Abstract
The Soviet intervention in Afghanistan in 1979 was the turning point in spreading
militancy and extremism in the region. The militants influenced society with the
active support of local militant commanders by supporting the ‘Holy War’ in
Afghanistan. The emergence of Taliban in Afghanistan was the outcome of those
policies which were based on the religious spirit of Jihad in the region. The
Taliban spread their influence beyond Afghanistan during their rule but they
mostly infiltrated into Pakistan’s tribal areas after the US intervention in
Afghanistan in October 2001. The Taliban activities in tribal areas as well as in the
entire Pakistan have influenced all walks of life directly or indirectly.
