the police and paramilitary forces are not able to cope with a terrorist situation, army comes into effect. In the case of Pakistan's large-scale infiltration in Jammu and Kashmir and the presence and activities of a large number of Pakistani mercenaries, the army has a more active, permanent and leadership role in counter-terrorism operations .

8. The fight against terrorism is very difficult and challenging task, for which concerted efforts by various responsible agencies, both national and international, is required. For fighting a successful war against cross border terrorism, an international political support and cooperation and coordination among the neighboring States is required.
