Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Radicalization means to bring about “revolutionary changesâ€. Revolutionary changes in all aspects of life social, economic, political and ideological. But in the present circumstances, the movement has become more religiously motivated, leading both emergence of “Taliban Phenomenaâ€. In its extreme form it is seen in militancy, extremism and in most worst form “terrorism†and “suicide bombings†which has created feared terror and destruction of human life and property. Both Pakistan and Afghanistan are in the grip of terrorism. The phenomenon of radicalization, as mention above, has emerged since 1980 when Russia made naked aggression, when it was resisted by Afghan Jehad. When America toppled down Taliban government in 2001 and when the events of 9/11 happened. The feelings of radicalization are becoming universal; when the struggle of our armed forces is going on to contain Talibanization and the resistance of militants to adopt revengeful activities in the country. The problem of radicalization is attributed to many complex factors and forces beside political reasons. Its causes are thought are of more social, economic, and ideological nature. The unrest in society due to insecure situation, unemployment, injustice, heart breaking inflation, poor governance, corruption, inefficiency, lack of basic amenities like education, basic health facilities, disintegration of social mores, norms and values etc had further aggravated the situation. Most importantly, an “uncertain future†of our young people, has consequently driven them towards radicalization. The anti-west sentiments have further strengthened their conviction that the west has adopted aggressive policy, towards Muslim countries, Islam is under attack, Muslims are humiliated and therefore suicide attacks are the only alternative to reciprocate it. The study conducted on the state of such situation looking in to the genesis of radicalization, its impacts on various aspects of life of the people, was an attempt to address such issues.
