ABSTRACT
Terrorism is the gravest human security problem of 21st century. Today, it is not the problem of one country, rather the whole world is witnessing the menace of terrorism in one way or the other. It has spread its tentacles to almost all the countries and has posed a great threat to the world. It has not only the killed people, but has also annihilated social and economic systems various countries. It has broken the civilized world order that took millennia to form. Militancy, insurgency, cross-border terrorism, state terrorism, international terrorism are few words which are interchangeably used as different expressions of terrorism, though they are conceptually different from each other. Thus, in this paper an attempt has been made to make a brief analysis of different forms of terrorism which have posed a great threat to the entire world. Further, in this paper an endeavor has been made to offer suggestive measures for solutions to the prolonged problem of terrorism.
