Abstract
South Asia, particularly the Afghanistan-Pakistan sub-region, is a hotbed of regional and global terrorism. It exports and imports terrorism, both i ntra- and extra-regionally. Not only the South Asian states, particularly the major ones — India and Pakistan — have fallen victim of terrorist violence, it has also profoundly affected regional and international security. The threat of terrorism, owing to a variety of reasons, is likely to continue as a major source of concern for the South Asian states at least in the foreseeable future.
