Human history has been replete with varied terrorist activities, Political persecution of Pandavas or the terrorist activities of Rakshas can be traced back to epic myths. Medieval world
as uninterruptedly witnessed the killings and assassination of kings and their brothers either in a bid to usurp power or to maintain the hegemony through fratricidal wars.
State terrorism cause the second world war, costing in human sufferings to lives of more than lakhs of people apart from their death. Modern terroristic violence, however, has generally been characterized as a post-world war II development, albeit occasionally traced to the terror implicit in Germany bombing of London, the Allied bombings of Dresden and other cities, and the U.S bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
