    The cause of terrorism is the desire of Islamic UmmahBy: Madhup Rathi | 02-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward One more simplistic explanation of the phenomenon of Islamic terrorism. Pakistan has used terrorism since 1980s (remember Punjab and Kashmir), when India was still floundering with socialism. The real reason is the cause of partition of our country. The cause of the partition is Muslims' inability to accept Hindu rulers of this country, given that British had mandated democracy. This is entirely consistent with the Muslim elite's belief that they ruled this country for centuries and after the exit of British, it was their natural right to be the ruler. Since they could not achieve that, they settled for partition, as living under the rulership of Hindus was far worse than accepting a part of nation that they could rule by themselves. However, the fact that they only got only 1/4th of the nation was never digested by this medieval mind-set. The jehad for Kashmir and the infiltration in Assam
