Pakistan Quest for security An Analysis of Internal and External Security
Many times, people think of terrorism as a premeditated, harsh response to perceived injustices. Unfortunately, reports on the repercussions of terrorism frequently lack a clear understanding of the psychological and societal reasons that underlie these kinds of acts. Pakistan has been at the forefront of both the global counterterrorism effort and the experience of terrorism since the events of 9/11. This essay examines the security issues that Pakistan faces as a result of terrorism, which feeds a vicious cycle of radicalization. Pakistan is suffering greatly as a result of the aftermath of terrorism, which has affected its political, social, economic, and physical infrastructure. Terrorism has cost the nation dearly on the social, economic, and human fronts. Despite playing a significant role in the global campaign against terrorism, Pakistan has received unjust labels as a financier of global terrorism. Pakistani terrorism is a complicated problem shaped by many variables, with psychological aspects being one of the most important ones. Since 9/11, countries with a majority of Muslims, especially Pakistan, have felt emotionally threatened by the term "terrorism," frequently connecting it to crimes committed by extreme groups wrongly classified as Muslim
