Abstract
Since its independence from the British in 1947, Pakistan has been facing
several internal and external security challenges, for example the conflict with
India, insurgency in East Pakistan etc. A combination of such challenges led to its
disintegration in 1971 when Pakistan’s eastern part became Bangladesh. The
country’s direct involvement in the Afghan-Soviet War is a major reason of
contemporary security troubles, such as terrorism and religious extremism.
Nonetheless, a major wave of terrorism surfaced after 2002. Since then, terrorist
attacks have indiscriminately targeted places like market places, hotels, religious
and social gatherings, schools, mosques, public venues etc. As this trend has
continued for well over a decade, it is timely to access the impacts of terrorism on
the country and the future generation – youth. This paper explores both direct and
indirect impacts of terrorism on Pakistan and its youth.
